Celebrate your Celtic Culture

Tara Pilgrimage 07 to Reclaim Gaelic Culture and Heritage - Vote Save Tara Valley

Energising the Celtic Stream of Spirituality at Tara by offering a Celtic Blessing for Tara on the Summer Solstice. The Sun enters 0* Cancer on Thursday at 18:08 on the 21st of June 2007 and this is the longest day of the year - celebrate your Pagan Celtic Culture on Tara.

At 8 o’clock on Thursday evening 21-6-07 - there will be barefoot dancing, didgeridoos, drumming and chanting with men, women and children at the Rath of the Synods. Meet friends here walking free on the Hill of Tara as Celts again. May many men and women walk hand in hand and barefoot and share a blanket under the stars on Tara once more. This is not a protest - it is a Celtic Celebration of Tara.

In 2007, on the Summer Solstice – many Celts of the modern world assemble to bring a Celtic Druids Blessing to Tara. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year and we gather for 24 hours from Sunrise on the morning of Thursday, the 21st and to stay until the sunrise on the morning of Friday the 22nd of June. Celtic Druids will hold multiple ceremonies throughout the day and night. On this potent day/night we will call upon the God and Goddess to help us protect Ireland and especially TARA VALLEY. We will offer a Celtic Druids Blessing for Tara. We will hold a ‘Healing Circle’ and then perform the symbolic lifting of the Blanket of Darkness from the land of Tara.

In ancient Gaul(France) Pagans honoured Epona the Horse Goddess and in ancient Cymru (Wales) Pagans honoured Rhiannon, the Horse Goddess at the time of the Summer Sun Standing. I reckon that we Gaels (Irish) honoured Edain Echraidhe, the White Mare Horse Goddess at this time of the longest day. Her sacred valley is the Gabhra, between the hills of Tara and Skryne where Opus Dei have their Irish HQ at Lismullin. Our corrupt government are trying to force a double troll road through this valley. They must be stopped.

We will declare the Truth of the Light and re-activate the Celtic Stream of the Cosmic Tradition for the whole world to hear. This event is free and open to all. The mid summer event in 2007 is when the Sun bring us Light for the longest day / shortest night of the year. This is a very special time for all Pagans and those on a Celtic Path. I now, in the name of the Gods and the Goddesses, the Ancestors and the Heroes, do solemnly call upon all those on the Celtic Spiritual Path from wherever on Earth they may be, to join us at Holy Tara from the rising of the Sun on the 21st till sunrise on the 22nd. The Authentic Druids of Celtia will hold multiple ceremonies throughout the day and night. We will declare the Truth of the Light and re-activate the Celtic Stream of the Cosmic Tradition for the whole world to hear. This event is free and open to all.
