Life is a journey
The journey not wanting to end
Through all our pain
A last breath battled for
Hanging on
Never wanting to let go
(Author: Patrick Conlan) 



 

Life is a journey that we all embark on from the moment we are born until the very end. It is a journey that is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected surprises. Despite the challenges that we may face along the way, the journey is one that we never want to end.

Through all the pain and struggles that we face, we continue to push forward, fighting to take our last breath. We hold on tightly to the memories we have created, the people we have met, and the experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. Even when we feel like giving up, we find the strength to keep going, to keep living, and to keep loving.

The journey of life is a precious one, and we should cherish each and every moment that we have. We should embrace the challenges and the triumphs, the joys and the sorrows, for they are all a part of what makes life so beautiful. We should never be afraid to take risks, to try new things, and to live life to the fullest. For in the end, what truly matters is not how long we lived, but how we lived and the impact that we had on the world around us.

Butterflies with dark wings were said to warn of bad news such as an attack or failed crop, while white and yellow butterflies were told to bring good news such as a birth or success. In Irish mythology and folklore, butterflies have a special significance. According to Irish tradition, butterflies are believed to move between worlds and bring messages and warnings. They are considered to be souls waiting to be reborn on earth. This belief has contributed to the continued popularity of butterflies in modern-day material culture.

Celtic Goddess Flidais

By Patrick Conlan
 Flidais is a fascinating figure in Irish mythology, renowned for her many roles and abilities as a goddess. As a Mother Earth figure, she is associated with abundance and fertility, particularly through her strong connection to milk and milking. During the Cattle Raid of Cooley, her magical herd of cattle was able to provide milk for an entire army every seven days, a testament to her power. However, Flidais was much more than just an Earth Goddess. She was also a shape-shifter, a goddess of sexuality, and a healing goddess, making her a multifaceted and complex figure in Irish mythology. As part of the Tuatha Dé Danaan, she was believed to have originated from the pre-Christian deities of Ireland.

Overall, she is a testament to the richness and depth of Iri...

Ouija Board

By Patrick Conlan
  The exact origin of the Ouija board is unknown. Objects similar to the Ouija board date as far back as 551 Bce to Ancient China where spirit boards were commonplace items used to communicate with the dead. It is claimed that Pythagoras used talking boards to enhance his studies and unearth revelations from the unseen world. Talking boards also have connections to Ancient Rome where two people used the Ouija board to predict the successor to the king. They were tried for treason and eventually hung and the claimed successor was immediately executed. In February, 1891, the first advertisements started appearing in newspapers.
