This book re-assesses archaeological research into holy well sites in Ireland and the evidence for votive deposition at watery sites throughout northwest European prehistory. Ray examines a much-ignored and diminishing archaeological resource; moving beyond debates about the possible Celticity of these sites in order to gain a deeper understanding of patterns among sacred watery sites. The work considers how and why sacred springs are archaeologically-resistant sites and what has actually been found at the few excavated in Ireland. Drawing on the early Irish literature (the myths, hagiographies, penitentials and annals), the author gives an account of pre-Christian supermundane wells in Ireland and what we know about their early Christian use for baptism, and concludes by considering the origins of "rounding" rituals at holy wells. Table of Contents: 1: Water Veneration and Votive Deposition in Prehistoric Northern and Western Europe; 2: Iron Age Evidence, Continuity, and the "Celtic" Question; 3: Iron Age Water Deities4: Holy Wells and Sacred Springs as Archaeologically-Resistant Sites; 5: The Contested Origins and Materiality of Irish Holy Wells; 6: Supermundane Wells of the Iron Age and the Early Irish Literature; 7: Irish Sacred Wells of the Early Christian Era and the Conversion Model; 8: Sacred Springs and Conversion Strategies in Britain and on the Continent; 9: Christian Holy Wells and Baptism; 10: The Origins of Rounding and the Interconnectedness of Wells; Appendix A: Irish Excavation Reports of "holy wells" from Excavations.ie (as of June 2014); Appendix B: Holy Wells in the County Archaeological Inventories of Ireland

Pilgrimages to holy wells were common in medieval Christendom, and especially among Celtic peoples with their profound awareness of the Gods presence in creation. In the wider Christian tradition water is a symbol of life, grace and healing a gift of God, springing forth from the earth. Many parish churches were built close to wells which were used for baptism and for healing services. Today, interest in holy wells is resurgent. Regional guides, gazetteers and websites connected with holy wells are increasingly popular and thousands of pilgrims and walkers visit holy wells each year. This resource has been written in response to a demand for prayers and blessings to use at a holy well. It includes an introduction to the history and significance of holy wells, a wide variety of prayers and simple liturgies for individual pilgrims, groups and churches that are based near holy wells. It also includes a guide with GPS references to the principal holy wells in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Excerpt from The Holy Wells of Ireland: Containing an Authentic Account of Those Various Places of Pilgrimage and Penance Which Are Still Annually Visited by Thousands of the Roman Catholic Peasantry Before the Christian era, and afterwards appended to the rites and ceremonies enjoined by the Church of Rome in the darker ages of Christianity; and this more particularly as they have been the subject of serious animadversion by intelligent individuals travelling through our island. While, however, they are considered by some few intelligent Roman Catholic gentlemen in the light we have viewed them, and while one or two slight, though appar ently sincere attempts, have been made to suppress them, by some of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, the simple fact of numerous Holy Wells, Patterns.
