I had the good fortune to visit Ireland a few years ago. My wife and I visited castles, pubs, museums and other sites of significance. I have to say the most moving parts may have simply been the time on the roads. The land itself is like nowhere else I have been. There is something mythical about it. I feel like I left a part of myself there, but in return I brought a part of the land back with me. I plan on returning again as soon as I am able.

My father used to say, "If we aren't Irish then we ought to be." I've followed those words like an unsolvable riddle. I've been to Ireland once, too many years ago & yet yesterday. God & Brigid willing, I'll make it back again.

My all-too-brief visit to Ireland (12 years ago) was the single most transformative life experience I've had. In fact, I'm recently reworking my dissertation to explore what this connection to Eíre means including how the Irish think/feel of the land. The enigmatic beauty of the emerald rolling hills lives forever within.

I'll have to use the same word as everyone else - BEAUTIFUL. All of it - the sights, sounds, thoughts ... and you, mythicalireland, for feeling it all so deeply, so like an Irish person, although the Sídhe power is for all. I'm from Tyrone, but I've been all over this beautiful land - Magic is everywhere & one is never truly alone, no matter 'how far out''. Go raibh maith agat.

I'm first generation Australian. My mother was from Essex. My father is German from the Black Forest. For myself I feel a pull to Europe. Something about the history and folklore seems to draw me in. When I'm there I feel I am finally where I belong. The energy inside me is electric when I touch that earth. When I leave I feel a hole in my heart. To be Irish I guess would feel like that - the connection makes you whole. To leave makes you feel incomplete. The land feels a part of you and there's something ancient about that feeling, like, it's not just you standing there in the landscape, but all who came before, and because of them, you are here. 😊

I feel a deep connection to my cultural and language. I feel a deep connection to my people, our ancestors and their struggles. I feel a deep connection to God but also to the old ways. I feel a deep connection with Éire itself and the heard of Eiru. I know this connection is lost on some of us, but its in us all. You just have to find it

It was very likely a fertility site where fertility rituals were conducted for 6 days a year. In 9 months give or take the newborns would have been born just before the harvest. It's unfortunate that a vagina and a womb can still be catorgised as a "passage tomb." Shows the repressive nature and the shadow that Christianity and the influence of the Catholic Church in Ireland has cast on the country, turning places of life, sex and fertility into places of death. "Chris believes that Newgrange was constructed to celebrate the union of the Sun God with Mother Earth. The carefully constructed Sun Window allowing the Sun God to penetrate the passage of the mound (representing Mother Earth) reaching deep into the chamber (representing the womb). "When you visit Newgrange, you too may realise that you are entering the manifestation of one of the world's most ambitious concepts - the marriage between the all-powerful Sun, without which life in any form would be impossible, and our Earth Mother, herself the generous provider of all the gifts that we can ever require". www.knowth.com/newgrange-temple.htm

It's the Jews who say you need to have a Jewish mother to be a Jew... the Irish dont go by those rules.... and if we did it would be the opposite way around considering our surnames are Patriarchal, not Matriarchal.
