Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber - Anglesey

Description

On a lovely, sunny, October day we visited one of Anglesey’s most famous prehistoric landmarks - the beautiful Bryn Celli Ddu (‘Mound in the Dark Grove’). In the early Neolithic period, a ditch enclosing a circle of stones was built here, which was later replaced by a chambered tomb beneath a mound measuring up to 85ft/26m in diameter. Inside, a long, narrow passage leads to chamber which, to our delight, houses a wonderful free-standing stone.

It's easy to get to - a pleasant 600 meter walk - but make sure that, when you get to the point where the path divides, you take the left path over the bridge (which we didn't), otherwise you'll end up in a farmer's field (which, when we went, was really boggy) and you'll have to walk all the way back!

Bryn Celli Ddu is a wonderful place to visit. You really feel that you're stepping back in time as you approach it and are seeing it as our ancestors did. Offerings from other visitors had been respectfully placed inside and it really has a magickal and mystical air. We placed our offerings and left with a feeling of great content.

BUT WAIT..... this enchanting place has another secret. As the sun rises on the Summer Solstice, shafts of light shine directly down the tomb’s passageway and illuminate the chamber. We can't wait to return and experience it!

Brief History Paganism:

Paganism represents a wide variety of traditions that emphasize reverence for nature and a revival of ancient polytheistic and animistic religious practices. Paganism is not a traditional religion per se because it does not have any official doctrine, but it does have some common characteristics joining the great variety of traditions. One of the common beliefs is the divine presence in nature and the reverence of the natural order in life. Spiritual growth is related to the cycles of the Earth and great emphasis is placed on ecological concerns. Monotheism is almost universally rejected within Paga
