Newgrange Winter Solstice

http://www.lookaroundireland.com/county-travel-guides/meath/newgrange-central... On the 21st December each year a beam of sunlight shines up the passageway to light the central chamber of Newgrange.
This are images taken during several visits at this time to the music titled Newgrange by Clannad.

strangely enough,the interior of this 'cave' is remarkably similar in appearance to a woman's birth canal! pretty crazy eh?!

[tubelookjohn]

@777azathoth Well there is a theory that this is actually what they are trying to recreate!

There is a place on the east Mysterious ring, a magical ring of stones The druids have lived there once they said, Forgotten is the race that no-one knows. Chorus: Rum de rum rud a derimo Rum de rum rud a derimo The circled tomb of a different age Secret lines carved on ancient stone. Heroic kings laid down to rest Forgotten is the race that no-one knows. Wait for the sun on a winters day And a beam of light shines across the floor.

Few people remember who we truly are.

The brainwashing by the Vatican worked well and now our people live in fear, while giving away their sovereignity bit by bit.

@tubelookjohn It's more than a theory. The sunlight travels up the birth canal until the moment when it reaches then end, symbolizing the rebirth of the Sun God & the turning of the Wheel of the Year. The Sun God returns on this day, which is why the celebration of Christmas was placed about this time.

Nice music; very atmospheric. As a side note, I like the picture near the end that shows Newgrange from a distance and a spider's web in the foreground. We tend to think of spider webs as belonging in areas that have been deserted or that see little activity, so the aforementioned picture juxtaposes that idea against Newgrange itself, which is far more isolated, deserted, and timeworn than spider web homes.

Totally in arms with you on that sentiment, nobody understands the complexity and beauty of our heritage, materialism is more fufilling, we probably should'nt judge because the path to fifillment is easier for some. I would have loved to be at Tara or Newgrange for the summer solstice, but I was there in spirit )0(.
