Ancestors, Tarot

After my Ireland Ancestor Quest I had one obvious question: “Now that I have recovered them and successfully fought to keep them – what can I do with them?” Some tarot card readers say that they can’t do reading for themselves very well. I seem to be able to. In fact, my own readings are … Read More “Ancestor energies tarot reading” »

I’m over half way with the telling of this tale of retrieving my ancestor energies. Only three posts to go. Up until now Kal and I have visited our first rath (or ringfort) – Rathcroghan. Feeling a bit peckish we retreated to the visitor centre to get some delicious food, and to obtain some directions … Read More “Ireland 2012: Part 7 – Forging the Sword at Ogulla Holy Well” »

In the previous episodes of my Ireland Ancestor Quest, (Carrowkeel, Kilronan Abbey, Lassair’s Well, Lough Key and Boyle Abbey), I had learned that I would need to fight for the privilege to acquire the ancestor energies of my family. I sort of had to “fight for the right” and the right I would win would … Read More “Ireland 2012 Part 6: Rathcroghan and the Seat of Kings” »

Ireland 2012 Part 5: Boyle Abbey and tracking down Duignan

Boyle Abbey is a sacred place of worship that was gifted to the Cistercians. This order of monks built their abbey over the top of an existing pagan site (if I remember the guide’s introduction properly), and I would suspect that this was actually a druidic college that they built over. For me the abbey … Read More “Ireland 2012 Part 5: Boyle Abbey and tracking down Duignan” »

We couldn’t get into Boyle Abbey before 10am. No-one seems to get up early in Southern Ireland! It was 9am when we arrived there, so I decided to show Kal Lough Key Forest Park which was close by. It might be open and it would be a pleasant walk amongst some trees while we waited … Read More “Ireland 2012 Part 4: Lough Key and the search for the Eel Sword” »
