The Castlestrange stone is located in the grounds of “Castlestrange House” near Athleague in County Roscommon. It is a granite boulder decorated with flowing spirals in the La Tène style, dating from the Iron Age period between 500 BC and 100 AD.
It is believed that there was a strong Continental influence in Ireland at the time, which the carver was imitating.
Only three other stones of this type have been found in Ireland, of which the Turoe stone in County Galway is the best known. The use of the stones is not known but it is assumed they served some religious or ritual purpose.
The stone is a protected National Monument.

my emotions

i swear this guy restores my hope in humanity

This made me want to cry.

This guy… needs all the girls in the world… and make amazing, amazing babies. If he was my son, I’d be the proudest fuckin’ mom in the world.

I didn’t even think that the guy who needed help was Muslim until he mentioned it 0_0

Anyways, that guy is a sweet heart. By just looking at him and listening to the “accent” he has, you would think other wise, but he’s right—you can’t really judge everyone by what they look like.

I like the alchemy transmutation circle 

brb going to cry forever in joy, what a guy
