Legends of Celtic lore of many Irish and Scottish clans having descended from the seal, the Ron.
The cry of the seal is eerie, yet a beautiful feeling of primitive connection to life, reaching a depth of life that can only be born of connecting in the watery depths.
Lying on the magical shores of the Isla Da Druidneach the shifting tides bring forth the watery birth of the seals, of the selchies, of life. One very old creation myth found in the Orkneys speaks of humans being 'sung to life' by the sea goddess, in connection to the mournful sound of the seal's cry in the region. The images started flowing around in my brain and this legend came to life in the first verse of Gateways.
See ya next time for the ideas behind verse two.
