During the 20th-25th May I embarked upon the "Ireland of Brighid Tour", a spiritual pilgrimage to Ireland, including walks upon the land, and sacred ceremony to honour Brighid as Goddess and Saint. Marion Von Eupen is a warm hearted teacher and Priestess of Brighid who shares her knowledge and expertise easily and freely, with a warm sense of humour. Our itinerary included a lot of travel, but we sang in the car, listened to beautiful music and the time seemed to fly by. We arrived at Dublin, and visited the early Celtic Christian High Crosses and Round Tower of Monasterboice, full of atmosphere and ancient history. Other highlights of the trip were: Faughart, St Brighid's birth place, the Old Beehive Well, St Bride's Shrine. We also visited Newgrange and Knowth, rich in ancient history and tradition, a truly memorable experience. Highlights of this comprehensive and insightful trip was a visit to the Hill of Tara, where we did ceremony, and explored the whole of this sacred Hill, where once the kings of Ireland were crowned. I particularly loved Kildare, where we made a pilgrimage to both the old and new well, St Bridget's healing waters, and also the Cathedral. To conclude this trip, we travelled to Dalkey, where we met a story teller Brighid Biddy McLaughlin, who enchanted us with her knowledge of Bridghid and offered us home made biscuits, which were served in front of a traditional peat fire.
I will always remember the time spent in Bridghid's Ireland and the unique approach that Mystical Earth Tours has to organising spiritual trips. It's about feeling, touching and linking in to the land and places of interest, not merely hearing a guide read from notes or cramming your mind with factual information which can be overwhelming at times.
I can highly recommend Mystical Earth Tours. Thank you for a wonderful time.

We (a group of five friends) did a Brigde-tour in and around Noorbeek, and it was an amazing experience. Marion is very gentle and wise, has a sense of humour, and all the knowledge you could wish for, being on this trip. My hometown isn't too far from Noorbeek, but this tour really gave me a new perspective on the South of Limburg. I even went back a few times, just to see it all again.

If you ever have the change to walk with Mystical Earth Tours / Marion van Eupen, my advice would be 'just do it'. You're in for something special!!
