&q...From my book "The Ballad of Fedelm":<br /><br />"Driving a chariot drawn by two white-winged stallions, Fedelm was armed with sword and dagger strapped to either side of her leather belt. She held a silver staff with gold inlay in one hand and the reins in the other. Her long black and white gown of zebra print silk had a slit running up the right side to mid-thigh. Over this she wore a scarlet cloak, while a red cape with the hood thrown back covered her shoulders. The latter two garments were trimmed in ermine. On her feet were a pair of sandals with gold clasps. A garland of flowers adorned her hair. Her traveling companion was a sinewy, coal black jaguar with alert green eyes, which she had befriended at the otherworld known as Oweynagat or Cave of the Cats. More on that later. . . <br /><br />"Fedelm drove her chariot to the aforementioned otherworld known as Oweynagat or Cave of the Cats. It was here that she had befriended the jaguar, and it was a dimensional portal for faeries, elves and leprechauns as well as for some of her fellow Dananns residing in Middle Earth. In addition, various enchanted felines, both large and small, lived there. Hence its name. After bidding farewell to her friends, she left the Emerald Isle traveling first to Tír na n-Óg, where she had a chance to catch up with many of her long-lost friends and relatives on the Blessed Isle. However, with so much of the world still to see, she journeyed to distant lands and further adventures far away across the seas."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656414852797299994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-40080816111491689102011-03-15T15:26:47.132-07:002011-03-15T15:26:47.132-07:00Hello and welcome Kilkennycat.

Ratzinger was quoted at the time as saying "If I had the chance I would drop the idea of Limbo"<br /><br /> Pope Benedict XVI has decreed that “limbus infantium” is no more, that means it has been formally abolished by the Catholic Church. The status of “limbus patrum”, where those “good people” went who were unfortunate enough to have died before the coming of Christ, on the other hand, remains… well, in limbo, so to speak.<br /><br />In 2006 a report by the catholic church stated ‘'There is greater theological awareness today that God is merciful and wants all human beings to be saved.<br /><br />British priest Father Paul McPartlan, who helped compile the report, added: 'We cannot say we know with certainty what will happen to unbaptised children. But we have good grounds to hope that God in his mercy and love looks after these children, and brings them to salvation.'<br /><br />As a pagan I am happy with our concept of the summerlands. I do not wish to offend any Catholic/Christian and hope you find items of interest as you search through the posts contained here. Keep dropping in and I'm glad you have taken time to comment. Hope the above provides a clearer insight to the present status of Limbo.SilentOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840406804609589655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-88314309394628376972011-03-15T14:36:45.700-07:002011-03-15T14:36:45.700-07:00Have not officially heard that the place of Limbo ...Have not officially heard that the place of Limbo is abandoned.

This has been where the souls of unbaptised babies were said to be condemned for the past 800 years (Catholic church doctrine). As if griefing parents did not have enough to contend with. The idea of limbo has now been abandoned by the Pope. Apologies for the past 800 years has not yet been forthcoming.<br />SilentOwl.SilentOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840406804609589655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-27510405999791197822011-03-13T03:51:52.493-07:002011-03-13T03:51:52.493-07:00Thank you for a wonderful introduction to this sit...Thank you for a wonderful introduction to this site - really interesting.

I have always felt that the idea of purgatory was offensive to me, for among the souls waiting to enter heaven were the souls of children born out of wedlock or those unable to obtain the last rites as well as other innocents. I wonder how Jesus Christ would view the rules of a religion that professes to represent him??? Or am I being simplistic?SilentOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840406804609589655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-71901958878011990982011-03-11T23:23:36.482-08:002011-03-11T23:23:36.482-08:00"The Christian monk’s called this cave ‘The g...<i>"The Christian monk’s called this cave ‘The gateway to hell’ as they were supposed to believe that devils and spirits dwelt there."</i><br /><br />As well, I believe that the entrance to Purgatory has been tentatively located on Station Island in Lough Derg, County Donegal.Makarioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392249532355639518noreply@blogger.com
