The old Celtic saying goes, in Gaelic, dysgogan derwydon meint a deruyd, (druids foretell all that will happen). The wren was a bird in Celtic myth that spoke to the soothsayers. The word wren in Gaelic is similar to the word for druid, possibly where the druids are thought to come from. In this work we see the wren in his currach traveling into the cosmos seeing the future.
