The Magic of Ireland – Pilgrimages and Visions

Pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick

Croagh Patrick is a legendary holy mountain in Ireland. It is a symbol of the mythological Sacred Mountain from where one could reach higher levels of Being. It was on the summit of the mountain that Saint Patrick fasted for forty days in 441 AD and after this started his Mission. Since then, the pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick has become a confirmation of faith and a symbol of the journey to higher states of consciousness.

In the summer of 1989, Marie, John Moriarty and I approached the Mountain but the weather was very misty and nothing could be seen. Nevertheless, I expressed a desire to climb it and Marie encouraged me. So, I started, following the traced path, but it could only be seen two or three metres ahead. At some stage the path curved and I was not sure where to go but the inner feeling guided me in the right direction. Somewhere along the path, I saw a Cross and I stopped for a short prayer–meditation. Later on, the path disappeared and I started climbing from stone to stone towards the summit. I did not know how long it would take, because I was only able to see a few stones ahead. Finally, I reached the top, but everything was in deep mist. To my great surprise, after I did a little walk on the top of the hill, I saw the silhouette of a church appearing as if from a ‘mythological land’! Of course, as a ‘pilgrim’, I toured the church in deep prayer and meditation. After about an hour, I descended peacefully and met my friends.

Because I did not know the area and the path to the summit, I felt that this climb was like a test for me, the opportunity to ascend to higher meditative states and to receive some insights about my mission in Ireland. During my ascent, little by little, Croagh Patrick became for me like the summit of a Sacred Mountain from where I was able to contemplate some metaphysical and metahistorical events. With great appreciation I linked with the pilgrims from generation to generation journeying to Croagh Patrick. In a sense, they were expressing the most beautiful qualities and virtues of the National Soul of the Irish people, while their pilgrimage to the summit was a link with St. Patrick as the personification of the National Spirit-Guide of Ireland.

The spiritual thoughts and feelings during my climb were very deep, emotional and revealed to me the essence of the Irish nation and destiny. Out on the mountain everything was in deep mist to such an extent that when I reached the top of the mountain, I was not able to see the church which stood there. On the other hand, the National Soul and the National Spirit-Guide, personified by St. Patrick, were lit by the bright light of the ‘spiritual Sun’. For me this was an indication that I was accepted mystically by St. Patrick and by the Irish people and received blessings from Heaven for a spiritual mission in Ireland. Perhaps, this is why my next pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick was in wonderful weather and I was able to enjoy the exquisite view of all three hundred and sixty five islands in Clew Bay.

In hindsight, I could say that after my climb to the top of Croagh Patrick, the path for introducing the New Mysteries from Ireland was opened. It was not by chance that later on, at the foot of Croagh Patrick, with Mary-Susann, I started writing the book The Second Coming! Many years after, in 2014, with two of my friends from Bulgaria, Krasimira and Bogdan (Please see, the Featured Image), we rich the top of Croagh Patrick and received the Blessings to reinforce our Mission in both countries – Ireland and Bulgaria.

Glendalough and the River of Light

Glendalough became one of my favourite sites in Ireland: it was close to my first dwelling place – Matthew’s house; it reminded me of the Sacred Mountain Rila in Bulgaria; it was one of the most important spiritual centres in Ireland from where the revival of Christianity spread to Europe. In Glendalough I felt very much at home and inspired while being there.

On one occasion, I was in Glendalough with a group of four close spiritual friends – Marie, Jim, Don and Mary-Susann. First of all, we visited St. Kevin’s cell and did a prayer-meditation there. The spiritual presence was very powerful and we felt an impulse to climb to the top of the hill above the second lake. Exactly at 12.00 o’clock we were there and we started a meditation which I will remember for the rest of my life.

As we entered into the state of contemplation and meditation, for me the Heavens opened and I felt a Divine stream of Light pouring down.  It was like a majestic River of Light, springing from the Heavens above Glendalough and flowing out through the whole of Ireland – passing through Slane, New Grange, Tara, Clonmacnoise, Croagh Patrick, and many other sacred sites. Just as the River Shannon flows through Ireland, so this River of Light flowed through the whole of Ireland, making it a celestial land.

Here I recalled the vision of St. John in the Book of Revelation: “The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal and coming from the Throne of God and the Lamb and flowing down the middle of the City’s streets” (Revelation: 22:1). The people whom I saw in this mythological celestial land were the saints and prophets of Ireland, thousands of known and unknown righteous human beings from the whole history of this land up to the present time. They had the “mark of G-d on their foreheads“, their souls were blossoming and their Higher Divine Selves, completely awakened, were manifesting all human virtues and qualities. At this moment, I understood that all contemporary people of Ireland were being very warmly invited to take their place in this Kingdom of God and to establish it on Earth forever! This had to be done by raising the etheric vibrations of the Irish land, reviving the sacred places, resurrecting mystically the good people from the past generations whose names were written in the Book of the Living. Then, by practicing the whole spectrum of human virtues, the present Irish people have to write glorious deeds in this Book of the Living, and enter into the New Cosmic  Cycle of Existence of humankind. The fusion between the earthly and celestial Ireland was a bright example of the Day of Resurrection and the coming New Reality.

The Vision of the Divine Mother

I have visited many places, many sacred sites, and almost everywhere I have felt the most powerful and beautiful presence of the Divine Mother. I can say that the whole of Ireland is encompassed and warmed by her Divine Love, mercy and compassion, by her tenderness, motherly care and kindness, by her beauty. It was a great joy for me to give workshops, to perform the sacred dance Paneurhythmy and meditations consecrated to the Divine Mother in various places in Ireland. One of the most inspiring was in the field in front of the ruins of St. Mary’ church in Glendalough: this incredibly beautiful place, with an amazing panoramic view and soft magnetic vibrations was ideal for connecting with the energy of Nature, Mother Earth and the Divine Feminine. A special seminar in a convent around Limerick was consecrated to the Feminine Mandala Meditation to link with the glorious Personifications of the Divine Feminine in the world religions. We celebrated also The Immaculate Conception in our Lives on December 8, 1991, in Milltown Park Institute, Dublin.

Here I would like to share a ‘prophetic’ dream which I had in September 1989, after my return from Glastonbury, England. In Glastonbury, on the Abbey grounds, from September 2-5, the Light Leader Robert Coon and I, had a four-day workshop The Mystery of Transfiguration. To a great extent the workshop was a continuation of the celebration of Harmonic Convergence from August 1987, but with many new themes, especially the glorification of the Divine Feminine. For this purpose, I led an extended Feminine Mandala Meditation (with appropriate music, mantras and prayers) in which we invoked the presence of many Personifications of the Divine Feminine such as Tara, Kuan Yin, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mataji, Zventa Sventana, the New Eve and others. The spiritual presence after our Feminine Mandala Meditation was so magnificent and powerful, that it was still felt many days after the event took place.

On the night after coming back to Dublin from Glastonbury, I had a remarkable dream. In this dream I found myself in a temple among many other people, praying and expecting a blessing from Heaven. A few moments later the contours of the temple remained, but we had the feeling of an open space. Then a most magnificent Rainbow appeared – one of the brightest and most beautiful I have ever seen in reality or in dreams. One segment of the rainbow transfigured itself into the living image of the Divine Mother holding a beautiful child. She shone with all colours of the Rainbow and radiated Divine Love, Compassion, Hope, Faith and Motherly Care. The people in the open ‘space-temple’, including myself, experienced great wonder, joy and ecstasy – the feelings of having witnessed a great miracle!

This dream was in fact a mystical vision born within the depths of my soul. It is well appreciated in Ireland that the spiritual body of the Divine Mother is living Rainbow Light. Soon I realised that the image of the Rainbow with the Holy Mother holding the child as part of it, was a symbol of the birth of the whole humankind as Rainbow People from the Universal Divine Mother.

Over the years this ‘prophetic dream’ developed into a great metaphysical picture of the coming reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth where New Humankind will live as Rainbow People on sacred Earth. In the Book of Revelation St. John witnessed: Then the One Who sits on the throne said: And now I make all things new! (Revelation 21:5) This is the Divine Act for the creation of the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth. In the New Reality a New Humankind will live – born from the Divine Mother, from the living Rainbow Light, radiating from the Throne of God (Revelation 4:5).

The appreciation of the Divine Feminine and especially of the Divine Mother is so important and crucial for our time, that later on in my book The Second Coming, the devotion to the Divine Feminine developed into a whole new Gospel, the Gospel of the Divine Mother!

 The Ancient Capital of Ireland, Tara, and the Holy City of Jerusalem

The Hill of Tara was the ancient Capital of Ireland. I visited Tara with friends many times. In one of my visits to Tara, I had a vision of a magnificent etheric Divine Temple built upon the whole area with a gigantic cosmic-spiritual Cross of Light at the centre of the Temple. The vertical axis of this Cross was a huge column of Light, filling the whole space and representing the vertical structure of Creation (as we know it from the Kabbalah). The horizontal axis of the Cross (it was actually a horizontal circle filling the entire cosmic-spiritual space) was the reality of the Kingdom of God with its many mansions (that is, all the different spiritual worlds revealed by the various world religions). Above the horizontal axis was the Throne of God with Metatron, sitting upon it. The walls of this gigantic, etheric Temple were living Light which shone with all the colours of the Rainbow, and in place of frescoes, the walls exposed the real presence of myriads of light beings – angels, archangels and many others. And all the Kingdoms of Life on Earth – the plants, animals and humans – were present in the Temple. It was a staggering vision of the Axis Mundi of the New Creation, revealing its mystery.

On a different visit, another spectacular vision appeared. It was the mythological Heavenly Jerusalem with all the Twelve Gates widely open (Revelation 21:25). Then from the Centre of the Heavenly Jerusalem, from the Absolute Origin of Being, ‘apocalyptic’ Divine Light radiated. The whole space was lit with dazzling Light and from the twelve mythological directions, the Divine Masters of humankind – Krishna, Hermes, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Lao Tze, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, the Master Beinsa Douno and others – appeared mystically and shone with great Divine light that merged with the Light of the ‘One Who sits on the throne’.

The celestial images of the Divine Masters appearing at the twelve gates of the Holy City, were emanations from G-d, the Cosmic-spiritual Sun at the centre of the Universe. At the same time, each one of them reflected the light of all the others in accordance with his own image and spiritual essence. This led to an illumination about the glorious appearance of all the Divine Masters simultaneously from the Centre of the New Jerusalem. Radiating from the Divine Centre of Creation as images of the Living God, they reflected the essence of each other, keeping however their own unique identity.

This was the reality of the New Heaven as the integral Light of all the Divine Masters, all Personifications of the Divine Feminine and all Initiates, connected with them, which radiated from the “One, Who sits on the Throne” as from a colossal Cosmic-spiritual Sun, enlightening the New Reality. In a similar way, as the Sun is at the base of all life on Earth, thus the Light, Love, Wisdom and Truth of this Cosmic-spiritual Sun is at the base of the co-creative life of the Enlightened humankind:

It is difficult to describe in words this apocalyptic vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem. This is the reality of the Kingdom of God with many mansions, where the mansions are the spiritual worlds of the religions, enlightened by the Divine Masters and all their followers. Tara was the old historical capital of Ireland; now every time when we activate the vibrations of the Heavenly Jerusalem above Tara, it would become the metaphysical Capital of Ireland.

The restoration of the Axis Mundi above Tara, made it a favourite place for pilgrimages and for ascending through the vertical structure of the Universe on Tara itself. For this purpose, often we used to go to Tara and start a meditative walk from the bottom of the hill to the top, gradually raising our consciousness from world to world. On Tara we also have symbols of various historical epochs (the Chamber, the Cross, the Stone, the Church) and we could make a ‘metahistorical’ journey as well, i.e. a journey from one to another historical epoch linking with their vibrations and spiritual essence.

The spiritual visions on Tara completed the rich celestial topography of Ireland with a spiritual Capital (Tara), spiritual University (Glendalough), sites for spiritual living (the monastic sites), sacred places for pilgrimages (Croagh Patrick) and other inspirational places. Thus the fusion between the earthly and celestial Ireland, with the River of Light in Glendalough, developed into a more detailed picture of Ireland, opening its ‘metaphysical’ and ‘metahistorical’ dimensions. In other words, the socio-cultural structure of human civilisation in Ireland developed into the integral earthly-celestial culture of cosmic life.

I would like to finish this article with an interesting personal story. I did not imagine for a moment, that I would celebrate my fiftieth birthday in Tara, but this is what happened. On August 15, 1991, my close friend Marie and I went to Tara where we celebrated my birthday, alone, but in the presence of many light beings! Truly, unknown are the ways of the Lord!
