Brighid's Spring at Circle Sanctuary
Brighid's Spring at Circle Sanctuary submitted by ghostlly : My wife and daughter at Brighid's Spring. A lovely artesian spring with a sand bottom used as a modern day healing spring at a pagan nature sanctuary. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Mosern Sacred Spring in Great Lakes Midwest. Part of the Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve which was created as a ceremonial site in 1983 so is not an ancient site as such but is used for healing purposes by visitors. Healing ribbons hang from grapevine hoops around Brigid's Spring, which has year-round bubbling Waters, is dedicated to the Healing Goddess Brigid, who has been known by many names across cultures and religions, such as Brighid, Bride, Brigit, St. Bridgit, St. Ffraid, and Brigandu.

During a group healing ritual, participants form a circle around the Spring. A healing hoop is passed clockwise around the circle, and participants attach healing ribbons as they focus on the healing request represented by each ribbon. At the culmination of the ritual, the hoop with all its ribbons is held over the center of the Spring, dipped into the Water, and then hung on the Willow tree branch above.

More details of the rituals that take place are here: http://www.circlesanctuary.org/circle/articles/sacredsites/BrighidsSpring.html

Thank-you Ghostlly, it's always interesting to hear of modern sites like the Circle Sanctuary which are actively and openly used. The Healing Ritual at the spring with the ribbons sounds lovely.
