Valentine's Week: Unique Romantic Locations for a Wicklow Proposal!!!!
3- The Piper’s Stones
“Above you are the stars, below you are the stones” – Ed Fitch, Pagan High priest.
For those with an interest in Pagan mythology, this Bronze age site is of particular importance. Believed to be the site of pagan ceremonies and sun worship almost 3000 years ago. Athgreaney Stone Circle or the ‘Piper’s Stones’ as they are more commonly known is just off the N81 just beyond Hollywood when travelling South. Legend has it that a piper and his damsels were caught dancing at a Ceili upon the hill on the Sabbath. A sacrilegious act which resulted in them being turned to stone.
Also within the stone circle you will find a whitethorn tree, a common haunt of the fairy folk and place for offerings to be made and blessings to be bestowed. What better place to take your kindred spirit and ask the gods for their eternal blessings.
