BEYOND THE MISTS LIES THE MAGIC OF THE WELL...
Your journey thus far has carried you deep into yourself and has lead you into the presence of the Divine.
Not quite weary but needing a moment of rest, you arrive at the first of Brigid's Wells. This is Brigid's Wayside Well.
In ancient tradition, you circle the well three times, moving sunwise, always sunwise, then cup your hands to take a drink.
The water is cool and refreshing and it renews your body as well as your Spirit.
You notice that the well is surrounded by the offerings of those who have come before you.
Perhaps you have an offering you would like to leave here.
SPIRIT OF THE JOURNEY, CARRY ME...
SPIRIT OF THE JOURNEY, CARRY ME HOME...
SPIRIT OF THE JOURNEY, CARRY ME HOME TO MYSELF...
In pre-Christian times, wells were associated with the presence of a goddess
and were seen as the entrance to the womb of mother earth, the source of life.
The wayside well is a spring well. To watch water gently springing from the earth is to witness creation in an act of unconditional generosity.
This holy well can be a symbol of the source of life within, from which spring hope and dreams.
