Flitter invocation: "Gow shoh as bannee orrin"
There is a old Manx tradition for Good Friday (Jeheiney Caisht), of going to the shore and gathering flitters fresh from the rocks. These are then cooked in their shells there on the beach and eaten, without metal being used at all in any of the process.
Additionally, a Manx Gaelic invocation was also recorded, for when the shells were throw back into the sea:
"Gow shoh as bannee orrin"
/
"Take this and bless us"
The Flitter Dance was then said to have been danced over the embers of the fire.
More about this Manx tradition tradition (said to reach back to beliefs pre-existing Christianity on the Isle of Man) can be found here:
