“I awaken myself to the greatest lesson Ireland offers: that I must wake up to whatever place I find myself, wake up to its seasons and weather, its heritage and special beauties, its ultimate and indisputable holiness. I have news for you: spring comes everywhere with sweetness and hope. Summer's fullness becomes harvest, then the world sleeps through a dark time. This is the only truth: that just as Ireland is sacred, so all land is sacred, as we are all sacred. This is my news.” MythMythologyIrelandSanctityCeltic MythologyTara Book:The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit Source: The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit
“The American definition of paganism is especially suspect among the Irish, too, when it seems to imply adherence to some British cult. The fact that most of the self-proclaimed "witches" in Ireland are English does not escape comment, and notice is also given to the number of American tourists who traipse through on pilgrimages to these minor celebrities and make no inquires about local beliefs.” IrelandPaganism Quotes Book:The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit Source: The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog: The Landscape of Celtic Myth and Spirit
