Thank you Terri for todays video -It is so true that history is written by the conquerors which is not the true narrative. I am not a sure mankind has learned much from the past especially given what is presently transpiring in our world and it gives me great concern but because I cannot change this and to avoid feeling totally helpless I can do good for Mother Earth and my family and friends and lead a life that respects the earth and ourselves no matter what culture religion etc. We are all connected .Blessings to you and yours Terri ❤️
I think that is the only way we can be. The psychopaths don't understand that caring for our Earth and for friends and families will never change. That is how we are powerful!! xx💚
What a touching walk in the beauty of Ireland 🇮🇪. My rose colored glasses came off when I started asking questions the priests wouldn't answer. There is a strong knowing within the soul that draws us to the Truth, the Spirit, and the Wisdom. It is a great honor to be a student of a true Wisewoman. Thank you Terri and Lol for your dedication to the the Spirit of land and all that comes from it. ☘️🍀☘️
I am also not a fan of St. Patrick. I would much rather pay respect to St. Columba. He incorporated pagan beliefs with Christian ones. He blessed the holy wells and did not demonize the old ways. Palladius came before Patrick. I suppose the pope thought he was not tough enough and replaced him with Patrick. Thus, the good old boys took over and the Mother was brutalized. I pray for the balance to return. Thank you for the journey. It was lovely walking with you.
Thank you for a wonderful video. I definitely felt Goddess energy in that landscape, all the beautiful water flowing and the cave. Holy places are holy and sacred to all. Blessings
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this I have been binge-watching your videos for a couple of days now, and I must say that they are fascinating, educational and downright comforting to the soul. Thank you! From Copenhagen, Denmark
WOW the landscape up there is stunning, and showcased brilliantly by Lol's filmwork. The golden colours are so dreamy. Thank you Terri for bringing us along on your pilgrimage, I love hearing you talk of history and folklore. You always make me feel like I am walking alongside you :)
Thank you for sharing this walk and having moments of quiet in the video and listening to the brooks. Challenges all of us to understand the rift, between worshipping the creator and not only the creation. To have peace in ourselves with the creator (unadorned with male or female personifications) and to be grateful for our brief existence in the wonderful creation. The carpenter stained glass is Jesus. May we all grow in kindness and gratefulness despite the past violence
What a beautiful walk, I’m getting a feel for the energy of the place just by watching this video. The talk was fascinating. I’m ashamed of how little I knew about Patrick before I watched this. I’m off to research more.
Thanks for taking us along on a mini pilgrimage to a sacred place. I love the stark emptiness, a place unencumbered by onlookers. It's my kind of spiritual place. I visited the shrine to Mother Seton near Emmitsburg Maryland in the late 70's, and it has its small stone chapel and sacred spring/well from which the saint and her band of nuns drank from when they retreated into the wilderness. I guess we saints are moved by such wild places. Blessings.
I assume your cameraman was your hubby - kudos to him, he did a really good job. Thank you so much for taking us along Terri, I really enjoyed this video...so informative. I have never heard Mary referred to as the Queen of Heaven before...love that x
Thank you for this lovely videoTerri It's certainly a hike isn't it . I saw it on TV last year how people / pilgrims walk for miles to get to the monument . It's amazing . Blessings and hugs to you ... 💚🙏
Love this. Thank you. In NY there is the most beautiful cathedral to St. Patrick and they have a You Tube Chanel where they even hold masses you can watch.
Thank you so much for this video the magical place you brought to us ,thank you for all your videos and teachings I’m grateful to know a little bit more about where you at your country. Blessings of joy to you and yours 🍀 🍀💚 Happy Saint Patrick Day 🍀💚
Very interesting video, thank you both. Brought up and educated as a Catholic and now a practising Pagan, I know which I prefer! Bright Blessings from Somerset 💚🦋🌳🐝
An excellent video!!! I find it very interesting that it's for St Patrick, but his window is on the side and Bridget's window is in the front. Thank you and Lol for sharing your talents, wisdom and Ireland's beauty and true history with us.
What a glorious landscape. That was a long climb which I couldn't manage these days, but I remember struggling to get up Croagh Patrick even as a fit child which was sheer in spots and having to crawl up on my hands and knees! What a view of Clew Bay though from the top. Thank you for taking us up the mountain with you and for all the fascinating history.
Beautiful, the view from the shrine is breath-taking. Thank you for showing us the well and using your amateur archaeology skills. so much history lost to us. You are so right when will we ever learn.
I finally had a chance to sit and watch this whole video, and I absolutely love it. The way you teach history is just so pleasing and peaks my curiosity to find out more. I am fascinated by the Druid practices and beliefs and since watching your videos, I have begun to feel a more spiritual connection to nature. I see and hear and feel more on my hikes here in the Ozarks of Missouri. After watching this, I have decided I must do this pilgrimage myself even though I'm neither Catholic nor Druid (nor Irish! Haha!). Thank you for all the time and effort you and Lol put into your videos!
That is wonderful to hear - about your spiritual connection to Nature, although I think that was bound to happen with all your hiking. Druidry is very similar to the Native American spirituality in that everything is animated by a spirit whether it is an animal or a plant or a rock or a mountain or a tree or a person! Thanks for watching.x
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Well that makes sense to me then. Although she eventually went west to Oregon in 1852, my 3rd great grandmother learned medicinal practices from the Delaware Indians here in the hills of Missouri. I feel a strong kinship to her and wonder sometimes if her spirit is still in these hills. Is that weird? Thank you again.
Oh so lovely those pictures and the history you tell us, you are a very interesting women, I always learned something from you’re videos, thank you so much to share it with us I appreciate a lot, it is peaceful, spiritual and full of love for nature. You are a priceless women never doubt that you are not. God bless you ..💕
Thankyou Terri for this wonderful video on St Patrick. I enjoyed it immensely. You have such great way of presenting and explaining.. You're videos are such a pleasure to watch.. Helen ❤️
Thank you for sharing, beautiful scenery, reminds me of the Mourne mountains not far from me in Northern Ireland. I was raised Christian too, but came away from all of that years ago, I'm proud to be a pagan and love Mother Earth. Thirty miles from me is the town of Downpatrick where st Patrick's grave is. Loving all your videos along with Bealtaine cottage, thank you once again xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Just found your channel and subscribed. Loved your trip to St Patrick's shrine. The scenery so magnificent. The mass rocks were told to me by my grand father who lived through hard times and he passed on a lot of our family history. Thanks for taking us along on your journey and I know I will enjoy your channel. Blessings to you.
Thank you for sharing this little pilgrimage, your knowledge and your inquiries! I play Celtic folk harp, and have often been asked to play St Patrick's Day gigs - and love hearing the stories related to this day ☘
Thank you Terry I thoroughly enjoyed this! I got shivers, something so spiritual and magnificent yet so serene. If I got this from your video, I can imagine how I'd feel if I were there! I love hearing about your history of Ireland and the beautiful photography. With love ❤️💗
Colmcille, Patrick and Brigid of Kildare are probably the 3 Irish Saints depicted on the glass. Great shows. Informative and much appreciated. Love from your cousin in Scotland 😊
Thank you for sharing this Teri, made me reflect on similarities between the Welsh & Scottish sacred sites & their connections with Ireland. When you come to Wales you need to visit North Pembs, where St Brynach (an Irish St) used to commune with Angels. Such a powerful place.I felt a strong connection with the Welsh Goddess Rhiannon there. Ps Would love to sing up for your herbal course once I finish the wise woman training xx
Blessings dear friend thank you so much for sharing my heritage homeland with me and all of us so beautiful. Pity no one tends to that area to keep it nice on his honor.
Thank you both for such a wonderful video ! amazing scenery and a fascinating history lesson. I share your views on history being riddled with bias, and organized religion sometimes goes astray ... Nature is always worthy of our reverence. Thanks again for sharing Slainte ! Love from Winnipeg Canada xo
Thank you Terri and Lol for the fabulous video. I enjoy your visits to historic places and learning something about them. This is not an easy walk I can see, especially the parts that are slippery and uneven with rocky footing as you ascend. I found the scenery beautiful and the short narrative very interesting. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
I trained as a historian - I love history and I think it is a fascinating subject, especially when you do your own research and find that it is not always the same story we are told in school.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Indeed. We must suppose those educating us did their best. So much has been hidden from many. Thanks again. Looking forward to more.
I have always said that our little part of south Eastern Idaho looks like Ireland with its barren, rolling hills. This video confirms that. I wish you could see it! Thank you for the lovely ramble. I so enjoy your field trips.
@@belwynne1386 Bear Lake Valley is where we own land and will build a homestead in two more years when my husband retires. It's a beautiful little valley.
Thank you for such a lovely view of the pilgrimage walk in Ireland. You are such a beautiful knowledge lady. I always learn so much following your channel. ❤
Hiya Terri Thankyou for sharing today’s video. Oh you&yours must have been chilly so appreciated. I’m sure a nice hot soup & hot bath were had when you got home. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🐝
Wow this blog was very educational and interesting . Loved it and the tiny building windows were beautiful 😍 thank you the place was so magical and peaceful 🙏🏻☘️💕
Oh Terri, thank you for taking us along with you on this rugged and scenic trek. And I enjoyed hearing about the history too. You may think me foolish but I was noticing the waning light and began to feel a wee bit concerned for your safe return journey 😊 Blessings to you both ❤️
You are very thoughtful Andrea - the waning of the light takes a long time here in the west of Ireland. It is the gloaming, a liminal time, full of magic and spirit as we are in neither the day or the night. It was still bright when we got back to the car so all ended well. xx💚
The arrival of Palladius Saint Palladius set sail for Ireland arriving at Hy-Garchon, known today as Wicklow, in 431AD. However, his stay would be very short-lived. The inhabitants of Hy-Garchon banished him from their land so he left and set sail again. Palladius next landed at the Orkney Islands in Scotland and never return to Ireland again.
So beautiful there, must explore this area soon. I ve already climbed Croagh Patrick and it was magical. Thank you Terri loved the scenery on your walk
Stunning panoramas ,interesting history .Druidism is very active again ,I don't know if you know that our chosen chief druid(of OBOD) is Irish ,Eimear took over some two years ago .💚
Yes I did know. I think I met her very briefly about ten years ago. It is wonderful to see that it is on the increase, that more people are turning back to Nature Spirituality
