The winter solstice, I wonder if that ray of light has now illuminated New Grange? It sure would be fun if someone posted a picture of it all lit up inside by the sun. Next best thing to being there... Today is the Big Day….

It's the the Winter version of Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. Only New Grange would have more meaning for me. When we went to Southwest Kerry & Cork last year we visited as many power spots as we could fit in. I literally hugged all the Ogham stones and standing stones in circles on the Beara Peninsula. Also traced crosses in stone at St Gobnait's monastic site. Ireland for me has been a spiritual journey. Can hardly wait to go back to experience more of the spiritual energy!

As someone who is very big into history and ancient religions, it tends to draw my awe more than most places. People think Stonehenge is amazing, Newgrange is, to me, far more enchanting. Then again, that may just be the Irish in me talking. :-P Newgrange is so amazing. As someone who is very big into history and ancient religions, it tends to draw my awe more than most places.
