Re: The Spiritual Landscape by beirn on Wednesday, 27 April 2005

As a cetlic polytheist i believe that the inner landscape,(the spiritual one) and the landscape of this physical reality, and the landscape of the "otherworld" ie the realities we cannot usually access, are in harmony with each other, and resonate together.
The landscape of my country calls out to me in a way that no other place can, although visiting sacred places and places that perhaps no-one but I found sacred, I have felt a special pull and a welcoming call.....but nothing literally sings to me like that land of my people.

It is almost a cliche to mention Tara in this context, but like most cliches it is also a truism: Tara radiates an energy that excites and soothes in turn. There more than anywhere, since childhood, have I glimpsed the otherworlds, felt that the inner, outer and other realities were aligned: sometimes in moments fleeting and poignant and at other times as easily as walking through a gateway.

There are other places, there is a little place in a wood in a suburb of dublin, an ancient remnant left among city dwellers that is inexpressibly sacred to me: though to everyone else I doubt they notice it.


Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
