Lovely cooling piece Victoria. It's hot already here in Kerry and the beach will be visited later today to cool down. We have lots of pre-christian and christian wells in Ireland too. People hang rags in trees beside the well, a bit like a Maypole tradition.
That’s such a lovely idea.
Such a beautiful idea to create a well dressing - thank you so much for this! 🌸🌿💙
Beautiful. Thank you, Vicky.

Hi Victoria,
Ice Cold, a poem for you today
Thank you! And happy solstice! 🌞
Love this! I might have to make one for our nearby water spot. Heatwave coming here in the States as well!
Stay cool! 🌊

I love this tradition too! Hope you had a nice cooling dip in the sea 🌊
I grew up somewhere (Staffordshire / Derbyshire moorlands) that still did well dressings.
I’m currently writing a piece on water initiations so this is top of my mind at the moment. Thanks for the reminder to revere the rivers 💦🌊💧
Always wise to respect the river spirits! Look forward to reading yours! 🌊
