Tara needs us!

There is a cry for help coming from the green shores of Éire, and I think it is only appropriate that the pagan international community, and especially the European one, steps up and helps in any way. The Irish government has proposed, clubbed through and started building a motorway straight through the valley of Gabhra. This would affect a number of historical sites of cultural and religious significance to all of Europe, and of course can't be aloud to happen.

The main sites being affected by the construction of the M3, as the road would be called, is The Hill of Tara and Skryne.

"It [Tara] contains a number of ancient monuments, and, according to tradition, was the seat of the Árd Rí Éireann or High King of Ireland." - Wikipedia

To put it into context, this would be like the British government deciding to build a road straight through Stonehenge or the Swedish one to build houses at Ale's Stenar! But of course
the British government is actually planning just that! Weather or not this will be any good in the end, remains to be seen. One wonders why they built the roads surrounding it in the first place! (The A303 and A344 that is.)



I personally think that this is something the EU should put their hand into and stop. This cannot be aloud, for the sake of our heritage and our pagan ancestors. If ever there was a blasphemous crime in Ireland, this would be it!

you can follow this unfolding circus at SaveTara.com, or have a look in at the Tara-foundation.org. The Tara Foundation also have a Bebo site, a Yahoo! Group and a host of pictures over at PhotoBucket. I implore you, go check it out and do what you can!

-- May your Gods and Goddesses bless you, and may they save Tara! --
