Today we went back for a visit to Columcille Megalith Park in the Appalachian mountains. I was here for the first time last summer, and it truly is a magical place. Even if you’re not particularly spiritual or in tune with the nature spirits, you can’t help but feel their high vibrations here as you walk the sacred grounds.
A little about Columcille as I noted in a previous blog post:
Columcille is a hidden gem located in Bangor, PA. It is the creation of the late William Cohea, Jr. who was inspired by a dream he had after visiting Iona, a small island on the western coast of Scotland. According to ancient history, the early Celts considered Iona a place where the veil is thin and one’s spirit could easily travel between worlds. There were once over 350 standing stones on the isle along with sacred oak groves. Inspired by his vision, Mr. Cohea made his dream reality in 1975 when he created Columcille.
We quietly walked the grounds through the circle of standing stones and followed the path into the forest leading us to enchanted sites and ritual circles. We stepped through the Celtic Eye which led us down to a small stream where the banks were abound with skunk cabbage and wildflowers. We circled the faerie ring path and noticed an orange carnelian crystal charging in the morning sunlight. Lastly, we walked the labyrinth where offerings can be laid upon the stone alter if one so chooses.
I left Columcille feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
