"AND now I, Derek Nally, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren, concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken."'
ALASTAIR FOLEY'S PRAYER
"HE IS LORD! HE IS LORD! HE MANAGES HAM SANDWICH AND HE IS LORD! EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW! EVERY TONGUE CONFESS...THAT DEREK NALLY IS LORD!"
Nallyism is the worship of Derek Nally. The religion was founded by Alastair Foley, star of the Academy Award winning motion picture Once. Foley has erected an altar to Nally in Whelan's of Wexford Street and presides over a service every morning at 6am where Nally devotees come to meditate and listen to Ham Sandwich. John Hennessy is also a High Priest of Nallyism. When Christof in the Village saw this webpage, he remarked to Foley, "You must really love him." Foley then began to chant, "Sanctus Sanctus Nallyuuuusss".
A delighted Derek Nally was coronated the Messiah by Foley on the same day that Barack Obama was elected 44th President of the United States. "Sanctus Sanctus Nallyuuss."
The origins of the Nallyism world-view are notoriously difficult to confirm, it seems even at the very genesis of this phenomenon, an other-worldly, enigmatic aura loomed large. Some say it goes as far back as the timeless fable "Lauraeagues & The Future Days Festivale" where the celebrated Indie-Rock Warrior Lauragues, fearlessly led his loyal troops into Moldavia and Transylvania to challenge The Might Of Nally and his Amassed Armies to liberate the masses from the tyranny of the Musical Philosophies 'Crass-Pop' & 'Whinge-Songslayer'.
But as we all know, this was to prove to be but a battle won, not a war. Nallyism has continued to evolve and thrive through the ages. An Extra-Sensory, some would say even 'Superhero' mentality devoted to Radical Art and it's furtherance in society, "Nallyism" allows the understanding, the emotional impact, the empathy of all Art to be profoundly consumed without having even interacted in any manner with it. Nallyism is truly at the pinnacle of the higher evolution of Homo Erectus.
Recently, Nallyism has been introduced into the psychology of Sport to assist High Performance Athletes in achieving increased success in competitive sport. Nallyism is now an Official 'Visualisation' Aid to world football governing bodies FIFA and UEFA.
A recent survey on Wexford Street, Dublin ( the home of Nallyism ) showed that Nallyism is now within 7.5% of 'Jedi' in people's preferred Aspiring Modern Religious Denominations, a truly staggering growth within 12 months. According to Nostradamus, the Year 2009 see's " .... as the Nalyist grows, a new world order bringeth .... ", a surely definitive sign that next year is indeed the Year Of The Nally. Old Tibetan scriptures also make frequent reference to 'Naleeism' and it's purpose in the beginning years of the 21st Century in bringing a higher civilisation to power.
The real adventure of "Nallyism", is truly only beginning.
