Loughareema, The Fairy Lough Now you see it ….. Loughareema, near Ballycastle, is known as the vanishing lake. Its name is from the Irish Loc an Rith Amach, or The Lake that Runs Out. There’s an oddity in the geolo…

Echtra Nerai – An Irish Myth for Samhain Night (Part of the Ulster cycle of myths, this is also known as the Táin Bó Aingen.) It was Samhain night when the warriors of Cruachan gathered in the great hall to feast. King Aillil challenged his men…

Officially St Patrick's Chair and Well (the well is a bullaun stone, which is a bit of a scramble down from the seat) this is known to many as The Druid's Chair. It's in Altadevan glen near the town of Augher in Fermanagh.

St Cooey's Wells in Tara bay, down the Ards peninsula near Portaferry - good for pilgrims w eye problems. There are 3 wells, one for washing hands, one for bathing eyes & a third for drinking from.
Prayers & offerings are left at this site, & the adjacent rag tree.

It is! The landscape there is very rugged and even though most of the stones are small, there are many circles and cairns in the complex - it's a fantastic place to wander around 😀

What better way to mark 1K followers than with the time I met the largest moth in Europe…

A retouched pic of Olivia Robertson, co-founder of The Fellowship of Isis. Olivia was larger than life, a leading light in Goddess spirituality & an influence on 3 generations of OBOD leaders.
Here's an article I wrote ages back summarising her links with OBOD: druidry.org/resources/ol...

One for the OBODies - Nuinn in colour.

I'm not great with the aul computer art, so it would be great if someone did a properly professional job of colourising the old pics of Nuinn - I just thought it might be nice to have an updated view of him.

Cats are solar-powered, and I have never seen any creature as content as a stinky old tomcat basking in a ray of sunlight. May we all live to know such happiness.

Thank-you ☺️

My Fool is not dressed in motley, nor cavorting near a cliff edge. The dangers a poor Fool faces in emerging into the world these days are more complex.
If you had the option of living off-grid in the woods, would you come out of hiding & return to the world again? Or do the woods hold zero appeal?

Sounds exactly like the conversation in my work canteen.
Some of it is undoubtedly propaganda and bots, but some of it is genuine public opinion.
We need to inoculate people against propaganda by winning the arguments, by showing them how stale, flatulent and wrong the old bigotries are.

I googled relational disobedience and found your bylines article - sitting with it now. Fracturing, despair and judgement seem everywhere - so relieved to find someone who think principle and connection can co-exist.

The image features a large oak tree, likely a Red Oak (Quercus rubra), standing prominently in a field. The sun shines brightly through its leafy canopy, illuminating the scene.

"Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing." (John Stuart Mill) 🔶️

The real Judgement isn't a God from above marking our lives like homework we have handed in - it comes in those moments of clarity when we perceive our own true natures.

Goddess, Saint and Loa - do not forget Maman Brigitte, that aspect of Brighid who accompanied the indentured servants who were transported and laboured alongside the enslaved people from Africa. Through syncretism, she entered the Vodou pantheon and is the wife of Baron Samedi.

I was feeling mischevious when I made this, but think - The Devil in tarot is a fabulous symbol of our addiction to worldly matters, with its chained humans. And what is more addictive than a smartphone? My humans aren't shackled, but they aren't leaving any time soon. #tarot

Second Harvest, Survival Harvest Why modern Pagans often overlook the autumn Equinox – even though it is more relevant than ever! Many people, once they have celebrated Lughnasadh or Lammas, find themselves thinking straight…

Why do so many Pagans & Druids neglect the Autumn Equinox (aka Alban Elfed or Cónocht an Fomhair)? Once Lughnasadh is over, many find their thoughts go straight to Samhain. But the second harvest was the make-or-break survival time for our ancestors.
