In Old Irish, Imbas imeans "inspiration," and specifically refers to the sacred poetic inspiration believed to be possessed by the fili (Old Irish: inspired, visionary poets) in Early Ireland. Forosnai means "illuminated" or "that which illuminates". Descriptions of the practices associated with Imbas forosnai are found in Cormac's Glossary and in the mythology associated with the hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. In the Táin Bó Cúailgne, the woman poet Fedelm uses her imbas forosnai to predict the outcome of a battle. Imbas forosnai involved the practitioner engaging in sensory deprivation techniques in order to enter a trance and receive answers or prophecy.

Imbas forosnai involved the practitioner engaging in sensory deprivation techniques in order to enter a trance and receive answers or prophecy. In the Celtic traditions, poetry has always served as a primary conveyance of spiritual truth. Celtic texts differentiate between normal poetry, which is only a matter of learned skill, and "inspired" poetry, which is seen as a gift from the gods. Some Celtic Reconstructionists are involved in the revival of the practices connected with Imbas forosnai. (en)

- L’Imbas forosnai, dans la mythologie celtique irlandaise, est une réservée aux filid (druides) les plus élevés dans la hiérarchie druidique, les Ollamh. Ce rituel est décrit dans plusieurs textes mythiques, dont le Glossaire de Cormac et La Razzia des vaches de Cooley (Táin Bó Cúailnge). Selon Christian-J. Guyonvarc'h, l’expression signifie « grande science qui illumine ». Le file mastique un morceau de viande rouge qu’il place ensuite sur une pierre en offrande aux dieux, puis il fait une incantation. Le lendemain, il doit refaire deux incantations, il place les paumes de ses mains sur ses joues et reste ainsi jusqu’à ce qu’il s’endorme. Dans le cas de La Razzia des vaches de Cooley, l’opération n’est décrite que dans la version du Lebor na hUidre et prend la forme d’une prophétie. Medb, la reine du Connaught, se prépare à envahir l’Ulster quand elle rencontre une femme qui dit s’appeler Fedelm et venir d’Écosse, où elle a appris la « science des filid ». La reine, s’étant assuré que la femme connaît la science des illuminations, l’interroge sur l’issue de son aventure militaire. À trois reprises, Fedelm lui prédit la défaite, mais Medb refuse de croire la prophétie. La pratique de l’Imbas forosnai aurait été interdite par saint Patrick lui-même. (fr)
