BARONY OF CONNELLO UPPER

Ballyelan Ogham Stone 257

(October 13, 2025) Macalister reports that in 1837 that this stone lay beside a holy well about 1 mile south of of Knockfeerina, on the road from Rathkeale to Charleville being 7 miles from Rathkeale. John O'Keeffe, the portrait-painter heard of it from a man named Hall living at Rathkeale. The well was called, in English "Well of the Tub" and was held in great veneration. Its water would never be used except in cases of sickness. The name was supposed to be derived from a concealed tub of gold.

O'Keeffe wanted to take it away there and then and send it to Windele but Hall told him "he would be murdered if he touched it." Hall himself, however, having had his acquisitiveness stimulated by O'Keeffe's enthusiasm afterwards went and took it to his own home.

The stone was in Hall's possession in 1840 , when it was seen and sketched by Windele who described it as being 2′ 6″ long by 0' 7" thick. It afterwards became the property of a local "Philosophical Society" and was ultimately lost when that body went the way of all associations of the kind.

In English

Life-manifestations can be undecided. The Reed-boat (Ayu) can be fate-shifted. The fate-powers will nourish that (fate). Thu can expel activity for the irrigation-network's involvement.

Comment: Ayu is the crescent moon goddess who edits the life-network (irrigation network) which directs the fertility-fluids (life-powers) to earth which in turn manifest life. This text is stating that Ayu can be affected by fate but such fate can be shifted using human emotion magic. Significantly, the Druid Akkadian word "Tubu" associated with this well means "emotional arousal."

In English

Fertility-fluids are not affecting this. Openings can affect these Thu-power revelations. Emotions are not fate-shifting Thu. The Reed-boat (Ayu) is not being monitored.

Comment: Openings are channel openings through the life network. The text is stating that these fertility-fluid (life powers) are not affecting the effectiveness of this sacred grove which seems to involve rituals generating emotion-magic. Recent emotion magic rituals at this place seem to have been ineffective.

In English

Scarcity can affect these Thu powers. Don't reassign the fertility-fluids. Don't shift-fate.
Expulsions can emotionally-trigger confusion. Prodding can affect those astrology-magic-powers.

Comment: This sacred grove focused on emotion magic rituals but the magic generated here can be made ineffective by involving the life powers reassigning fertility-fluids and the motion powers of astrology-magic used to shift fate.
