The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, when day light hours were at their fewest and spring feels like another world away. However, from this day onwards, the daylight hours will slowly increase, making way for a return of life on the land. The mysterious Neolithic passage tomb at Newgrange remains a potent reminder that this time hel...
Before the popular Christian feast day of St. Brigid’s Day, the first of February was a day to honour the pagan goddess of spring, also named Brigid. It seems as though the love the Celtic people had for this goddess could not be eradicated by Christianity, so their beloved deity was transformed into a Christian saint. This day marked the beginning...
While not as well-known as Newgrange, the ancient site of Loughcrew is similarly built to align with the sun on a solar event. The spring equinox, usually falling sometime between the 20th and 23rd of March annually, is a time of perfect balance. Day and night are of equal length, a sacred moment for our ancestors.
Similarly to Samhain, the Celts believed that this day marked a time when the veils between worlds were thinnest. Fairy activity at this time was believed to be particularly high. Unlike Samhain however, which was a day to honour the dead, Bealtaine symbolised a time to celebrate life. Raucous parties, feasts and weddings were commonplace at this t...

This event marks the longest day of the year and the peak of summer. The land is alive with life and greenery once again, and joy within nature abound.
This important and sacred Celtic holiday was one of thanksgiving and celebration. With the joy of an abundant harvest, our ancestors would burn great bonfires on hilltops and dance the night away. This was time of gratitude and a day to honour the Celtic God Lugh.
Similarly to the spring equinox, the mysterious site of Loughcrew was built to correspond with this time. Falling around September 21, this time was a celebration of equilibrium and balance. The hours of day and night are the same. But from this day onwards, the dark will win out against the light, and whispers of winter become evident in nature.
It’s worth noting that Celtic people marked thus day as beginning at one sundown and ending at the next. So the cross quarter festivals such as Samhain would have been celebrated from sunset on October 31, all through the day and night until darkness fell on November 1. This explains why Halloween night, the ancestor of this festival, is celebrated...
