A Celtic Blessing
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.
May the road rise to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
May the rains fall softly upon your fields.
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

This was taken in the grounds of Dunfermline Abbey. I was taking long exposures of the Abbey but I liked this view better and knew it would suit this style of processing.
Deep in the Irish countryside is an old Celtic ruin still inhabited by spirits. The mist never completely goes away. The sun never quite gets completely through the thick canopy of trees. Look out for the Leprechauns here. I understand they can be quite vicious in protecting their gold if you come across any.

So far at the Melbourne General Cemetery you'd be forgiven for thinking the Jewish and Italian communities have a mortgage on this part of Melbourne. But this is a diverse burial ground, and eventually we come across older symbols of the Irish, Scots, Welsh and English settlers.
Trinity Churchyard, Wall Street
The oldest grave dates to 1681 and its most famous permanent resident is Alexander Hamilton. It's a lovely old cemetery, beautifully maintained and landscaped, surrounded by the tall buildings of the Wall Street area.

The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland, France and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. A type of ringed cross, it became widespread through its use in the stone high crosses erected across the islands, especially in regions evangelized by Irish missionaries, from the 9th through the 12th centuries.

You know the saying 'There's an app for that'? Well, in my case, it seems 'There's a button for that' because once again I've delved into my button box in response to a challenge. :)
This is a handmade ceramic button depicting a Celtic spiral. It's 1¼" wide. The flower is Erigeron (Mexican Fleabane) from my garden.

This metal bracelet / cuff measures 0.75" wide, the part with the symbols is 2" side to side including the symbol that goes into the shadows.
This is a metal bracelet was gifted to me by my Mom. I am proud of our Irish / Celtic heritage and wear this cuff bracelet often.
The Celts used sacred symbols and geometry in much of their art. Spirals and repetitive patterns were a common theme - often related to the Earth.
HMM, everyone ! !

Another view of the forest just a few hundred meters further from the previous shot. It's a lovely place.
i passed this fine celtic cross earlier in the day when the entire background was shrouded in mist but could not pull over for various reasons. later in the day the cross was nicely lit and there was more to see behind. still a bit of sea mist about though.

The Glauberg is a Celtic oppidum in Hesse, Germany consisting of a fortified settlement and several burial mounds, "a princely seat of the late Hallstatt and early La Tène periods." Archaeological discoveries in the 1990s place the site among the most important early Celtic centres in Europe. It provides unprecedented evidence on Celtic burial, sculpture and monumental architecture.
