Rebirth on Seefin Hill | Forum — The Modern Antiquarian

I have never experienced a feeling like this before. I have just returned from climbing all 625m of Seefin Hill (Co. Wicklow) to visit the remote passage tomb perched on the top. I had seen some pictures of the entrance before, but they really do not do the place justice. The entrance is extremely vaginal, once again the rebirth from Mother Earth theories. The feeling of rebirth is quite overwhelming as you squeeze out between the door uprights.

The first thing I had to do on returning was to update my web site so that I could put the sensations and feelings reeling around my being down into writing. Commit this thing to 'paper'. Let it live and roam.

I am reborn ... Ride On !!!!!

Wow! You put me in mind of an experience wI had at Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula, looking out over Blaskett Sound, a day of rain, and then without warning the sun burst through shedding silver verga spanning out from the heaviness, leaving me washed up with the magnificence, gigantic islands pointing to the heavens like green sundials in the atlantic, and the snow-topped mountains (Brandon?) making a dust-mote of me. I returned home 1000 foot tall and the same fathoms deep.

Did the Kelts talk of a 'shining land'?

Your spinning panorama of Seefin Hill is excellent - I almost felt transported up there. I love the little clouds floating at eye level!

It looks fantastic. I see the name of the hill probably comes from 'Suidhe-Finn' - meaning the seat of Finn McCoole - well it looks like a fittingly majestic place for him.

Its a fare climb up to Seefin Hill Cian, great to do though. I think its a really great passage tomb.
