“Most people have no idea that the information they are being fed on a number of key topics is constantly subject to manipulation and spin.” John Waters.
In The Abolition of Reality, John Waters describes not just what happened but the meaning of what happened, in the course of what may well be judged by history - if there is a historiographical record of the times to come - as the most heinous crime of all time.
The Hill of Tara, is one of the most symbolic sites in Ireland’s spiritual and political landscape. Set against the long shadows and golden glow of midsummer on the Eve of St. John.
With clarity and conviction, The Abolition of Reality documents not just recent Irish history, but a spiritual struggle for reality itself. On this night, under open skies where high kings once stood, we gather to listen, to reckon, and to hope in this ancient place of assembly.
A reclaiming of truth, tradition, and the sacred in an age of inversion – on the Eve of St. John, a night of fire and vision.
This coming Midsummer’s Eve, from 7pm on the ancient Feast of St. John — 23 June 2025 — you are invited to a profound evening of reflection, renewal, and revelation on the Hill of Tara, Ireland’s most sacred and storied ground.
