The Stones Speak: The Brugh na Bóinne

Greater Mysteries drew to its hallowed shrines neophytes from the West as well as from the East, … [and the Otherworld] seeing sons still watch and wait for the re-lighting of the Fires and the restoration of the old Druidic Mysteries.”

W.Y Evans Wentz, The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries

The Brugh na Bóinne

“O nobles of Breg, a might that is not deceitful, with featful points (royal is the road): know ye the story of every lord
that is here in the Brugh of the Mac ind Oic?”

“Behold the fairy mound before your eyes:
it is plain for you to see, it is a king’s dwelling,
it was built by the harsh Dagda :
it was shelter, it was a keep renowned for strength.”

(Metrical Dindshenchas, Edward Gwynn)
