Spring - 2000. Spiritual pilgrimage to Ireland. I finally make it to the top of Croagh Patrick! County Mayo, Ireland
Croagh Patrick, "The Reek" - older names Cruachán Aigle or Cruach Aigle. County Mayo, Ireland
Climbing Cruachán Aigle / Croagh Patrick, "The Reek", was an experience I shall never forget. I didn't climb for a saint. I climbed to connect to the Land, to the Old Gods, and for myself. #Ireland #CroaghPatrick #Ancestors
It was lovely to meet @ronanhession.bsky.social at the #YorkLiteraryFestival talk tonight. Still convinced the mountain in #GhostMountain is #CroaghPatrick though! 😁
#SkyArts Fascinating to watch the development of Kim Day’s ideas for her #CroaghPatrick commission #NationalGalleryIreland and the magic of the reveal of the stunning final piece 🖼 #LAOTY #KimDay
Things could have been a lot different if she hadn’t came on the scene

Croagh Patrick mirrored beautifully on the still waters of Clew Bay - a little flavour of Mayo Magic from Westport Harbour. ✨🏔️ #CroaghPatrick #ClewBay #Westport #WildAtlanticWay

To mark #EarthDay2025, #CroaghPatrick bathed in setting sun during those glorious days of early April, as I travelled the southern shore of Clew Bay, Co #Mayo. On top, the white-washed, St Patrick’s Oratory. In the Bay, the eroding drumlins, with the Nephin Begs as background, complete the picture.
Here's a wee poem I created in a moment of awe at the top of Croagh Patrick.

The wonders a nice walk to the Royal Tenenbaum's soundtrack can do #wesanderson #walk #croaghpatrick #mayo
Lord, give our bodies restful sleep;
and let the work we have done today
be sown for an eternal harvest.
Through #Christ our Lord, Amen.
The Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. Amen.

Photo I took in 2000 of the approach to Croagh Patrick, "The Reek", in Ireland. Located in County Mayo. At it's peek, it reaches a height of 764 m (2,507 ft). Pilgrims *before* Christianity made pilgrimages here, and still do to this very day.
THIS! This is the moment I knew I was in for the hardest physical event, other than giving birth, that I had ever attempted. Photo I took in 2000 at the actual base of Croagh Patrick, "The Reek", in Ireland. Located in County Mayo. At it's peek, it reaches a height of 764 m (2,507 ft). Pilgrims *before* Christianity made pilgrimages here, and still do to this very day.
Yes, I was quite proud of myself that I made it. Photo on top of Croagh Patrick, "The Reek", in Ireland. Located in County Mayo. At it's peek, it reaches a height of 764 m (2,507 ft). Pilgrims *before* Christianity made pilgrimages here, and still do to this very day.

The hardest physical journey (other than childbirth) I have ever undertaken was climbing The Reek (Croagh Patrick) in Ireland. It was in 2000. I can't imagine making the climb now, yet people far older than I still do. See ALT for descriptions (1 of 3) #FolkWitch #WitchSky #Ireland #CroaghPatrick
