Great stuff! But we can do without the king & queen bit. Don't glorify royalty.
Still, we must give some credit to the British. They helped us to get rid of the Irish royalty, albeit for their own selfish reasons.
See you'se Saturday.

Decision due on Hill of Tara motorway
Archaeologists say 'heart and soul of Ireland' is threatened

''It is Ireland's most sacred stretch of earth and one of the most important ancient landscapes in Europe. The Hill of Tara, with its passage tomb, earthworks and prehistorical burial mounds, is the mythical and ceremonial capital of Ireland, dating back 4,000 years.

But now the landscape in county Meath, north-west of Dublin, is the subject of a campaign to save it from what one archaeologist has called the "worst case of state-sponsored vandalism ever inflicted on Irish cultural heritage". ''

. . .

Also, this march may be about saving the Tara-Skryne Valley, but there are many other archeological sites endangered by the Irish Government...

Tara is a very sacred place for all Druids. We are watching these developments from the US, Britain, and many other countries. Our hearts and spirits are with the marchers. It would be wiser for the Irish government to invest in trains and busses to ease congestion on the roads. Destroying sacred and historical sites is a crime against all future generations. The ancestors must be respected.

Come witches , bards, ovates,Druids, come one come all!

It's good to know that the world brethren are watching but the Groves and Covens in ireland need to get out there before Tara is destroyed, just like NEWGRANGE, Tree Henge, Stone Henge and the Tump in Avebury have been ruined by beurocratic government process to feed their automobile monster.
Monolithic burial sites, such as Carrowmore in sligo have been desecrated and tarmacdamed over.

There are a few who are out there fighting to stop this but there needs to be more.
Druids and Witches. Bards and Ovates. And ALL people of ireland or living in ireland have the POWER TO STOP THIS NOW.
B.B.

See you there!

Members of the Pagan community in Ireland must believe we have the power to stop this desecration of our most important site. To exercise this power we must join these marches. Unfortunately today you largely stayed at home. Where were the members of the Covens and Groves of Ireland? Are they aware of these protests?


This plan MUST be stopped.
