What is the Irish word for spirit?
Spiorad Naomh (pronounced Sprid Nayv)
AnswerMore appropriately, according to Celtic Christian tradition, the term would be An Fiáin Gé; The Wild Goose, the symbol used by them for the Holy Spirit.The wild goose embodies the untamable and unpredictable nature of the Spirit and is a reminder that the Spirit is disturber as well as comforter. It is a symbol for the Holy Spirit used by the Celtic peoples of Ireland and Scotland.
For instance, did you know that geese in formation can fly much faster and farther than they do individually? Wild geese are regarded as disturbing nuisances by some, creating noise at moments that are often inconvenient, even pests to be shot. And at another level they convey a sense of foolishness which is how God's upside-down kingdom values appear to the world. While their gait is awkward, in flight the wild goose displays grace and beauty. He exemplifies an outrageous wildness as his great wings beat with exceptional power implying the capacity to achieve the apparently impossible.
Put all this together and the wild goose image resonates deeply within us. We believe that the God of the Bible is wild and free, safe but not tame, unfathomable, uncontainable, unpredictable, and yet able to be known intimately.
