Shillelagh: Ancient Hibernian Anesthetic
Many are the wonders that Ireland has brought us. St Patrick and poteen, poets and potatoes and, of course that ancient Hibernian anesthetic, the shillelagh.
Alas, 'shillelagh' is nothing but an anglophone corruption of the Irish sail éille, a village of some 600 souls in County Wicklow. There existed at one time the ancient oak forest of Shelela or Shilleley, levelled in early 18th century. Irish Oak, Quercus petraea, was--and in some cases still is--used to make these walking sticks with a weighted head.Welcome to CFP’s Comment Section!
