Wolf O’Clock
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2023 9:30 pmIn case anybody is interested, the Gaelic word for January is 'Am Faoilleach', derived from a very old word 'faol' meaning wild, or ‘faol-chù’ - the wild dog. So to Gaels this is the month of the wolf, when (now locally extinct) wolves would have been particularly active.
