Celtic traditions live on in Tara

Monday August 13 2007

Meath County Council has had an affable relationship with Fianna Fail for generations and it is therefore no surprise to hear pro-M3 sentiment from their councillors.

However, the truth is that despite claims that the M3 is what the community wants or needs, many folk have been duped and coerced into believing this is necessary.

In Egypt, would the remains of an ancient woman of highstatus be left in a plastic bag in a warehouse? Is our ancient culture to be discarded? Much has been written and said about Tara-Skryne Valley being seat of the High Kings of Ireland and the ancient Royal City of Tara.

However, one monumental fact remains disregarded. This is the realm of the Gaelic White Mare Goddess, Edain Echraidhe, known also as Rhiannon in Wales and Eponain France. Ireland may now be mainly a country of an Abrahamic tradition but our ancient indigenous spiritual traditions still survive today.

Tara-Skryne Valley, realm of Edain Echraidhe, is where the ancient Celtic Festivals are celebrated ritually throughout the year still to this day.
