A Circle of Stones: Journeys and Meditations for Modern Celts - Erynn Rowan Laurie 1995

The Spear of Lugh

Lugh's spear is unassailable assurance of victory, for none can stand against its might. With this Treasure wielded on our behalf, we progress on our journey unhindered by dangers from the spiritual realm.

Agus Lugh caomh-gheal, cro-gheal, cra-gheal,

Ga do dhiona, ga do chaomhna, ga do charamh

Le treuin a laimhe, le nimh a ghaise,

Fo sgaile drilleanach a sgeith.

(Scottish Gaelic source: Carmichael, Alexander, Carmina Gadelica, vol I, Scottish Academic Press, Edinburgh 1972. Original reference was to the Archangel Michael.)

And may Lugh kind-white, strong-white, red-white

Preserve thee, protect thee, provide for thee,

With the might of his hand, with the point of his spear,

Under the shade of his shimmering shield.

AH-gus Loo KOOV-yal, KROH-yal, KRAW-yal,

ga do YEE-ana, ga do KOOV-na, ga do KAR-uv

le train a LAW-va, le niv a GAH-sha,

foh SGOL-la DRILL-a-nawk a sgay.
