Summer Solstice Sunday 21 June 3pm
The wonderful sharing 'in person' and 'in spirit' this Sunday created a magical memorable day. Touching the earth, eating strawberries and 'being' together was a great summer blessing. Thank you all beings and thank you Tara.
...and wishing all those in the southern hemisphere a wonderful Winter Solstice...
The Ancient Ones say that One Day when the World needs it most, the Sacred Fire will come Home to the People at the Top of the World.For thousands of years the people in the North fueled their fires with the oil from the animal world. Animals gave their lives so that people would have light and warmth. Now the climate is changing and the trees are standing tall.
Magical streaks of light, smoke and prayers speed into the world of spirit with our healing thoughts and intentions bringing them to the top of the world to melt the ice in the hearts of man
May the flame of our hearts,
Ignited by our love,
Rise into the night,
Encompassing all we see, touch, hear, smell and taste.

We have hatched - fledgling tweets are coming from bundles of feathers, open mouthed and begging for food, in the nest....
The Lia Fáil joins in the Gathering of the Ancestors tour of the Hill - 18 April 2009
did the Lia Fail show two faces as we connected to the Ancestors? we leave you to decide...
Inviting the ancestors back to be healed of ancient sorrows

Multicultural gatherings were held around the world, linking in to the main ceremonies in Northern Arizona between 18 and 28 April.
At the heart of the American sharings was the 4th reunion of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders and Spiritual Guides of the Americas.
The intention was to unite and share the invited wisdom keeper's visions and prophesized ceremonies for peace and harmony for Mother Earth and all humanity.

We were inspired to hold this ceremony/ritual meditation in the beautiful forest setting of Mullaghmeen (mullach mín, smooth summit). On a sunny day recently we were led to a site deep in the wood where there was a small hillock set like a navel in the forest.... silence, the aroma of pine in the air and a profound sense of tranquillity, moss covered logs, stones, trees and ferns......more
Imbolc
Invoking creative flow
This Imbolc we will be invoking the energy of creativity to flow within the earth grid. We pray that this energy will bring creative solutions to many of the situations we face on the planet at this time. Problems can not be solved by the same level of mentality that created them, therefore creativity is invoked. We are all creative spiritual beings whose purpose it is to co-create the next best version of the world......more

Autumn Equinox Harvest Thanks giving
Harvest Abundance
Equinox is the end of the Celtic year when day and night are experienced in equal measure, a time to take a deep breath before diving into the darkness of winter. It is a time for considering the polarities in life such as; light and dark, poverty and abundance, living and dying, lofty ideals and grounding reality. Even the trees, who all summer moved sap up into the leaves, change, and start to pump it down into their roots... more
Lughnasadh
The coming of Lugh
One can see how the story of Lughs arrival reflects the wisdom of building inner resources and cunning to tackle “that which no longer serves us”. It is the struggle for freedom and justice. It is about facing our inner Fomorian demons with our mastery of life. And about asking for help even though we may be multi skilled... more
Summer Solstice
Golden heart healing
With our hearts gently open we built a heart shaped mandala of fresh flower petals and then destroyed it to release the creative energy into the environment, dispersing the petals into the stream... more

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence
