ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्॥

Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swaha Aum Tadpurushaaya Vidvamahe, Mahadevaaya Dheemahi Tanno Rudra Prachodayaat

Aum. Let us invoke the three realms of earth (-bhur), wind (-bhuvah) and fire (-swaha). Aum. Let us invoke the superlative (-tad) male (-purusha) and omniscient lord (-vidvamahe). Let us meditate and focus upon (-dheemahi) the supreme (-maha) lord (-devaaya). Let us ask Shiva (-rudra) to provide us inspiration and guidance (-prachodayaat) in our spiritual journeys.

[GAEILGE] "Bí grá agat do d'óige." Mise: "Ceart go leor ach nuair mise fearr meánaosta beidh mé an staic is fearr timpeall ar dhomhain agus…" [BÉARLA] "Cherish your youth." Me: "Okay but when I'm a middle-aged man I am going to be the coolest, hottest guy around so…"

[robynshellhole]

Why does my Irish accent (accent while speaking Irish, to clarify) sound like a rambling middle-aged man from Cois Fharraige, specifically while half-drunk rambling in the pub?

I know that I am literally rambling to myself, but I shouldn't sound like a middle-aged, maybe slightly older, man?

[agrotech123]

Mantras relate to the repeated chanting of auspicious lines or words to overcome the problems.

Mantras are the basis of entire texts of all vedic scriptures and books and are considered a powerful medium that invokes feelings of spiritualism in a person.

Happy 28th! <3 Here's my favorite fics I read this month, organized from longest to shortest. Fics with a * before them found their way into my bookmarks!

*May You Enjoy Your New Life by aimmyarrowshigh (E, 264k)

When One Direction begins, Harry Styles is a sixteen-year-old boy floundering under the pressure of impending fatherhood. His ability to balance the sobering responsibility of caring for his tiny daughter, Millie, and the exhilaration of seeing his own dreams coming to fruition affects not only his future, but those of Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Louis, who never expected fealty to be the key to their success. But Liam is the first to show him how to grow up without growing old, and Zayn is the first to defend from the public what is private and precious. Louis -- Louis is the first for a lot of things; for most of the moments of Millie's life and for the moments of Harry's that matter. And Niall is the first to toast when Millie is born: Go maire sibh bhur saol nua -- 'may you enjoy your new life.'

*Give Me Truths by iwillpaintasongforlou (E, 110.3k)

Louis is a psychology student with a tattoo count as high as his genius IQ. Harry is in a (sort-of) relationship with a homophobic man and hates himself a little more every day. Things fall apart and Louis puts him back together.

Or, the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.

*Southern Gothic by Itsmotivatingcara (E, 100.4k)

Harry Styles is a part time conman and a full-time antiques dealer, who prides himself on his work ethic, his keen eye and his penchant for clairvoyance. He's traveled the world in search of missing pieces, some likely best left buried. He's a keeper of secrets, with a knack for under-the-table dealings. But not all secrets remain hidden.

The South Strangler made his debut in Defiance, before collecting unsuspecting victims along the southern states. FBI agents Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne have been dogging his steps for the past few years, and have been led back to where it all began.

A healthy dose of clairvoyance and a heaping pile of skepticism finds Harry and Louis at an impasse. It just so happens to pair well with steaming attraction.

you are my destiny (you are the reason that i still believe) by alwaysxlarrie (M, 98k)

Being a new employee at a company means that you have to learn to brush off the shitty bosses, shitty coworkers, and not getting the credit you actually deserve for things. At least, that's been Harry Styles' experience. Coworkers who steal his ideas in pursuit of getting praise and a raise, and a boss who's indifferent at best and condescending at worst. Harry has learned to expect this reality for the foreseeable future. He's accepted it.

What he hadn't expected was for Louis Tomlinson to waltz into their company, and his life, and change around everything he thought he knew about fate.

*Ghost Note Symphony by whoknows (E, 96.4k)

Louis is on tour when he first hears about it. It’s all over the news – Harry Styles Attacked By Fan runs in headlines for days. It’s not even just the gossip rags, either. Actual journalists are covering the story. It would have been impossible to avoid hearing about it. Technically, Oli is the one who tells Louis about it, but it’s not exactly being covered up. Harry doesn’t answer Louis’ text asking if he’s alright, but that’s not really surprising. They haven’t spoken for months, and it’s been a lot longer than that since they’ve had a real conversation. The sting of the text going unanswered is still there, less painful than it might have been a few years ago.

It’s not that it’s easy to forget about, exactly. Louis has a whole life outside of One Direction now, though. So Louis goes on with his life, figuring that if Harry was seriously hurt he would have heard about it by now. He might currently be in the same country as Harry, but being on opposite sides of it puts enough distance between them that putting it in the back of his mind is easy. There’s nothing Louis could do, even if he thought Harry might want him to.

That’s why everything that happens next comes as a complete shock to him.

Secrets in Winter by softfonds (E, 82.5k)

If Harry Styles thought he was going to have a peaceful winter while staying far away from the rake who lived across the street, he was sorely wrong on two fronts. A Victorian AU.

Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes by starryhaze (NR, 82.2k)

A 70s tennis au filled with skirts, pet names and intrigue.

*Allegiance to your burning heart by driveinbingo (E, 82k)

In the ten years since he last saw his ex-boyfriend, Harry has become very rich and very famous and everything's just great, thank you very much. He definitely doesn't even think about Louis anymore. And he's certainly not going to let a ghost from his past haunt him as he embarks on the biggest tour of his career.

Except Louis always did find a way to crawl underneath his skin, didn't he?

sent by the sun by etherealbliss (E, 51.3k)

In 1970s Los Angeles, Harry is a groupie who aches to feel alive. Louis is the lead singer of a rock band who aches to know him.

Went Down In Flames by hazzahtomlinson (E, 26.6k)

Louis was in an absolutely shit storm. He had let it go on for too long. Let it go too far. But he had a plan. And tonight, said plan was going down. He was going to tell the boys he was proposing this weekend. ‘Harry’ would turn him down, albeit gently, and Louis would play the heartbroken boyfriend. He’d gotten this far. All he had to do was lock himself in his bedroom and cry a little. He’d been in a few plays growing up. Piece of cake.

Except. It didn’t go that way. Of course, it didn’t. Because the universe, the beautiful chaotic bitch that she was, just had to have an actual Harry Styles and he just had to be Niall’s best friend.

Checking Them Out?: How To Use Your Library Science Degree To Get an Alpha by InsightfulInsomniac (E, 19.9k)

When a flirty, attractive alpha patron checks out an entire shelf of literature on omega behavior and omega rights, Harry can’t help but wonder why the man is so interested — is he a really attentive partner, or is he just a creep?

It doesn’t help that this alpha visits weekly to exchange his books… and that he smells absolutely divine.

Whether he likes it or not, Harry has a crush.

The Checkout by SilverStuff50 (E, 12.2k)

Omega Harry is a bit obsessed with one of the workers at the small supermarket around the corner from his flat. The problem is, it's the place where Harry goes for last minute items and emergencies, so the Alpha (Louis) always sees him buy embarrassing things.

Irish Grammar Lesson! Ceachta Gaeilge Grammadaí! Urú or eclipses

The urú is the unofficial partner of the séimhiú, seeing as they both add a letter to the beggining of a word.

When adding an urú, you add one (and with one case two) letters before the first letter.

Each letter which takes an urú takes a different letter. The letters which take an urú ar b, c, d, t, g, p, and f. After the urú, they become mb, gc, nd, dt, ng, bp, bhf.

The way I remember them is a mnemonic I was taught in secondary school which goes, My Brother, Got Caught, Not Doing, Dishes Tonight, Nobody Gets, Blueberry Pie, Before He Finishes. The initial of each words tells you what the urú is.

Thanks to @elodylie for letting me know her mnemonic is Many Boys, Go Camping, Near Ditches, BeHind Fences, No Girls, Back Packing, Down There! Each capital is the letters in the urú (note here the urú for f is one word despite being 2 letters which is why the H is also capitalised).

When pronouncing the word with an urú, you skip the original letter, and pronounce it as if the initial letter was replaced by the urú. With the exception of 'ng' which is closer to the ng sound we see in words like running, walking, etc. in English

Note there is a non-urú eclipse on vowels, when eclipsing a vowel (using all the same rules below) you prefix the eclipsed word with 'n-', e.g. ceol na n-éan, though sometimes the n is added to the end of the previous word like the phrase in éirinn

So when do you add an urú?

When talking about possession, all nouns following a plural pronoun (ár, bhur, a - our, your, their) take an urú. e.g. Cat goes to A gCat (their (pl.) cat). (note that when adding an urú to a capitalised noun, you generally keep the original capitalisation while leaving the urú lowercaseas above)

Eclipsion also happens after the preposition i.

When counting objects 7-10, seven boats are seacht mbád, nineteen boats are naoi déag mbáid.

Words following an in the interrogative tense (not when using an as in the word The) as well as words following nach, and go, as well as dá, sula, mura, and cá.

They are also added after genitive plural nouns following 'na' and dative singular nouns following 'an' though these are a little wordy and technical. The video below explains it well but essentially, if you're saying __ an __ where the first gap is a preposition (ar, ag, faoi, etc.) and the second gap is an eclipsable noun, eclipse it.

Note that adjectives are not eclipsed regardless of the rules above.

This video is also good to learn about the urú.

And like with the séimhiú post, don't sweat it! It isn't that big of a deal if you mess up, even if you only remember the possession rule, you won't run into any major issues with the meaning being changed.
