410 CE - Honorius Thrusts Britain Back into Independence

by Iain MacAnTsaoir

For a little over three and a half centuries, Rome had counted Britain as an asset. However, for better than a century, Rome had been disintegrating bit by bit. At this time, Rome officially withdrew from Britain, and also began pulling out of Gaul. With the withdrawal of Rome, Britain was left to defend herself. Though in actuality, she had been doing so in an ever increasing amount for decades prior to this date.

'Clannada na Gadelica' is a registered trademark of the Clannada na Gadelica. The following specific definitional phraseologies are Service Marked (SM) for the exclusive use of Clannada na Gadelica:

Gaelic Traditionalism, Gaelic Traditionalist, Diasporal Gaelic Traditionalism, Diasporal Gaelic Traditionalist, Diasporan Gaelic Traditionalism, Diasporan Gaelic Traditionalist, GT, Traditional Gaelic Polytheism, Gaelic Traditional Polytheism, Gaelic Cultural Tradition, Gaelic Cultural Traditions, Hearthlands, GCT

are ALL as of today Service Marked Clannada na Gadelica.

A service mark is "any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce, to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from services provided by others, and to indicate the source of the services."

Since the early 1980s privately, and since 1993 publicly, Clannada na Gadelica, and ONLY Clannada na Gadelica, have used this terminology, (and more terminology which we are also Service Marking), as specific definitional phraseologies to explicate and expound upon the Gaelic Cultural Traditions of the Gaelic Hearthlands. Clannada na Gadelica have provided this original work and original service exclusively, and can documentably prove we were are the originators of the modern re-employment in the Diaspora of this terminology. We specifically do NOT grant permission to use this terminology to any other entity or individuals.

I am Service Marking this work because Kathryn Price a.k.a Kathryn nic Dhana, and the Celtic Reconstructionist identity thieves, and now other neo-pagans, as well as now a Canadian on-line t-shirt company, have been poaching this terminology and trying to crassly commercialize it.

Enough is enough. Clannada coined it and if it takes registering it as a commercial service mark to protect it, then, so be it, and I'll take the inevitable ass-whipping from the authentic Tradition Bearers in the Hearthlands for it. When and if authentic cultural entities in the Hearthlands want to assume the mark for themselves, I'll release it to them. Until then, this is the line.
