Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Granardkill

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo is not a victim. She is the mother tongue, birthed through the chamber of the candidate's own body. The chamber is not a cage. It is a birth canal. The candidate is not in danger. The candidate is in the process of becoming human. Everything that feels like loss is the death of the fake self. Everything that feels like pressure is the birth of the real self.
