What does "Ommadawn" mean?

Ommadawn is a phonetic spelling of Amadan (with an accent or "Fada" over the last 'a', to give the long 'a' in the "aw" sound), the Irish/Gaelic word for "idiot" or "fool". The amadan are Irish fairie fools. They should be avoided as, if touched by one, the victim will be paralysed down the side touched, possibly forever.

Thus the amadan is sometimes called the stroke lad. He may strike whomever he fancies, but criminals and those who linger by fairie haunts under moonlight are especially vulnerable, and is particularly active during the month of June. The only protection against him is to call upon God.

Amadan Mor and Amadan na Bruidne are the best known. It was Clodagh Simonds who wrote the words she would chant on the album. Obviously she had to make up some words quickly and the first thing that came into her head was: "The cat is in the kitchen, drinking milk.

I am the idiot singing." When Mike saw or heard what she had sung he was curious about that word written as Ommadawn and ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
