*br*Searles wrote,*p*: There is also "Slieve na Cailleach" which is *br*: amountaine with a passage grave on it that has many *br*: important solar and lunar orientations.  I'll research this *br*: and post more another day.*p*     I look forward to your insights in this matter, as I'm sure it will be of great value to my research. The mere mention of Red Rury, the King of the Dead, being the father of Bui' has already set more wheels to spinning.*p*: Maybe we *br*: could all take a lesson from the Cailleach in how to *br*: experience seven periods of rejuvination from our miseries?*p*     Good lessons She imparts, indeed.*br*     *br*     You know (going into thoughtful mode here)...each time I am visited in the night by Cailleach Oi/che, I am reminded of this proclaimation:*p*    "It was bequeathed to the Corco Duibne '...that they shall never be without some wonderful cailleach among them...' "*p*     And She is among us. We have only to listen in the stillness of night to hear Her voice float to us on the wind from the depths of time. It is no wonder that sometimes what She has to say frightens people, because Her lessons cannot be learned in the comfortable light of day. Yet, we must come through the night to reach the morning... *p*The Topaz Owl*p*
