Navan Fort has been viewed as a sacred site for thousands of years.
I need, in my soul, an intimate understanding of this site
We hope everyone has had a good Samhain this season! We just finished our annual Samhain retreat, which was nourishing and insightful. Our connections with each other and our gods continue to evolve and grow. The world is going through some terrible and difficult things, and it’s critical at times like this that we strengthen our bonds of community and to the gods, heal our relations to the degree we are able, and fortify ourselves to weather the storms on the horizon.
