Newgrange is perhaps the best known of the great megalithic monuments in Eire. Bru Na Boinne is rich in ancient symbols the most significant being the triple spiral. Some of our ancient texts refer to New grange as a burial place for our kings and possibly high Druids as well as a place of ceremony and worship.

The light box above the doorway to the tumulus allows the winter sunrise on the morning of the winter solstice to shine a beautiful light along the passageway and illuminate the chamber inside, this happens over a period of three days. The only other light that enters the Brugh is the light of Venus at specific intervals of time. The light of Venus shines a steel Blue kind of colour while the sunlight illuminates the interior in a red colour. The Brugh is also associated with the legend of Tea - (Ta) like the Japanese legend of Heavens cave.

The Tuatha de danaan created the mound at New Grange as a gateway to the other world where lived 3 times fifty sons of great kings / the lords of light. They ate the fruit of 3 great trees and drank from the cauldron of eternal knowledge. Within this mystical realm no one ever died. Elcmar and his wife Boannd lived in the Bru Elcmar’s palace which was eventually taken by the dagda, the father of the Gods also known as Ruad Rufhessa the God of wisdom.

Ruad Rufhessa sent Elcmar on a one day mission which he stretched to nine months using his mastery over time. He then lay with Boannd and to them was born the god of love Aongas the young because he was conceived and born in one mystical day.

The light that illuminates the inner chamber of the Bru marks the beginning of the lengthening of days at the mid winter solstice making Aongas a personification of this beautiful light. Ruad Rufhessa offered Aongas a gift that he can live in the Bru for one day and one night but Aongas says that as Ruad Rufhessa is the master of time itself then a day and a night encompass the whole world forever. Ruad Rufhessa agrees and Aongas became a resident in the Bru Na Boinne palace of the Boyne. The Bru is referred to in the ancient literature as Bru Mac ind Oc the magical land of the youthful son
