  1. How? What? Don't really understand the question....


  2. "In Irish myth, wells and springs are depicted as originating in the Otherworld."

    "It was believed that drinking from these holy waters or bathing in them would bestow the power of the Otherworld in the form of poetic inspiration, wisdom, or healing. In pagan Ireland, the wells were visited at special times of the year"

    "many sites actually consist of three elements: the well, spring, or other water source; a sacred tree - usually very large and very old; and a hill or standing stone." " Many Christian churches were constructed near pagan wells, and the early Celtic church used them for baptism until the Roman church replaced them with the font inside the building."

    You can see pictures of some of them at the site below.
