TARA na RÍ
A brief summary of some of my thoughts (Cael Saorchlann ) on the sacredness of Tara, and the implications of Tara's current peril. I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you'd print, but I have poured over them and I believe they are true words.
Blindness and Sanctuary
These hills- yesterday called Achall and Temair (Blindness and Sanctuary) and today called Skryne and Tara- these hills and this stream called Gabhra (the White Mare)- these were sacred long before the hands of men shaped their circles of earth and timber, wore their paths, and built their homes in their midst. These hills and this stream were made sacred by the Spirit that created them- the Spirit that created all that is. They were born of God’s own inspiration, by God’s own will, and made sacred by God’s own presence.
When the ancients built those monuments they were built to revere the space that God by his presence had consecrated- the ancients did not consecrate this space, neither was it in their power to do so. Just as ancient man lacked the power to consecrate God’s creation, neither has modern man the power to desecrate it, despite his attempts to destroy God’s good works (and to destroy the monuments the ancients built to revere them).
Even now Tara is a place of metaphor. From ancient times it has symbolized our planet: the King of Tara was the King of the World, and that fleeting, fading Tara is our fleeting, fading Earth: a casualty of the crumbling values of man, who in his pride has given his heart to money, his own creation, scorning Gabhra and the Island of Ireland and the Earth, the creation of the Spirit of God, and heeding not the words of Solomon the wisest of Kings, who in his book of proverbs said “Remove not the Ancient Landmark which thy fathers have set.” (22:28)
