Tobernalt Holy Well Sligo
Tobernalt—the Well of the Cliff—between Carns Hill and Lough Gill
There is a deep shift to the feminine with the essence, a profound clearing of the patriarchal energy and a standing in ones own power. The darker side of the feminine, the dark moon, the womb energy, the transformation in our bodies and breath. This is a potent mystical force that is not to be feared.
This essence is about the foundations of your roots, the body. Grounding nourishment and trust within one self. It can help one to be confortable in their body and to feel safe and secure. There is a stability that emerges from wearing the essence.
“The well rises from a powerful and fast-flowing spring, and it’s water is said to have healing properties with cures for both eyesight and madness. The origins of the ‘madness’ cure may has something to do with Maeve the Goddess of Knocknarea, whose name means ‘The Intoxicating One’, or possibly the legends of Sweeney the Mad King who is associated with the Cailleach at Sliabh Dá Eán to the south.”
Inherited traumas are helped to release and a reconnection with the physical body comes through, touch and a connection to oneself through gentle movement such as yoga.
Reclaiming the right to be here, in our bodies and recognizing what a gift from spirit this is.
There can be a fear of being out of control, to change, to manipulate to have it our way and to fix,this can also appear as one being manipulated , constantly giving in, following others and being the victim. Fear or paranoia can cause the chi to descend, resulting in kidney and lower back issues where emotions are ever present.
It helps one to be immersed in abundance and love ones body with trust and wisdom.

Fairy Glen well water essence – Knocknarae Sligo
Fairy Glen well water essence – Knocknarae Sligo
An essence of survival and transformation
This well sits beside a large natural sheltered magical valley in the south side of Knocknarea. The Glen was potentially formed by a fault-line in the mountain while the glaciers were sculpting the landscape during the last ice age.
This glen/valley is near the sacred hill of Knocknarea where the ancient queen Maeve of Ireland is buried on top. There is archaeological evidence that suggests our ancestors carved rock from this glen thousands of years ago to use as Dolmen tombs across County Sligo, Ireland.
This essence is all about love and balance, self acceptance and intimacy. There is a connection to deep grief with oneself and a compassion within this. It helps to balance within one almost where we are as a society: antisocial, withdrawn, critical and judgmental, lonely and isolated. Unacknowledged grief, arising from divorce, death, loveless environments, conditional love and betrayal are all things that can lead us to believe in this lack within oneself.
There is an infinite supply of love in the world, and when we are loving to ourselves this ripples out and back in the world helping us to live in harmony with others.
It is a deeply transformative essence of fire. An essence of self definition, establishment of autonomy . There is a wanting within those who will benefit from this essence for security, safety, to protect others, to defend to be safe in the world and ourselves. There is almost a fear of life, a fear of engagement with its true love and magic.
Soon after coming to the slope of the hill you meet one of the queerest, wildest, and most beautiful of glens. It is a wondrously romantic freak of nature planted there in a cleft in the rock and walled off from the world, as if the Great Mother meant to lock it up and hide it away for her own use. It is thickly wooded, narrow and deep. The trees meet over the path in places, and the ferns touch you as you pass. The spirits of Knocknarea must love it. One can fancy how they made it their own centuries ago. A mystic poet might dream his life away in it, holding communication with the hero-dead of Connacht.”
William Bulfin in 1903

Civaux – La Vienne water essence
Civaux – La Vienne 46°26’46.7″N 0°40’22.3″E
46.446303, 0.672847
Civaux, the waters taken on the northwest bank of the river Vienne just at the entrance to the village. Civaux is an ancient Celtic/pagan shrine and pilgrimage site (Rue de La Biche) and just north of the ancient Roman town of Lussac Les Chateaux which is surrounded my Mesolithic, Neolithic, Magdelenien and Neanderthal cave, ritual, and living sites. These have been overlaid by ancient shrines to Celtic goddesses, Roman goddesses, and then to Christ. The site at Civaux was just this, a celtic, then Roman and then a Christian religious site. The Church at Civaux contains one of the few representations of the Melusine herself. In the 1980s the site was selected as the site for a large nuclear reactor/power plant, as a quiet waterside village (the river water is used to help cool the twin towers), and to everyone’s astonishment, a huge cemetery, built-in Merovingian times: the third and 4th centuries AD was, uncovered. Over 4 km long and with in excess of 4,000 stone sarcophagi. A staggering site. As an addition to the nuclear power station, a crocodile farm and aquatic center with 50-meter diving pool was additionally built also utilising the abundance of hot water from the towers. It is indeed an awesome site.
This essence is all by thought consciousness, Understanding. The identity is universal.
It’s demon would be attachment and in its development, it would be about the assimilation of knowledge and the development of wisdom. Its purpose is understanding, consciousness, awareness, belief systems, and transcendence. The ability to perceive and be aware to be open minded and question, a greater sense of spirituality and broader understanding. In its trauma, it would manifest as blind obedience, misinformation, education that towards curiosity. This essence allows one to reestablish the physical and emotional connection with spirit to examine one belief to examine, to examine one’s beliefs and to develop an inner witness.
I am I am whole, complete and total unto myself, everything and everyone is part of myself. It is all perfect. The body is totally at rest. And still, the energy is quiet and calm. The mind is clear and empty here totally aware. Life is it is an all as well.

Hawaii Water Essence
The Hawaii waters are light and effervescent and sparkly, a very light essence in all its meanings.
It is almost like the bubbles in the wave of the sea, the absolute joy of the energy coming to meet the land. These waters were collected by Grandmothers in ceremony and were gifted to me to create this essence.
The contradiction of a remedy made from water and diluted with itself presents interesting questions around the uses and permutations of a landscape whose energy-fields mediate and co-exist with the human body. This essence reflects on the ephemeral and delicate sense of loss, causing us to contemplate on the contemporary environment we find ourselves in. We are living in world where we only see the tip of the iceberg, big energy in little spaces. Somehow there is a vivid burst of brilliance, like fireworks, a healing light in a hazy apparition.

Nemnach – Hill of Tara – Ireland
The site of this water collection is from a well called Nemnach (same root as nemeton, a sacred space of ancient Celtic times) at south foot of the Hill Tara – a truly pagan spring in a clump of whitethorn. Reputed to be the site of a Sídh-mound and also the place where Cormaic Mac Airt, king of Tara, had the first water mill inbuilt for Ciarnait. From it flows a stream called Níth (possibly from Sanskrit, ‘washed, purified’) which feeds into the Gabhra river which in turn feeds the River Boyne.
This water as an essence is the embodiment of fertility, not only in the sense of conception but also it’s the ability to enhance inner vitality in it’s deep elemental connection to the land and waters. It is a water essence of creativity which allows one to enter into sacred inner flow while remaining solidly rooted in the body, on this earth. This remedy brings the deep acknowledgment of the ancestors who have lived and breathed upon the land and all the elements the land supports.

Glenade Equinoxes Water Orb – Ireland.
Equinoxes occur when the sun crosses the celestial equator in its seasonal migration. This occurs twice a year. The Vernal equinox is in late March and the Autumnal one is in late September. This essence has been made from waters of both equinoxes. A balance of dark and light. This essence is deeply linked to the Dobharchu story and the darkness we can feel around death and depression. There is a transformation within this remedy however almost like a shapeshifter. One must be wary of the darkness that balances our light but we cannot be light without the dark. This essence helps with the inner transformation and shift of the darkness into light. It can help to lift the grief for lost places of your past, a place that you cannot return to, a place that perhaps never was. These waters historic experiences and private stories of loss are held within the valley. Through this essence, there is a transcendence of physical and mental barriers and limitations that resonates with the past and gently evokes the future. It brings new meaning to a place that would have become stagnated in inertia. These remembered local landscapes, the waters, are the messengers of the excluded and perhaps the forgotten. This essence brings a hope for a better tomorrow, transferred through this process of serial dilution to release aspects of space and time.
