Shrine of Sagittarius:
Presided over by The Morrigan, Queen of All Rivers at Full Flow,
All Springs & Wells, She is the Virgin Source – the Baive.
Her husband is The Dagda Mor, Chief of the Danaans
She is also An Cailleach, the Widow, She Who Weeps.
Where Her Daughter, a tributary, joins her,
A Goddess Centre is traditionally established.
The Castle is on the Banks of the River Derry (‘Daire’)
which is a tributary of the ‘River of Healing’- the Slaney (‘Slainte’).
The FOI as a Daughter of the Goddess has established the ‘New Awakening’
And dedicated it as the Druid Clan of Dana,
Based in the Druid Grove in the Wilderness in the grounds of the Castle.

On the Main North-East Wall:
Painting of Brigid Na Mara of the Atlantic Ocean.
She Presides over the New Atlantis, the Americas & the British Isles.
She has a statue of Atlanta outside the Temple
We also have Her on the banks of The Derry, (‘Daire’) ‘River of Swans.’
The Water of Heaven descends upon the Earth
And sinks down into the Underworld with Persephone & other Goddesses,
And then springs forth, drawn up by the Sun,
Becomes cloud and descending returns to Earth as Rain.
Ireland is cradled by the Atlantic Ocean
and all rivers ultimately flow back to Her
Brigid Na Mara


“We all come from the Goddess, and to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain, flowing to the Ocean.”
