Have you kissed the Blarney Stone?

Have you kissed the Blarney stone? Blarney Castle, Built nearly six hundred years ago by one of Ireland’s greatest chieftans, Cormac MacCarthy. It has been attracting attention ever since. Over the last few hundred years, millions have flocked to Blarney. Therefore, making it a world landmark and one of Ireland’s greatest treasures. That might have something to do with the Blarney Stone. This legendary Stone of Eloquence is found at the top of our tower.

The Blarney Stone is a legendary piece of stone set in the wall of Blarney Castle, near Cork, Ireland. It has been the site of many legends and myths for centuries, but the most famous one is that those who kiss the stone will receive the gift of eloquence. This legend dates back to at least 1564, with the first official mention of kissing the stone as a way to receive a blessing or favour.

Since then, many have made pilgrimages to Blarney Castle in order to kiss the stone and experience its magical powers. It is said that those who kiss the stone will experience a special kind of happiness, have an easier time convincing others of their points of view, and will be blessed with heightened creativity.

The act of kissing the stone is a unique experience, as it requires visitors to lie on their backs and bend over backwards to access the small space where the stone is located. Though this can seem daunting, many have found the effort to be worth it once they’ve felt the power of the stone.

Kissing the Blarney Stone is a unique experience and one that is steeped in legend and mystery. Have you kissed the Blarney Stone? If not, it might be time to plan your own pilgrimage to Cork and feel its magical powers for yourself. Who knows — maybe you’ll be the next person to benefit from the Stone’s mysterious energies!

We would have kissed the Blarney Stone if we hadn’t been there just before the closing time of the castle which implied crossing on our way one of the employees counting and recounting an enormous amount of banknotes … so we definitely decided it was a purely commercial deed …
