TARA na Ri
On Beltine May 1st, 2007 I held a Twin Fires ceremony inside Rath Lugh. On the 2nd of May I held a noon Handfasting on the west side of Tara Hill in the Oak Grove and later that night I held the "Ritual of Protection" for Tara on the Full Moon as we have done since Samhain 2003. My thanks to all who attended.
And then yesterday, the 3rd of May 2007, I walked the Sacred Valley in the Celtic Royal City of Tara. I was accompanied by three campaigners and two county councillors and the vice-chairperson of Meath County Council. The Vice chairperson, Andy Brennan is 80 years of age and he was highly disgusted and ashamed by what was going on in Tara Valley.
We walked in by the open entrance to Rath Lugh, down the track and climbed through the barbed wire fence, strolled over the field and climbed a wooden post fence. I assisted Andy over these obstacles for a very simple reason - we were prevented from gaining entry using the service road by a Meath Security Service man.
Polish by birth - he told us we could not go in. When politely challenged he told us that he was instructed to ring his boss who he would not name to us and he reckoned that his boss would ring the Gardaí. He was a nice young man - so to avoid any trouble we just applied the ‘Irish Way’ to solve the problem. We just went in to the Henge at Tara by a different route - by Rath Lugh as described above.
The Henge is not a fair name for the huge monumnet that sits in the townland of Lismullin. It has been mostly seen out of its true nature or landscape setting.
TARA VALLEY HENGE
The graphic above has part of the surrounding landscape setting marked in red but it does not show the actual setting - more on this later. In the background is Rath Lugh, a huge defensive fort that is heavily covered in a broadleaf forest. On the right hand side you can see where the “road take” has eaten into the embankment of the hill. There is a second and unknown ceremonial enclosure on this hill. Rath Lugh has an outer bank, a ditch and then an inner bank making it defendable. The other monument has an outer bank and an inner ditch making it un-defendable and this is a clear indicator that this is a ceremonial enclosure. Two years ago the Ordinance Survey 6 inch maps did not show Rath Lugh or the Ceremonial Enclosure mentioned above. I tried to force the issue a bit and I was told that if it is not on the six-inch maps then it (Rath Lugh) does not exist. I had mud on my boots from walking on Rath Lugh that morning and was amazed by the stonewall effect of the counter hand. I turned around and picked up a Discovery Series Map, opened it and pointed to the red dot that is Rath Lugh and said - this is Rath Lugh, why is it on your smaller scale maps but suddenly erased from your bigger maps? There was no answer and a senior counter hand came over and asked the person dealing with me if everything was OK. I got the dirty look from this man with a hint of shut up or be thrown out in his manner. Rath Lugh does exist even if they have tried to disappear it from the records. It is huge.
Rath Lugh. Opus Dei and the blue dots of the Gabhra River and feeder streams
On Tuesday, 1st of May 2007, the Sun moved to 10* of Taurus and we celebrated Beltine on Rath Lugh. We held our twin fires of purification inside the monument in two specially modified cast iron cauldrons, one with a square and one with a round base plate to prevent any damage or potential of the fire spirit escaping. A powerful ceremony was held in Gaelic calling on the Ancestors to wake up, get up and help us to Save Tara Valley. As we walked in a figure of eight between the twin fires - more people appeared out of the woods and joined our chanting. When we finished, even more people appeared and joined us - this is easy to understand because were holding the Twin Fires of Beltine Ceremony at the campsite of the Campaign to Save Tara inside Rath Lugh. I popped a bottle of champagne / fizzy wine that I have been given as a gift the night before - the first sup to the land and then others opened more wine and a strong party energy went around the camp site on Rath Lugh. Some of the Campaign to Save Tara members told stories of meetings with politicians in Navan earlier in the night, where they had been pressured into saving a green space in the town itself. Severe heckling and public embarrassment and the will of the people expressed must have frightened the corrupt politicians. A story was told of a Campaigner meeting a black robed priest from Opus Dei at a sacred site in Tara Valley. Cordiality was shared and a non-judgemental approach allowed an exchange of pleasantries. When parting, the Opus Dei priest said ‘I’ll pray for your soul’. That was it ... the Campaigner turned on her feet and in her manners and let rip - I cannot print what was said - but let me say this there is no confusion in the priest’s head about where he was supposed to go...
On the left side of the TARA HENGE picture above is a disused church and graveyard covered in ivy, nettles and brambles. The locals tell that this church was built with the stones of another church (200 yards east) of which only a graveyard remains. When added to the disused church on Skreen hill and the other disused church on Tara Hill that makes four churches inside Tara City that have become desolate. But there is a hidden church on the second floor of the Opus Dei HQ at Lismullin – its time is fast approaching…
In the bottom left hand corner of the TARA HENGE picture is the remains of the Sacred Lake of Tara Valley. This is marked on the 6-inch maps and even a boathouse is recorded. Such lakes were hugely important for ritual purposes, as sky reflectors, as storage of water to power the Mill but they were also the location of ritual deposition of offerings to the gods. Emain Macha, Uisneach, La Tene and so are the indicators of the importance of lakes to our ancestors - but this important lake in the Sacred Valley of Tara is ignored. It is less than 300 steps from the Henge!
Across the base of the image above you see the Gabhra River and you see it again in the image below.
Gabhra Stream on the Gold Road from Opus Dei
This name Gabhra means Goat and is dark shapeshifting by the scribes because it was originally sacred to the Celtic Horse Goddess - Edain Echraidhe. They changed the name but the true energy has returned to haunt them. On the bottom right hand side of the TARA HENGE picture you see it is 200 steps to Opus Dei HQ. The image below shows the entrance to their HQ on the N3 Navan to Dublin Road.
Their location is Lismullin, this this name means the ‘fort of the mill’ - so Opus Dei have their HQ inside a National Monument in the most sacred valley in Ireland. Why? Only their leader would know the answer to that question...
The next image below shows a wide shot of the Henge in an attempt to display its size.
Tara Valley Henge and Opus Dei at Lismullin
I shared an important understanding with the Campaigners and Councillors regarding the landscape setting and I share that with you now. The horizon from the Henge is a bowl. This means that the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and the Stars have risen above the refraction of out atmosphere and regained their true size as they come into our eye view and can be plotted against markers on the ‘rim of the bowl’. This is how great cycles of time are measured. To explain a bit further - when the sun or moon are rising over the distant horizon they seem bigger than they actually are, this is because of the bending of light by the water vapour in our atmosphere but when they have risen high enough they return to their true size. The advanced time cycle engineers that built and used this sidereal cosmic calculator were and are entitled to our deep respect because this was all happening long before Greece or Rome were even thought about.
The next image below shows a close up shot of the Henge in an attempt to display its proximity to the Opus Dei HQ in the ring fort of Lismullin.
A farmer who does not want the road to go through Tara Valley owns the field between the henge and the Opus Dei HQ. He is a guardian and now a supporter of the Campaign to Save Tara.
Bones were found, one had a hole drilled into it - it was given to Councillor Phil Cantwell as he has declared to join the Campaign to Save Tara. The images below are of tooth and bone finds at Baronstown sacred site - 600 steps from Tara Henge.
Baronstown, Human or Animal? ignored by the NRA
Horse tooth?
Our group collected a big handful of obviously ancient bones and teeth as we walked the service track in the Baronstown site. There are many more bones and teeth (some are from horses) to be found by just looking in the spoil heaps. I’ll try to put this into perspective for my readers - the topsoil was removed by 22 ton tracked diggers, the archaeologists scrape around on the second surface and find things - but the spoil is in great heaps - it has not been sieved or searched with intention to recover artefacts because there are so many. The Baronstown image below has the Gabhra River on the left - this is where we found teeth and bones in the tracks made by 22-ton diggers.
Suitable for a roadway?
Stop this attack on our Gaelic and Celtic Culture, throw Opus Dei out of the Sacred valley, crash the corrupt governent, jail the NRA chiefs and all who have conspired for this wanton vandalism and turn the Royal City of Tara into a World Heritage Park.
