Druid Stones Postcard from Blarney Castle

Description

“Druid Stones” – Blarney Castle, Blarney, Ireland Post Card – Collector’s Photo Postcard. John Hinde LTD. “Druid Stones – Rock Close is rich in Druid heritage and here you can see stones that formed an Ancient Druid circle and even a sacrificial altar. It is claimed that when standing inside a circle, evil spirits cannot hurt you. Snakes played a central role in many of these mystical rites. It is said that this is why St. Patrick was keen to so famously banish them.” “Blarney Castle & Rock Close Gardens: situated 7 km from Cork City is famous for its stone which has the traditional power of conferring eloquence on all who kiss it. The word “Blarney” has found its way into the English language and has been described as pleasant talk intended to deceive without offending. The famous stone is set into the wall below the battlements and to kiss it one has to lean backwards (grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk. www.blarneycastle.ie) Souvenir: Previously owned, very good condition.
