Wow, I haven't posted in a while, so firstly, I'd like to say hello to everyone.:wave:
I really hope that I don't sound stupid as I'm typing this.
I've recently started studying Celtic Mythology a bit more, and I've found myself deeply drawn to the Isle of Man. This is also be because I have a very deep relationship/connection with Manannan Mac Lir. I would like to learn more about the Isle of Man and the religious and spiritual practices/traditions it's people. I've tried searching for sites that are specifically about Manx Witchcraft, but I can't find much.
Does anyone know any sites or other sources of information about it?

i was there years ago, but unfortunately i didn't know about Gerald Gardner's museum at the time. however you might try Googling that and see if anything comes up.

I've tried quite a bit, but I guess I'm not typing in the right things. That's why I've come here to see if anyone has any sources of information (Or words I'm missing - or if there's a tradition that relates to it that has a specific name that I have no clue of.)
Thanks for replying/helping, though. I'll keep fishing.^_^

The Witchcraft Museum moved to Boscastle, Cornwall many years ago.
As far as I can see, the Manks followed broadly the same practices as the other Celtic nations.

There are a few texts on Manx folklore here at the Sacred-Texts.com website (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/index.htm#manx) that might be of interest to you.

I you ever get to Isle of Mann, I do highly recommend you going to the Town of Peel where they have the Museum: House of Mannanan.
They also have Peel Castle, and our Corrin Tower on Corrin's Hill.
If you read over my thread: "Family Ancestral Pilgrimage", you will find the Spiritual Passing On Ritual I did for my Ancestral Cousin Thomas Corrin.
Who knows, you may have a Fascination with the Isle of Mann because you may have been Manx during your previous Lifetime.

BTW: Here is the Manx official Triskelle Symbol, which is the Three Legged Symbol of the Isle of Mann:

I would also suggest reading The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0806525797/sr=8-1/qid=1152836154/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-2906714-3083859?ie=UTF8) by W.Y. Evans-Wentz. This book has some of the best and most complete information out there on the beliefs of the various Celtic speaking tribes.
