Mythology & the Winter Solstice
This Saturday is the Winter Solstice. In Ireland, on this morning, the sun will come over the horizon, its light will penetrate the 60’ long, narrow underground shaft of New Grange, and, for 17 minutes, illuminate the famous triple-spiral triskel carved on the farthest wall of the chamber. In Gaelic, New Grange has been known as uaimh na gre’ine, the “cave of the sun.” Over 5,000 years old, it is the largest earth-chamber in Europe, although there are numerous similar chambers from the Neolithic period once used for ritual purposes, all oriented on an East-West line to match the movement of the sun. Going back long before the Neolithic, Neanderthal man used to burry his dead facing East (the oldest sign of religious or mythological thinking)… just as Medieval churches were all constructed on the same East-West axis… and even Native American burial mounds and kivas were also built to mimic the sun’s movement. New Grange itself is a tomb. According to Irish mythology, New Grange was one of the sidhe, or fairy-mounds, where the Tuatha Dé Danann lived. It was an entrance into the Otherworld (known as Tir na Sorcha, the Land of Light)… the place where the dead went. The association with the passage of death into the Afterlife w/ the passage of the sun, suggests a belief in a rebirth or resurrection – that the dead will return, just as the sun returns from its “death.” ( Read more... ) | | Thursday, December 6th, 2007 | 9:08 am
