Tobar Gobnait (Saint Gobnait’s Well), Dún Chaoin, Ciarraí. A holy well enclosed in a circle of stones on a hillside above the cliffs, looking west on the Atlantic Ocean and the Blasket Islands. The afternoon sun is low in the sky over An Blascaod Mór (Great Blasket Island), but much higher than it was at the same time on Christmas Day, there being a grand stretch in the evening now. There are clouds on the horizon (not the menacing type though), with a clear blue sky above them.
Where I go to get my head and my heart right, and to make prayers for healing and biodiversity. #Gobnait #HolyWells

Photo of water flowing into a well; "In almost every parish there was a holy well, and on All Souls' Day old women generally washed their eyes in the waters, so that their eyesight might retain its strength." - from Folk-Lore and Folk-Stories of Wales by Marie Trevelyan (1909) #november #allsoulsday #wales #holywells #wales #eyes

Worship of holy wells and springs was banned during the reformation, but the treacle well at Binsey was restored by Revd. Thomas Jones Prout in 1874

Legend has it that the holy well at Southam was created by St Fremund.
After a battle in 869 in which he was beheaded, Fremund carried his head to Southam, stuck his sword in the ground and prayed. Water gushed out. After washing himself in the water, the saint died.

Had a look at St Patrick's Well (Church Well) in Heysham. Realised it's in this little book I once ordered from Glastonbury. It shows a lot of springs near me, considering. #holywells #sacredsprings #dontdrinkthatwater #toolate

A passage leads to a Holy Well dedicated to St. Brigid. Various offerings and ex-votoes line the walls leading to the well's pool.

I'm going to share a story that brought me great joy and if you haven't heard it it might bring you some mirth this cold evening. It's about the patron saint of atheists.

I can't take a trip to Dún Chaoin, Co Kerry without visiting the holy well of St Gobnait; bee patroness.
Offering coins of gratitude & drinking its water offers a cure for toothache & sore bones.
Note: A warm filter was added here. It was far from warm pre-9am, West Kerry!

Manchan Magan will, I confidently predict, be a national treasure in Ireland one day. Make that National Treasure. This is from his book, Listen to the Land Speak. Looking through some recent calligraphy this morning, i found the original. #calligraphy #manchanmagan #holywells
