That part about being able to speak off the top of your head about a particular subject just makes me think of the way I can just take off on a topic when I get the prompt(and the prompt can be just about anything.)
I'm thrilled by this. In no way aspiring to anything like it for myself, but the concept of an Ollamh is brilliant. Whose authority would they represent? The gods?
these days we have the "citizens assembly" , would be the closest entity that speaks for the people of Ireland . thanks john , these traditions , the rituals and events around the sun and moon , the ways of our ancestors who lived in a Golden age of humanity , are the envy of many cultures around the world , i would like to think that our wonderful wizard/Drui president Michael D. speaks for us all the thought comes to me , at what stage or forum and to whom , was there a need for such a speaker ? from the foot hills of the Dublin mountains , under the gaze of SeeFinn , to you and Lora , Beannachtai
Like the Poet Laureates of the modern era! Ireland doesn't have one at the national level, but I believe they do have county or regional poets laureate, yes? The U.S. picked up the tradition about 100 years ago. The difference between then and now of course being that the ancient ollamh had verified knowledge, wisdom and actual influence....

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 I think people can speak of their own experience about many things however shouldn't of other people though.
