Happy St Nicholas's Day for all the people in tune with their Catholic faith and/or inner child. Or whoever else celebrates it.

Such a peaceful place: St Clether Holy Well Chapel, Cornwall — a sacred place where ley lines cross and history runs deep. A hidden gem, preserved through centuries on the wild edge of Bodmin Moor. #StClether #HolyWell #Cornwall #Heritage

Tucked behind the church in a quiet field, St David’s Holy Well still flows today. Steeped in history, it feeds the Davidstow Creamery—home of Davidstow & Cathedral City cheese. A hidden gem of Cornwall.

I've been away from here for a while working flat out on a book design. My wife has visited and recorded all of the 358 holy wells in County Cork and has written a book about them. It has been a long journey but the book is promised to be off the press in a few days. You can read about it at https://wildwayspress.com and there's a pre-launch offer if you are interested.

Are there any fans of holy wells on here? 💧

This is Lady’s Well in Hempsted in Gloucestershire, which I visited recently. The little building around it is 14th century, and on the back is a carving of St Anne. It has a beautiful view over the Severn valley towards the Forest of Dean.

#GothicAdvent Day 5:

The Dropping Rock #Sacred Spring and #HolyWell is one of those mysterious and ancient places that hide away on the #IsleOfWight. The #CunningFolk of the island believe it received its name because was one of the places where the ancient #Devil #Stones was dismantled. The stones were worked and turned into the well and the Dropping Rock arch.

They say that it was in the deepest and darkest time of the year that works started to dismantle the Devil Stone. As they lay the rocks in formation and they touched the holy water, each stone screamed as the water bound the evil within.

Dropping, and dropping, through fern and through heather,
E'en in the summer noon's sultriest weather;
Still the hard rock is its water bestowing,
Where the rank weeds germ, and the rushes are growing.

Gently and evenly falls the clear shower,
The work of a mighty, invisible power;
Streaming not, running not—dropping alone,
Through the centuries past, and the long ages flown. -- The Vecta Garland 1860

Good morning Mastodon world! Happy Saturday! Sending weekend vibes from a rather cloudy Cornwall this morning! 🌊☁️🤩 #Cornwall #Kernow #Holywell #weathercloud #ocean #weekendvibes

#Sacred wells and #springs, left without repair and marked only by rotting timber stakes. These are the magical places that the land remembers and will only be revealed to us when we stumble upon them.

Respect them and give them your offerings freely. — Cunning Aunty Faith

Saint Nectan's Kieve is a #ClootieWell (#HolyWell), located near #Tintagel in #Cornwall. Clootie wells are places of pilgrimage usually found in Celtic areas where small strips of cloth or ribbons are left as part of a healing ritual. The basin was also surrounded by #CoinTrees where offerings were pushed into the wet logs in the hopes of having a wish granted, or a prayer answered, by a nature spirit, saint or goddess.

A few pics from @yourfriendem & I's trip this yr.

Hello Mastodon

wellhopper signing in - I tend to post a lot about the wells of North Wales - and there's more on my website wellhopper.wales

But also interested in the churches and graveyards of the area, and much else weird and wonderful that i find along the way.

One of my favourite local landmarks, St. Patrick’s Holy Well just near the village of Marlfield outside Clonmel in South Tipperary.

It's so beautiful and peaceful there, especially at this time of year (though perhaps not so much on a bleak rainy day like today!)
