UISNEACH 🔥 ~~~~~~~~~~ I stood on the Earth At a sacred place A hill in Westmeath The most center space The navel of Ireland In the Kingdom of Míde Of ancient song and tales And ancient deed. Where our ancestors stood Many years before In this place of the hearth Between provinces four From the Ail na Míreann Place of Eirú's rest They Gathered from all North, South, East and West. A gateway beyond to the fifth ~Otherworld A portal between Where the Cat's tail unfurled. Where the Tuatha Dé Danann would rise from their beds Where the horse, hare and raven would lift up their heads To call in the spirits for Bealtaines return To celebrate life To watch winter burn. For Lúgh has awoken from his sleep In the Lough And Brigid and Dagda perched high On the rock. The human tribes gather with torches alight Their singing voice carries 'cross the dark starry night. The ground is vibrating The energy soars The spiritual power The gathering roars The chosen one puts The spark to the pile The flickering flames That rise in a while. The howling begins The shapeshifters dance The flames of the fire Transport us to trance The orange reflections in eyeballs that glow The shaking The waking Of the ground below. This fire is first on Eirú's country But carry your sight 'ore the old Hawthorn tree.. They now light the others from all over the land My skin feels electric Flames flow from my hand. The shackles of this world Are released from it's lock We cry out together..

Bealtaine 2024 – something was broken. Bealtaine is about more than putting logs on the Fire – but this this event has become a shadow of its meaning. Ancient Bealtaine Fires were co-created celebrations of life. When I first came 6 years ago, this Fireside was warm community made manifest and this event still has moments of sublime beauty... Positives; twas was full of beautiful people, workshops and stalls. There was a profound calm about the land. For me the dancefloor with @domhan_well then @bogbodiesband was the high point, such HEALING! (The Fire itself felt like the dessert). And let’s not forget that many attendees do have their eyes opened to Irish heritage.. But behind the scenes, things were off. Speaking ONLY for myself; I don’t feel respected as a Fire Artist – while I surely had fun, we got the same meager fee as last year (which was the first year we got paid at all) – Bealtaine, if you have increased ticket prices and can spend tens of thousands on pyrotechnics, you can afford to pay us properly.. and taking away our food vouchers this year was just stingy. Land Ownership; Uisneach, the spiritual centre of Ireland, is privately owned, usually not open to the people of Ireland like many other sacred sites are e.g. Tara… private ownership permits negative energy e.g. what happened to one true wisdom-keeper and elder who was ‘barred’ by the land owner for making a ceremonial offering… insane s**t. Techno and fireworks in the official procession? ‘Lads, how is this appropriate at Uisneach?’ Cultural commodification; the Fomorian forces of capitalist greed that have sold our land for mining, our waters for fishing and St. Patrick's Day for drinking.... They're now in our heart centre. The saddest example was later when we came to the Fire to sit in community as always and were roughly removed by a bunch of high vis security lads shouting about ‘Insurance!’ – shameful for the ancestors 😞 I was able to help revitalise the Fire with some chants, songs and mindfulness… but something was broken... Time to fix it ❤️‍🔥 #culturalappropriation #bealtaine #firekeeping #ireland #eire #uisneach #grief #irishidentity #firespinning #artsinireland

I've now had 5 images selected for the Leica Fotografie Gallery over the last year and this is the second LFI Mastershot Award. My image "Grand View Lads" from the recent Uisneach Festival of Fire, near to home is particularly satisfying as this event has been so well photographed over the years, by so many. On my first visit to the festival, I set out to look the other way, try to see different, make unique images and tell a story... #Leica #Irishlife #Festival #Uisneach #countrylife #street #candid #lovewhatyoudo #photography

Last weekend on a hill in the Irish midlands, thousands of people from all over the world came together to light a big fire and welcome in the summer…just like they have done for millennia. There is perhaps no other place in Ireland so closely associated with Bealtaine as the Hill of Uisneach in Co. Westmeath. At just over 180m, it is one of the highest hills in the midlands and affords extensive panoramic views across Ireland’s central plain; with up to 20 counties visible on a clear day. Its most ancient name ‘Uishnech Míde’ meaning ‘Middle Temple (or Hearth)’, probably refers to a huge rock on the southern slope of the hill, known as the ‘Ail na Mireann’ (Stone of Divisions). Surrounded by an ancient earthwork, the stone is said to mark the exact centre of Ireland, where Ériu, the spirit of the land, is said to reside. Legend has it, that It was on the Hill of Uisneach that Ériu met with the Sons of Míl and gave sovereignty of the land to the Gaels; asking in return, only that they name it after her. According to the Annals this mythical encounter between the Goddess and the Gaelic ancestors, took place during the time of Bealtaine. Central to the Bealtaine festivities was the fire itself. Historical sources tell us that the Bealtaine fires have been lit on the Hill of Uisneach since the Early-Medieval Era. However, the mythological sources would suggest the tradition is much older than that. According to the Dindshenchas (Lore of Places), it was a druid named Míde that lit the very first fire on the Hill; “which burned for seven years and across the land, every chief's hearth was lit from the fire at Uisneach”. The earliest attested Bealtaine tradition is the driving of cattle around the fire (or between fires) to cleanse and protect them as they are moved out to their summer pastures. Known as ‘Booleying’, this pastoral tradition of moving cattle onto higher ground during the summer months is the origin of Bealtaine. And just like in times long past, after the lighting of this year’s Bealtaine Fire… The cattle have returned once again to the Hill of Uisneach. #bealtaine #uisneach #firefestival #culture #heritage #traditions #cattle #farming #eire

The Trees Return a Song of Stars. Like many, I can find myself arriving at an ancient site with worldly and mundane matters on my mind. Bills to pay and worries; you name it. But what can happen next is often unexplainable. I will forget or become unaware of a transition taking place before realising that I have become completely relaxed and ‘in-tune’ with the land or monument. It goes without saying that there is a relationship of sorts occurring, both on an unconscious level, and, maybe, in terms of expectation too. Perhaps I have come to identify ancient sites and places with calmness, for example. Walking through mountain forests to reach a place like Seefin can certainly help you forget the outside world. There is also a profoundness, some say sacredness, at these places. Again, materialists will argue that this is all created in the mind of the visitor and not part of the ritual landscape. And yet... Throughout history these sites have been chosen because of the belief that a transcendent essence was pre-existing. The monument was chosen for the land, not the other way around. The stones are placed purposefully in order to shelter and amplify something unnameable and beyond description. These megaliths were chosen for their shape, alignment and composition, perhaps circles, solstice and granite, all deeply considered before becoming the connecting physical bridge to something ethereal but always deeply known.

We celebrate the Bealtaine on the hill of Uisneach, in the Celtic mystical and geographical center of Eire, present-day Ireland. An ancient festival. Welcoming summer, Nordics and Celts jointly celebrated Solringen and Beiltaine at this meeting point between cultures. This ancient tradition survived British imperialism and Paganism survived Christianity. 🇪🇸 En el campamento vikingo del festival.

The Westmeath Rose at the Hill of Uisneach in Westmeath for the Bealtaine fire festival. The lighting of the fire on the hill of Uisneach has been an Irish tradition and celebration for thousands of years. It was said that everyone around the whole country of Ireland would put out their fires at home and bring back an ember from the Uisneach Bealtaine fire to restart their fires for the year ahead. This is not even a touch on all the traditions surrounding Bealtaine festival and celebrations. Grace had such a great time celebrating the old Irish culture. #westmeathrose #roseoftraleefestival #uisneach #uisneachfirefestival #hillofuisneach #bealtaine

So wonderful to celebrate and connect with kindred spirits on the @hill_of_uisneach this year for the Festival of Fires 🔥 For me this ancient celebration is too short, I’m pretty sure our our ancestors would have been dancing around the ceremonial flames for at least a week. Honoured to join the fire procession again along side such a talented team of fire artists. More pictures to follow. Cover picture @wayofthewildwoman saw the goddess from afar wearing her Dagda cape and had to capture. Me with Dave the raven and his human companion wearing knotwork dress. @gihac our team online wizard enjoying the festival atmosphere in her Imbas dress.
