Mystique, Myth and Magic- the magical, mystical story of Newgrange

The many names of Newgrange echoing down the millenia, are a vivid reminder of its powerful association with the gods

and godesses of Ireland’s pagan past. Long before the coming of the Celts, over 5,000 years ago Neolithic farmers

designed and constructed this extraordinary monument in honour of a religion whose beliefs we can only guess at today.

But we do know that the early Irish literature identifies Newgrange as the abode of Oengus, son of Dagda, the good god,

and chief deity of the pre-Celtic pantheon. Which, in the light of recent discoveries may well be the key that unlocks the

central mystery of Newgrange and answers finally the questions that have puzzled scholars for centuries..
