Jackie Queally ~ Celtic Trails Guide, Author, Dowsing Expert and Healer



As a spiritual healer and reflexology teacher I always had an affinity with the land, particularly in what is generally known as the Celtic nations. I started Celtic Trails up in 1999 in Edinburgh in Scotland as there was so much fascinating history and undiscovered sites on my doorstep! My first tours were the Merlin tour (Merlin blesses my work), Rosslyn Chapel and the Knights Templar, the Celtic saints of East Lothian, Cairnapple (Scotland's Stonehenge), Old abbeys and legends of the Borders and last but not least Ancient Edinburgh. 

I started each tour with an introductory talk in which clearly I was guided by invisible energies. It built up a great positive bond between those participating and helped set the tone for the day. These day tours were a great success and after nine years I wanted a sabbatical. By then I had written a number of small booklets on the legends and history and ley lines of the region. I also had written two esoteric guides to Rosslyn Chapel see Celtic Trails Books.  

I was the original external guide to this beautiful temple of initiation. Here is an enjoyable and insightful interview recently conducted with me on the subject that will give an interesting introduction to the subject:

So for my sabbatical I came to Ireland where I wrote Arks Within Grail Lands that sums up an energy system that is reflected in earth grids on both a global and a galactic scale. The Reshel (mystic William Buehler’s term) works with many strata of inner earth beings as well as high angelic energies. I first taught a five day workshop in the synergy light work attached to this research in Rosslyn. Many experts in shamanism and angelic work came and over the years I had taught many people in small groups this specialist form of meditation to link with the high realms. Then in Ireland I continued this work for the first few years setting up small nucleus groups in Uisneach, Ennis, Kinvara and Gort in Galway. 

During this period I developed an in depth knowledge of the Burren where my father was born on its southern edge (near Lahinch). I attended many talks and explored the land. I had been donated an intricate earth grid to work with by geometer Anthony Peart whose research features in Arks within Grail Lands to begin with. I knew one day this knowledge would be applied in service to others but I had to bide my time and learn new skills to the tour guiding and writing and reflexology teaching I used to engage in. I first learnt to do a deep massage based on acupuncture and other eastern modalities. I was already versed in spiritual healing and sensed that the land and one’s whole body (including auric fields) was one interconnected temple in terms of energy, each with the ability to affect the other.

 After having trained in a form of vibrational healing taught by the inventor of that term Fabien Maman who is a musician and acupuncturist I realized more and more how vibration was the key to all understanding. So I applied that knowledge gained in “sound acupuncture” to the land and wrote a book about the Five Elements and the Burren Landscape. (The Burren is a beautiful and unique natural landscape in the west of Ireland covering part of Clare and Galway.) The title is Spirit of the Burren (to be released Fall of 13) and I have created an interesting and stimulating presentation to accompany it. This truly unique book concludes with a message that is inspiring as the Reshel earth grid discovered there links to the very high realms. Parallel to this activity I started creating films of my favourite nature sites. I am blessed living in an area beset with underground rivers and caves as the river weaves her way both above and below the limestone here-this is the earliest part of the Burren. Sometimes I give performances of these films to music created by a composer friend. I recite my nature poems to the scenes and it clearly moves the audiences. I also have written two poetry books on nature (Tree Murmurs and Eternal Elements).
My other “arm” is dowsing as this applies to ley lines and earth grids I have worked with since the late 1990s in a deep, multi-dimensional way. I also have healed using dowsing and so I conduct workshops in both dowsing on the land and for healing/health. 

The next workshop is to be held in the Slieve Aughty Riding Centre on November 8th and 9th in East Galway. This has a lovely new purpose-built building. For 75 euros per day you have an organic lunch and refreshments too.
 

For 2014 onwards I am focusing on creating more extended tours of both Ireland and Scotland- I did some ranging from 2 days to 9 days last year. Based on presentations I have on Rosslyn Chapel I have created a five day tour taking in Roslin Glen, Rosslyn Chapel, the wilder and sacred sites of Edinburgh, and the mystical sites of Glen Lyon in Highland Perthshire. All these connect via strong leys that carry the elixir of the Golden Cup of the Grail tradition that I will explain.  In Ireland I prefer to focus on the Burren naturally and can add sites in County Sligo or the Boyne Valley in the main. 
All these activities are linked to one another: the dowsing, the talks, the tours and the relevant books. I welcome any questions or inquiries about my work. jackiequeally@gmail.com  I hope you can join me in spirit or in person on any of my guided tours or day workshops.

Lastly, thank you to this new blog Sacred Ireland Portal created by Cara Gardner who is contributing to sharing the healing and sacred energy of Ireland with a wider audience. I hope to work with her for posterity and furthering the sacred work we all engage in.
