Magical Mystical Ireland

Discover Ireland’s Mystical and Spiritual History As Part of Your Custom Tour

Ireland is among the most mystical and spiritual places in the world, steeped in folklore, legend and fables. Ancient Irish tales are brimming with stories about various and sundry ‘little people’ featuring pixies, goblins, elves, faeries, the occasional ogre and, of course, leprechauns.

Hoping to see a Druid praying at a mystical “Circle of Life”, slowing down the car in a crossing to let a Leprechaun pass by, and wanting to make all the stories of Finn McCool come true – that’s Magical Mystical Ireland!

 Let Mick’s Custom Irish Tours bring these characters to life for you.

Discover a country dotted with megalithic mounds and burial grounds, Celtic crosses, sundials, ceremonial grounds, stone circles and circles of energy.

  To visit Mystical Ireland is to experience something hypnotic that captures the senses. That is why, when traveling, the fun and enjoyment is to feel the connection between its people and their past.

That’s mystical historical Ireland…. It’s all about finding the past in its villages, its countryside,  and its people.

  Some visitors, however, miss many of these sights, driving or touring right past, unaware that vestiges of Mystical Ireland are right nigh to them.  Don’t let this be you! Mick’s Custom Irish Tours will guide you to the best, and sometimes even “hidden,” sites and including them in your tour of Ireland so you won’t miss a thing.

Mick’s Custom Irish Tours has the knowledge and has done all the research so you don’t have to search all over the Internet, and still risk missing something mystically enchanting…perhaps right under your nose.

We’ll give you directions and maps (if needed) so you don’t get lost.  But maybe you just might want to!

Must See Sites for the Traveller Who Wants to Experience the “Real” Mystical Ireland

Stone Circles exist all over Éire, representing life, community, spiritual adoration, and even death. Most were erected around the 2nd Century BC (c. 2000 – 1200), and some 150 years before the Common Era.

There are many examples that show what Ireland was all about: love, community, self and spirituality. Some circles were built during the Iron Age and represent the connection between the land and the sky.

Mother nature is all around, and the energy can be felt! Stones weighing several tons have been placed in particular forms and styles. Professional archeologists are still discovering and trying to decipher the mysteries.

Sundials are like memorials throughout Ireland. They were the principal time-telling devices before mechanical clocks.   The sundials were the ancient druids’ guides.

There are monuments and representations of writings within ancient stone that go back over 900 years.  From these times, folk tales were passed on from Druid to Druid and from generation to generation.

The Ring of Kerry and Counties Kerry and Cork contain some of Ireland’s most impressive mystical sites. Although the Ring and surrounding areas are heavily touristed, many visitors miss many of theses mystical, spiritual, and historical sites.

The Ring of Kerry is a top destination and a “must see” in Ireland. Perhaps you’ve already seen it, but have you truly experienced the area? The many enchanted and magical locations that are there, and throughout Ireland.

There’s the well-known and oft visited Dingle Peninsula,  Fungie the Dingle Dolphin – quite a tale (tail?), and the monuments within the Dingle Bay Peninsula. .

Mick’s Custom Irish Tours will make sure you don’t miss the “must see’s” wherever you may go in Ireland. Include us in your planning and we’ll include you in ‘Magical and Mystical Ireland’.

Éire was a mystical country religiously ruled by women before the 12th Century, with impressive constructions, structures and formations, and a shining light that still makes it mysterious and spiritual.    

With the abundance of Celtic crosses, stone monuments and circles of energy decorating its land and rolling green hills, these symbols represented devotion to the land, its energy and its people.

Someone must have left them there.

A Women’s Role in the Land of Druids

This was the area where the Druids priestesses practiced their exaltations to nature, life and family, and built 15 stone ceremonial grounds to represent the beauty of their beliefs.

Women had the most important roles in ancient Eire society until the English came and the Middle Ages began, and the female leadership role began to be displaced and males started to dominate the society. Successively, in the following centuries, the Irish society changed and the Druids totally disappeared.

Cruising through Ireland today, what is left behind is mystical and quite impressive. From County Antrim in Northern Ireland…  to River Boyne in County Meath, where Celtic Kings and Queens ruled and had their burial sites…  to Counties Cork and Kerry in the South – there is an impressive array of ancient emplacements and edifices.

The examples found in County Cork show what ancient Ireland was all about: love, community, self and spirituality. There is more beyond the grounds and sites that date back as much as 5,000 years., and the nobility and rulers of this place. There are stories told about how they lived, how they died and how the stones were erected in their honor.

Mick’s Custom Irish Tours will bring you closer to these places of mystery and wonderment.
