What was set aside long ago is ready now.
Honey gathered when the fields were alive.
Water drawn and kept clean.
Time given freely, without force.

Mead is not hurried.
It ferments in darkness.
It waits while other things fall away.
It becomes itself only by being left alone.

This is how the old ones marked the turning.
Not with noise, but with readiness.
Not with demands, but with trust.

Tonight, the fire is fed.
The wheel turns.
The light begins its slow return.

What was tended holds.
What was kept is enough.

Shared as a traditional recipe and reflection. There are many modern variations and readers are encouraged to explore what works best for them.

Did you know?
The Celtic Knot is one of the oldest and most powerful symbols of Irish and Celtic culture. Its endless looping lines have no beginning and no end, representing eternity, interconnectedness, and the continuity of life across generations.

Long before it appeared in famous manuscripts like the Book of Kells, Celtic knots were carved into stone crosses, jewellery, weapons, and metalwork by ancient craftsmen. Each design was deliberate, meant to protect, guide, and tell a story without words.

Over time, the Celtic Knot made its way from monasteries and high crosses onto the big screen.

In The Book of Kells, the knotwork comes alive as a visual language, symbolising spirituality, protection, and Ireland’s early Christian heritage.

In Braveheart, Celtic patterns appear throughout costumes and body markings to evoke ancient identity and resistance, even if the history is dramatised.

And in The Boondock Saints, the Celtic Knot is used as a modern symbol of brotherhood, loyalty, and Irish diaspora identity, carried far from Ireland’s shores.

From ancient stone carvings to modern cinema, the Celtic Knot continues to tell the Irish story. A reminder that no matter how far we travel, we are always connected to where we come from.
