Almost Full Moon Saturday Night Display of Planets 30th May 2026

30/5/2026

If you go to Tara tonight at Dusk and the clouds are not above you then you may see the almost Full Moon of 30 May rising at 21:50. The light of the Sun even though it is under the horizon will occult most of the Stars and Planets but as the Sun goes deeper into the underworld the the sky will darken and then these are the Stars and Planets you may see. Realize it is a privilege, a rare treasure that we can share - knowing that our Ancestors took the time to honour the luminaries.

7th of May 2026 - 10 years after stage 4 cancer

30/5/2026

2 Comments

My interview for a Dutch/German documentary on Healing went well. They will edit and I'll be one of many interviewees contributing a part of my personal journey with end stage cancer and the healing powers of the sacred herb.
I've kept quiet about this aspect of my Path for the last 10 years. I have personal knowledge and real experience and therefore wisdom too about this self healing because I am still here after 10 years.
Every day is special and we should all give thanks for every new day as we regain waking consciousness - because it is another chance to shine brightly.

Full Moon 31st of May 2026

30/5/2026

On Sunday, the last day of May 2026 the Full Moon will rise in Scorpio at 23:15. It will be very close to the bright star Antares. The image above shows the sky without the Sun's glare at the 8pm starting time of ceremony facilitated by Ard Druí Sean Rua. So you know the Sun is not gone to the other world yet and the Full Moon is not risen or visible in this world either. Following the Sun although not visible is Jupiter, Venus and Mercury. These three planets will go down exactly where the Sun left our view and become visible to the naked eye, just as the Full Moon becomes visible too but not during ceremony - instead the timing is after 11pm...! Watch the Sun go down, the Full Moon come up and as twilight darkens you will also see the 3 planets as they follow the Sun. Remember - Planets merely shine while Stars twinkle. Happy Full Moon to everyone!

Detox your Subtle Energy Body

Down in the lower part of our woodland we can see that the sap is rising and the leaf buds are opening on the trees = the Earth's Energy Field is up transforming the woodlands. Now that the trees are opening their leaves and creating the green canopy we are preparing special seated places in the woodland for you to Detox your Subtle Energy Body (Aura) by merging / meditating with the energy of the trees. Each tree has a big Aura that is bigger than the human Aura and by relaxing our mind and body we can connect. This is how you recharge your inner battery as you align with the Earth energy flow within trees. Get rid of those winter cobwebs as you sit in the positive energetic breeze that’s created by the energy fields of the trees.

This new activity (private, safe and secure) is not open here just yet but it will be open soon. This is for over 18’s only and no pets are allowed. Pic shows Ard Druí Niamh meditating with a young Oak tree here at the Celtic Druid Temple last year, pic by Con. Are you interested in this experience?

Beltane Friday 17th of April 2026

Beltane 2026

Beltane 2026 is on Friday 17th of April at 21:42 when the the Eye of the Bull (Tarbh/Taurus) becomes a daytime star in the twilight sky.

This event is only for a few minutes and begins after the Sun has set but the sky is still bright and we move deeper into twilight . This is the liminal space between day and night. For our ancestors the cycle of time began at Sunset and this star appearing in daylight just before darkness was a very special event. The star is called Aldebaran and it is one of four bright stars in the belt of the zodiac, it is known as the Eye of the Bull! The other 3 bright stars in the zodiac are linked to Imbolg, Lughnasa and Samhain.
This unique timing event is what our ancestors saw as they watched the night sky - a very magical experience if you get to see it. To keep your focus in the correct direction set your compass to 273* Azimuth. Look down the sight line and you’ll see Venus shining - always recall - “Stars Twinkle and Planets Shine” so you will know which one is Venus and which one is the Eye of the Bull. Without a compass just look due west at 20:14 where the Sun went down into the other world - mark that location on the horizon (pick a tree or hill top) and wait until 21:42.... Happy Beltane to everyone!

Spring clean at Celtic Druid Temple

Starting at the gate we have created a new flower bed to sit underneath and compliment this amazing triangular rock. Who knew it but this stunning creation was lying asleep for years in the corner of the field until con spotted it and enlisted the help of a neighbour to stand it upright and proudly mark out the entrance to Celtic Druid Temple.

Called slash by some but to us this is the makings of woodchips for the pathways inside the polyhouse and in the nursery. Even the chickens get a layer of this wonderful abundance in their big run. Inside the roundhouse, our wooden temple, we have already given a dressing of woodchips which brighten up the place and look great too.

The chickens got a day out in the Sun!

This used to be the compost bay, the chickens have that job now so this portion of the garden is being remodeled.

Its been a great year for Daffodils, the one on the left is a heirloom variety that now grows wild on our farm. The irish for daffodil is Lus an chromchinn which literally means:

Lus: Plant or herb.
An: The.
Chromchinn: Genitive form of cromcheann (bent/bowed head), derived from crom (bent/bowed) and ceann (head).

And the Polyhouse (its not a tunnel) which we built ourselves from the frame of our wedding Marquee is ready to shelter and encourage the growth of soft fruit, herbs, flowers and veg for the season ahead. If you'd like to visit us and enjoy a tour of the Temple and woodland with all its off grid features we are now open and taking bookings ...click here for more info.
