Tuatha Dé Danann, A Chara,

I have not been to Brú na Bóinne yet. I plan to go there this year. You might be surprised to know that I do not want to know how the structures were built. I do not want to know what tools were used to carve the spirals in those rocks and kerbstones. What I do want to know is what you chanted as you carved the spirals, what prayers you sent out to your deities and the world.

What does it feel like to once have lived and walked on the earth and taken the mist air into your lungs and now live as non-humans, as part of the energy of Ireland’s rocks, soil, and tree roots? Since you now weave your energy through the underworld and earth elements, do you travel inside the kerbstone, look at a spiral you once created, and now see it facing the other direction? Sunwise for me, moonwise for you? Has the meaning changed for you? Is your underworld a parallel realm or dimension, or are you literally in and part of the earth?

People nowadays have varying theories on what the spirals mean. Here are mine at the moment:
– Sunwise rotating spiral: Birthing, creating, growing — what energy is going towards
– Moonwise rotating spiral: Dying, falling away, letting go — what is coming to an end
– Triple spiral (triskele): Birth, Life, Death

I touch a rock, we connect. I step onto the earth, we connect. I see a raindrop fall into the grateful mouth of a plant, we connect. 

Bennacht,
