Welcome to the homepage of Clann Eoghanachta. We are a Sinnsreachd Gael (Polytheistic Gaels, following the customs of the ancestors) group, we try to be an extended family to all people within Clann Eoghanachta. Our physical membership is centered around Western Australia, although we do have close friends we consider family members distributed around the world. We are one of the founding Clann's of the An Cónaidhm na Tuatha na nGael, a confederation of Sinnsreachd Clanna and Tuatha.

[Pictish Wolf]

Our mission statement is as follows:

  • Reclaim the language of our Ancestors for our decendants
  • Reclaim the Clanna culture of our Ancestors.
  • Welcome all those that truely have the Gaelic spirit within them into the Clann
  • Live true to our Culture and to our Gods
  • Provide and grow a strong Clann based community for the Sinnsreachd Gael.
  • Revive and recreate the spiritual practices of our Ancestors that have been lost.
  • Provide an alternative to the western ideal of consumerism and self-before-the-family.

Currently Clann Eoghanachta is looking for people that would like to become part of the Clann. If you have the Gaelic spirit in your heart and the brief speil above interests you pleas contact us. It doesn't matter if you have a Gaelic heritage or not, the matter is where your spirit and heart truely leads you.

For those a bit confused about what the Sinnsreachd faith is, it is best to read over the ACTG website linked above, as well as consider it is similiar to Asatru or Theodism that is Gaelic inspired (A not entirely close analogy but for this moment it will have to do).

From the ACTG website briefing:

Sinnsreachd (Scots-Gaelic), or Sinsearacht (Irish Gaelic), is a polytheistic religious movement which is attempting to revive the Gaelic polytheistic religion, including cultural elements, as it existed in Ireland prior to the arrival of Christianity.
Sinnsreachd is a polytheistic religion that bases its core cultural, social, and religious doctrine off of the extant customs and superstitions of rural Ireland and Scotland combined with modern restorations of society, culture, and customary law gleaned through its practitioners research. While external observers may consider Sinnsreachd to be a "neopagan" religion, it s practitioners find that term to be highly offensive.

For those that wish to join Clann Eoghanachta in Western Australia or are just curious, should email Pàdraig MacIain and also join the Tuath mailing list (see the resources section).

* Points to note, we are not Wiccan, we are not neo-pagan, we are not Celtic Reconstructionalists, we are not pan-Celtic. We are polytheistic Gaels that are using the known culture, language and folklore of Ireland and Scotland and bringing it back from the brink. Some things get modernized, most things will stay the same.
