Easter 2009

Hi there

Happy Easter !

which is a special day for Tara  because it was at Tara that St Patrick had his show-down with the Druids -

and he won of course - at least that time

 .... the story of St Patrick's run in with the Druids at Tara at Easter according to Catholic Encyclopedia HERE

but all that is long ago but it is of course one of the reasons why Tara is so important to both Christians and Pagans

a New Calendar

Due to the way things never get pasted up here until the last minute  ,  I thought it might be a good idea to paste up a calendar of upcoming events and dates - especially the ones that come around on the same day every year it is HERE and as usual it is incompletely finished and Im rushing out the door for three weeks but it will get more professional-looking - later this month - hopefully ; )   but as I was pasting it up , I found that someone had already done this , and far more competantly of course These people are local Meath people and I think they are connected with both the Meath Archaeological and Historical Society    and the Meath Peace Group - whose website is HERE   Anyway , here is their website  , Tara Celebrations ,   it isnt a campaign site but about celebrating the sacred aspects of Tara all through the year ,  please check it out because whether you can get to Tara  or not  , it is a beautiful website - informative , from the Heart , and has great pictures too ..lovely !     ... and this looks interesting - Martin Dier is an archaelogist and one way or another it should be a wonderful day 18 April 2009 - Gathering of the Ancestors   2pm guided tour of the Hill led by Martin Dier - meet at the entrance gate 3pm gathering at Rath Grainne with silent meditation and whatever arises spontaneously. Like the fingers of the hand we are all part of the whole.  Throughout time we have lived together – whatever our culture, we should love our traditions, honour and share with others in equality. The times of separation are passed. At this gathering we shall let heart take the lead, acknowledge times past and know that we are the future. We shall listen to the sounds of our surroundings and be with the earth, elements, sun, moon, all beings and ancestors to bring joy to ourselves and to the earth. This gathering is inspired by the 'Return of the Ancestors' events being held in Arizona and around the world between 18 and 28 April. These are meetings of indigenous elders and local communities affirming the interconnectness of all beings through ceremony, sharing wisdom and visiting sacred sites. http://www.earthworksforhumanity.org/pages/ROTA.shtml. from http://www.taracelebrations.org/view/WHATS_ON_CALENDAR/   but  the TBU calendar has things the Tara Celebrations one doesnt have ...or at least it WILL have .. - so please check it out as well , http://www.tarataratara.net/TaraBelfast/TBU_calendar.htm-
