Ancient Ceremony of Death and Rebirth

The Start of the Celtic New Year is on Wednesday the 2nd of November 2005 with the alignment of the Dark Moon (new moon) over Lambay Volcano up the passage at Cairn ‘L’ at Sliabh na Callighe to connect with the 6 foot quartz standing stone inside the chamber. Join us...

The public are invited to attend at 4pm at the Well on the southern slopes of the Hill of Ward and at Sunset on the Hill of Ward itself for the generation of a pure new fire spirit. We will hold a Fire Ceremony to announce the death and re-birth of the Celtic New Year. At 8pm (approx) we hope to bring this flame to Tara. This is our second Fire Ceremony and we offer an opportunity for others to light candles in lanterns to bring home the new fire spirit of the year. At about 10pm we head to Sliabh na Callighe and there we light the third Ceremonial Fire by approximately 12 o'clock. This is the fourth year we have honoured the cycles of Celtic Time.

All are welcome to join us on Tlachtga (the Hill of Ward or the Hill of the Bard which is one mile east of Athboy) at Tara and on Sliabh na Callighe. An Tuath Nua from TG4 will be filming us on this special day so a big showing is hoped for.
