- Me, Myself, and I
- I work as a guide and manager for Celtic Ways in Ireland, a tour and event company based near the Keash Caves between Ballymote and Boyle on the Sligo and Roscommon border.
Our most popular tour is "Around Bhride's Garden", a tour of Ireland that includes visiting ancient sacred sites in such as passage cairns, stone circles, sacred wells and sheela na gigs.
We also explore traditions of goddess and saint Brigid, and join in workshops to learn ancient straw crafts (such as making Brigid crosses), ancient music (especially harp music), folk drama, along with wild food and herb gathering and preparing.
We also do traditional music tours, writing tours, meditation tours, celtic christianity pilgrimages, druid shamanism tours and photography tours.

Killinaskully like the Save Tara campaign?
As I write I have just watched the first episode in the latest Killinaskully series, with Pat Shortt, about to become world famous with his lead role in the movie Garage, just released.
In this episode, Saturday evening 8:30 pm, October 7th, the locals are campaigning for the re-routing of a proposed by-pass around Killinaskully due to the discovery of an ancient hidden sacred site of the "Order Of The Stoat".
Quote of the program ....
"Politicians are like nappies (diapers) and should be changed often for the same reasons".

Lost In Translation
For a bit of light and humourous reading check out my new blog "Lost In Translation" http://www.celticways.com/blog/2007/... . As many of my friends do not speak English as their first language I hope they also find humour from English people attempting their lanquages too.
