Fàilte chridheil dhuibh uile,/ A warm welcome to ye, 

My name is Sylvie Zacrep, and I am what I like to call a student of the cosmos and life with an enduring love for folklore, poetry, song, & the Gaelic. I am a long-time writer & collector of obscure words, and a full-time student at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Scotland’s Gaelic College, studying Scottish Gaelic Language and Culture, and have also completed a summer Irish Language Immersion with the University of Galway in Ireland.

I have studied poetry both outwith and within Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, and after building the courage and skills to do so by studying with poet and musician, Bianca Casady, I published my first full-length collection of poetry, Òran Saoraidh, in 2024.

I can often be found studying Gaelic and energetic phenomena, journeying through the bonnie Celtic lands, sitting with tea ceremonially, practicing Kundalini yoga, and passionately tracing the transmission of mythology and traditional songs through time and space long into the deep, quiet night.

Outside of my studies, I am currently working on my second book of poetry, and tending to a word-hearth on Substack.

You can find more about my writing below.

I am so glad you’re here!

Le gaol, ceòl,/ With love, music,

Sylvie
