The Night Caller

August 9, 2018March 17, 2019 ~ william a methven ~ Leave a comment

Somebody just asked me if I had ever met St. Patrick. I have. Here's the story: the saint appears in a dream, speaking in several tongues, and confesses the many sins he has committed against the Irish.

Debunking the St Patrick Story

February 27, 2017March 16, 2020 ~ william a methven ~ 2 Comments

My concern about the Patrick Story is that it is much more than a simple harmless myth that allows the Irish to celebrate our identity. I believe it is a very powerful myth loaded with meaning and images that has been created and used to mould how the Irish see themselves and by that allowed others to manipulate and control us.
