Ik nodig je uit om samen met mij te reizen op de klanken van het Keltische lied en de helende werking van deze oude melodieën in jezelf te ervaren. Het Keltische lied, in het Gaelic Gutha [koe-ga] genoemd, opent je hart en verbindt je opnieuw met je ziel. De Gutha – te vertalen als “levensadem” (breath of Life) – zal je telkens opnieuw terugbrengen naar jezelf.
Iedere maandagavond van 20.00 – 20.30 uur.
Er zijn geen kosten aan verbonden. Donaties worden in dank aanvaard (klik hier voor info). Je hebt geen zangervaring nodig en je mag ook gewoon eens komen kijken en luisteren. Kijk hier voor meer informatie. Stuur mij een bericht als je mee wilt doen, dan ontvang je de link voor de zoom-room: welkom@hetzwannennest.com

Marcanna Naofa - introduction to a spiritual path connecting you with your inner wisdom (Zoom, English spoken)
2026-03-17 20:00 - 22:00
This evening I will present, together with 3 of my companions, an introduction to the Marcanna Naofa. The Marcanna Naofa are 18 symbols which can be worked with as 18 teachers guiding us into ourselves. Therefore they are a spiritual path connecting you with your inner wisdom.
There are many old symbols and alphabets, predominantly used as oracles these days. You may have heard of them or you may have tried to answer a significant question with the runes, i-ching, futhark or any other symbols. These symbols, dating from times long past, are each holding their own wisdom and magic and can be used in many different ways. Their meaning has often been handed down through books and other scriptures.
The Marcanna Naofa are connected to the old Irish alphabet but are much older than that. They have been handed down orally through a path of initiation. To become familiar with their meaning they have to be experienced by drawing them, “dancing” them and allowing the sacred symbols to extract their meaning out of YOU. These sacred symbols – called Marcanna Naofa in the Irish language – will teach you by extracting the wisdom lying dormant in YOU. They cannot be learned from a book nor by someone else telling you what they mean. Therefore they are a spiritual path in themselves, a very practical path to continue your walk through this life with growing consciousness, to live a soul-led life rather than an ego driven life. The Marcanna Naofa are a strong medicine for all those choosing a soul-led life. The Marcanna Naofa will walk you back home to YOU. This might not be in line with old belief patterns or ego preferences, but it will definitely open the door to joy and fulfilment in your life. The more you allow these ancient symbols to inspire your life, the more clarity you will get about this journey called life.
If you are interested, please send me an e-mail at welkom@hetzwanennest.com and I will send you the zoom-link.
With gratefulness to our dear FiléDia Anam-aíre who has handed the Marcanna Naofa down to us.
Please note: The time zone is Amsterdam time!
