Hello Big Brains! Please, I am in need of some help. I am learning more and more about my ancestry and I want to pay homage by making my next tattoo related to this. I have found that my ancestry came largely from Ireland and specifically the Dublin area. I have done some research (please correct me if I am wrong though!) and it seems that the specific dialect or Irish that is spoken in this area is Connacht Irish, hence the GC request. If I am incorrect please let me know where I can learn more about this or if you have any insights to share with me.
Well long story short I have a couple of tattoo ideas and I am hoping to get them in the Ogham. I have done a bit of research about this as well and have found that for it to be most accurate that you should translate the writing into Irish before attempting to translate it to the Ogham. So I am here to humbly ask for some help in obtaining an accurate translation for the phrases and words I am interested in. I will list them below and number them so if you assist with more than one translation it will hopefully make it easier for you! Thank you for taking the time to read this far and thank you in advance for your help!!
1: Strength
2: Truth
3:
As above, so below
As within, so without
As the universe, so the soul
Above are the three things I would love help translating! I just wanted to clarify, in case it is important to anyone reading this that the 3rd phrase is NOT related to satanism, although it has been conflated by some, in my case it is completely unrelated. Thank you again for your time and assistance!
