Astrology & Sacred Sites: the Hill of Uisneach
“The Hill of Uisneach consists of numerous monuments and earthworks—prehistoric and medieval—including a probable megalithic tomb, burial mounds, enclosures, standing stones, holy wells and a medieval road. Uisneach is near the geographical centre of Ireland and in Irish mythology it is deemed to be the symbolic and sacred centre of the island ” (wikipedia article)
The Catstone on the Hill of Uisneach is said to be the mystical center of Ireland, the gateway to the fifth province “Meath” where all four provinces come together or the “omphalos” (Delphi) or navel of Ireland.
The hill was an important site for Druidical ceremonies especially the Bealtaine. In the Lebor Gabála Érenn (Book of the Takings of Ireland) a colllection of poems first written in 11th century the Nemedian Druid Mide lit the first Bealtaine fire here.
Uisneach was the seat of the high kings of Ireland in the times before they resided at the Hill of Tara. See the list of the Kings of Uisneach.
In a popular tradition the goddess Ériu sometimes considered the personification and namegiver (mother) of Ireland met the Milesians at Uisenach where they promised to give her name to the island.
