• Day 9 Part 2: Hill of Uisneach

    May 9–10 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Visited the Hill Of Uisneach the site of the old kings at the center of Ireland where the four kingdoms meet (Ulster, Munster, Connacht & Leinster). This is also the ancient site where the Druid Mur lit the Great Fire and where the Catstone stands (entrance to the fairy realm, I think)

    The Bealtaine Fire Festival was underway and we witnessed ancient arts, animals, storytelling, music and spiritual practices. I got to hold an owl (see pics). The evening was cold, but we bundled up and stayed for the Druid and priestess procession and the lighting of the Bealtaine fires for peace throughout Ireland and celebrating the start of summer. Such a cool experience.
