There’s a lot of misinformation online about this rock in Kilcatherine on the Beara peninsula. So much so, that the rock is now regularly polluted by votive ‘offerings’ left by tourists and ‘seekers’ who don’t really understand its cultural context or the reason behind its evolution to fame.
Last month I started the next novel in the ‘Beara’ Series in which An Chailleach Bhéara plays a large part. Hopefully, at the same time, I can also make it a bit easier for those who come to Beara to actually understand what they’re looking at.
I’ll be giving an update on that in Vóg (the monthly Irish Imbas newsletter).
