Description Although we can be fairly certain, due to it's location, that this name comes from the herring the word 'garbhaig' is also used from club-moss. This was seen used as a lucky-charm protecting anyone who would carry some on their person. Garbhaig an t-sleibh air mo shiubhal, The club-moss is on my person chan eirich dhomh beud no pudhar. No harm or mis-hap can me befall Cha mharbh garmaisg, cha dearg iubhar mi, No sprite shall slay me, no arrow shall wound me cha riab grianuisg no glaislig uidhir mi. no fay nor dun water nymph shall tear me. |
