Irish healing well springs anew


An Irish healing well, lost since being filled in on the instructions of local churchmen in the 1930s, has been linked with a number of extraordinary healings since its sudden reappearance in spring 1996.

Benjamin Douglas, a dairy farmer near Ballivor in the Boyne Valley, northwest of Dublin, Ireland, was alerted to a 'hole full of water' by his son Ian.

On investigation, he discovered a large crater with water bubbling out of it in the corner of one of his fields. He began pumping the water away and excavated the crater and the area around it with a mechanical digger. Hours later, the water level had dropped sufficiently to reveal a rock cavern, 30 feet by 20 feet wide and more than 15 feet deep. The following morning it was full of water again.

Mr Douglas's local research revealed that there had been a healing well there before which was used by a local herbalist and healer. On her death, Mr Douglas's grandfather had filled the well at the request of local church elders, to prevent it being used for 'pagan' healing practices.

Mr Douglas introduced the water to different healers to evaluate its healing properties and positive feedback was soon reported: increased tolerance of the effects of chemotherapy; glandular problems and alcoholism cured; relief from heart complaints. In particular, Thomas, a 13-year-old boy suffering from cystic fibrosis (a progressive disease in which excessive mucus in the lungs restricts breathing) began drinking more than a litre of the water daily as part of his treatment. Less than eight weeks after beginning the water treatment, Thomas was well enough to run up steps.

Mr Douglas has secured the well under cover of a stone cairn building and continues to research the water's healing properties.
