I was doing some meditation last night while my daughter was falling asleep and I had the following experience/vision:
I was aware that my spirit was descending to the area in South Ireland, near the shore. Once I was sure where I was at on the map I looked down and I was not wearing shoes. My legs and feet were bare and my skin was black. I got the impression I was part of a tribe or something like that. I was standing on a soft dark dirt path and around me was lush forest. There were ferns low to the ground and a canopy of trees...not tropical trees or jungle trees, but forest trees. I got the sensation I was trying to escape something. I was either running or hiding or looking for a place to hide. I had a panicked sensation that was actually manifesting itself.
I brought myself out of meditation.
I thought this seemed a little strange, African person in Ireland...then I did a quick internet search and found out there is a population of black people who used to live in southern Ireland called TWA. These people are the basis of the fabled leprechauns in the St. Patrick story.
The Leprechaun was thought to be a type of fairy who dressed in a green or red coat and worked as a shoemaker. These Leprechauns would save their earnings, in the form of gold coins, in a pot and the end of a rainbow. It was thought that if you could capture one of them that they would grant you three wishes. The name “Leprechaun” comes from the Old Irish luchorpán, a compound of the roots lú (small) and corp (body).
It turns out that the Leprechauns of legend were actually people from Africa known as the Twa. These Twa were diminutive men and women (luchorpán) that grew to a height of about 4’11?. They migrated into Ireland many thousands of years ago. The Twa were craftsman and had advanced knowledge of medicine, metallurgy, textile and clothing manufacturing and apparently shoe-making, which Caucasians thought was “magical”. So we find that it was the Twa people that have come to be known as Leprechauns.
In the book “Ancient and Modern Britons by David MacRitchie” it is stated: “That the wild tribes of Ireland were black men is hinted by the fact that “a wild Irishman” is in Gaelic “a black Irishman” (Dubh Eireannach)”. The word “Dubh” in Gaelic is “Black”.
It is the Twa that St. Patrick “chased out of Ireland”. The story of the holiday is actually a veiled attempt to cover up genocide, as St. Patrick lead the charge to hunt these men and women down to kill them.
