A Reconciliation of Light
A Reconciliation of Light explores the play of light in the heart of the Emerald Isle. The author provides a firsthand account of her mystical experiences in the woods of Ireland along with 52 photographs from the Soul of Ireland collection. On the morning of September 9, 2016, I set out in the Irish fog and rain, as guided by my soul and my intuitive and spiritual guidance, to participate in what I was shown was a "Reconciliation of Light." I returned to the same sacred wood where some of my favorite photos of light breaking through the woods were taken during my year living in County Roscommon, Ireland. The photographs in this Soul of Ireland collection were taken in 2015 and 2016 in this region of the Emerald Isle.Enjoy this collection of photographs that capture magic and mystery from the soul of Ireland.
