One of my Holy wells is definitely the river by my house. There I have taken my grief, anger, and fear as well as my gratitude and my joy. The river is in a way a baptismal place that rocks me back and forth time and time again washing away many burdens. The other is my garden. The cycle of life revealed is quite magical.
The wells of Ireland are magical and everywhere on that small island. I was able to make a pilgrimage to many on the west coast in the year 2000. I'm so glad you were able to make this journey, Maija.
There is an excellent study that was done perhaps in the early 90s--you probably already know about it. It's called Crossing the Circle at the Holy Wells of Ireland. https://www.amazon.ca/Crossing-Circle-Holy-Wells-Ireland/dp/0813915481 It's such a thorough rendering of the subject.
