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.

'May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of His hand'

Symbolic Spiral Meaning
Perhaps it's most prolific appearance is in Celtic symbology where we see the spirals decorating a myriad of their ancient artifacts. In Celtic art and symbolism, we can intuit a few meanings from the forcefully present spiral...
In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence, nirvana, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner (intuitive, intangible) world and the outer (matter, manifested) world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale.
Moreover, in terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things, as recognized by most mystics.
Single Spiral
The single spiral is fairly common and may represent growth, birth or an expansion of consciousness.

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.
Alika Ogochukwu , un giovane uomo nigeriano di 39 anni, padre di un bambino, disabile, risiedente regolarmente a Civitanova Marche è stato massacrato a botte, ferocemente da un tale Filippo Ferlazzi.
Alika era una persona mite, che non aveva mai fatto male a nessuno. Sembra che la sua colpa sia stata qualche apprezzamento alla fidanzata della 'bestia ', ma probabilmente neppure questo. È un delitto assurdo, disumano, dettato da odio razziale, bieco senso di mascolinita' forse, idee suprematiste.
Tra pochi giorni non se ne parlerà più, come di altri delitti simili . Mi domando invece che cosa sarebbe successo se a picchiare mortalmente un 'bianco', senza nessun valido motivo, fosse stato un immigrato 'nero'. La vicenda di Luca Traini , che sparo' contro sei persone di colore per vendicare una ragazza, al grido di Viva l'Italia, e con un Mein Kampf e croci celtiche in tasca ci ricorda qualcosa.
Viva l'Italia, ma non è questa l'Italia che vorrei, certamente.
Credo che tutto questo sia il risultato di anni di parole d'odio, di insofferenza da parte di molti politici, media, opinionisti. Tutti contro il 'nemico', l'immigrato di pelle nera ( perché quelli biondi sono accolti e riveriti), quello che ci vuole invadere, vuole estinguere la nostra razza, toglierci il lavoro, la casa, tutto...
Adesso che si avvicinano le elezioni sono riprese quotidianamente le notizie dei barconi , dei taxi del mare, delle migliaia di disperati che arrivano sulle nostre coste e vogliono avvelenare la nostra vita.
Era già un po' che non si sentivano più queste notizie :la televisione era occupata a mostrarci i milioni di Ucraini che arrivavano in Italia, con scene drammatiche di quanto soffrivano accompagnate da musica altrettanto drammatica, invitandoci ad accoglierli, a fare donazioni per aiutarli. I bambini avevano persino i cartoni nella loro lingua, gli adulti un telegiornale tutto per loro.
Con la caduta del Governo la musica è cambiata , ricompare la paura del diverso, del 'nero', che si vuole appropriare della nostra terra, della nostra vita.
Certo l'immigrazione è un problema che va studiato, regolato, ma non per propaganda politica, facendo leva sugli istinti più bassi e bestiali della gente e sulle loro paure. È molto facile trovare nemici, capri espiatori su cui scagliarsi.
Spero che l'operaio italiano che ha commesso questo feroce e inutile delitto venga punito giustamente, che ci sia giustizia per la famiglia di Alika e che la sua anima possa trovare pace

A thought and a prayer for Alika O. , a Nigerian man killed fiercely here in Italy, without a reason.
With a deep sorrow
A Celtic cross in remembrance of a soldier who fell in France during WWI. Good to see Welshpool hasn't forgotten them: there were pieces of slate with a poppy on by the graves of all the victims of the wars.
Another image of the old graveyard on the grounds of the Saint Canice Cathedral in Kilkenny Ireland.
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.
