Dancing with Demons by Peter Tremayne - Books of My Heart
      In late 7th century Ireland, a murder of the High King rocks the Five Kingdoms even as a religious war tears through the lands as old pagan ways clash with the new Christianity.  Fidelma has been called upon to investigate and solve the murder before a new High King can be crowned.  […]

They say there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but honestly, the view at Glendalough is treasure enough. 🌈 Caught this lucky moment beside the ancient round tower today.

A vertical outdoor shot of a tall, ancient stone round tower with a conical roof, standing against a backdrop of a densely forested hill. In the foreground, dark, leafless tree branches frame the scene. To the left of the tower, a soft, multi-coloured rainbow arcs down through the trees. The foreground features a green grassy field and a low stone wall. The lighting is soft and slightly moody.

In the middle of nowhere sits the ruins of a tiny little one room house.
To the side of the house sits an ancient wedge tomb, dating back thousands of years.

New Study Debunks Theory of “Incestuous Royalty” Ruling Ancient Ireland
Evidence from Newgrange suggests ancient Ireland was more egalitarian than once believed, with no clear signs of a ruling elite despite the discovery of an incest-born individual in the tomb. New research...

A tall, grey, historic stone round tower stands in a lush green field under a partially cloudy blue sky. The tower is surrounded by green trees and a hillside covered in dense green foliage. A stone wall separates the tower from a grassy field in the foreground, where several gravestones are visible on the right. A single sheep is grazing on the grass near a large tree on the left. The scene is well-lit and appears to be a sunny day.

A low-angle shot shows a vaulted stone corridor underneath Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. The corridor has rough-hewn stone walls and a matching ceiling, with a clean stone floor. Two black wrought iron gates are open in the foreground, inviting the viewer deeper into the scene. A large wooden door is visible at the end of the corridor, bathed in a warm light from a single bulb. The light casts long, dramatic shadows across the floor.

A weathered, lichen-covered stone cross stands prominently in the foreground, with its rough texture and patterns clearly visible. In the blurred background, a vibrant green field stretches towards a distant, lush green mountain range under a cloudy sky. A low stone wall is also visible in the mid-ground. The image has a historical and serene feel.

Kerbstone 15: Ireland’s Ancient Stone of Secrets
What if a single stone held the key to unlocking the mysteries of a 5,000-year-old civilization?

Kerbstone 15: Ireland’s Ancient Stone of Secrets What if a single stone held the key to unlocking the mysteries of a 5,000-year-old civilization? Deep in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, at the ancient site of Knowth, lies Kerbstone 15 — a seemingly simple slab of stone that may hold profound insight into the Neolithic mind. Far from ordinary, this weathered megalith is etched with intricate carvings: a central cupmark with 20 radiating lines, alongside spirals, arcs, and U-shaped motifs. Is it art? A star map? An ancient calendar? Or something more metaphysical? As part of a ring of 124 kerbstones encircling Knowth's main passage tomb, Kerbstone 15 belongs to the largest collection of megalithic art in Europe. And while scholars continue to debate the meaning of its carvings, one truth remains: these stones offer a rare glimpse into a pre-literate culture that aligned its monuments with celestial rhythms, the Earth’s energies, and possibly even the cycle of life and death. Kerbstone 15 is not just a rock. It’s a portal to prehistoric consciousness, a sacred relic that still whispers across millennia. #Kerbstone15 #Knowth #BoyneValley #MegalithicArt #NeolithicMystery #AncientIreland #CelticRoots #MegalithicCalendar #StoneAgeWisdom #AncientAstronomy #PrehistoricArt #SacredStones #LostCivilizations #PassageTombs #ArchaeoMysteries #HiddenHistory #WorldHeritageSite See less Comments Phil Glover Wtf 27m Reply Share Nigel Ash No photo description available. 42m Reply Share Rick Royal 🌠 𝗦𝘁á𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿 🌀🧙‍♂️🙏🏼💜🕊️✨ This is a celebrati… See more 45m Reply Share Edited
