One of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Caer was an Irish Celtic otherworldly, earth goddess and swan maiden revered for her beauty. Fair Breasted Yew Berry, Shapely Bosom Golden Berry, Purely Flowing Healing Waters, Raspberry Blossom Heart, and Star of Knowledge, she was a Celtic Shaman who was also a skilled baker, embroiderer, spinner, and patroness of music magic and prophetic dreaming. During the Dreaming, she met As a young maiden during the Dreaming, she met the who immediately fell in love with her. When he awoke, the love he still felt for her in his heart was so intense that Aengus searched far and wide for her, even enlisting the help of others. Finally someone told him where he might find her. When Aengus arrived at the Lake of the Dragon's Mouth, he picked her out from amongst 150 other maidens. Caer was transformed into a swan once a year on November 1st. Aengus was told that he would win her hand in marriage if he was able to identify her as a swan.
On that day, he called out
to his love on the water and once he identified Caer, Aengus transformed himself into a swan and swam out to join her on her spiritual
journey as her handfasted soulmate. As they flew off together, they sang such a
beautifully harmonically resonant duet of joyous celebration that all who heard them sing fell asleep for three
days and three nights.
The Sacred Sites focal points of Hierarch Caer and the Fourth Ray of Wisdom Integration are Trillium Lake, Mount Hood Oregon, which forms a picturesque backdrop for the City of Portland, and, Dowth, which is located in the Boyne River Valley in County Meath, Ireland. The 11, 239 ft high, snow capped Mount Hood is Oregon's highest peak; and; with the growth and collapse of its many lava domes over the last 30,000 years, it is also one of the major Cascade Range volcanoes. Part of the Mount Hood Wilderness Area, the mountain is a popular scenic and recreational resource year round. Hierarch Caer shares the Mount Hood Sacred Site focal point with her soulmate husband Hierarch Aengus, also a Hierarch of the Fourth Ray. Mount Hood also serves as the Heart Fourth Chakra of the planetary divinity bridge and the etheric higher dimensional human body light body matrix.

Hierarch Caer occasionally visits the Dowth Sacred Site focal point which she shares with her soulmate husband Hierarch Aengus. Dowth, a megalithic Sacred Mound, was located on the north bank of the Boyne river, a couple of miles from the Slane to Drogheda road on the west end of a long ridge two kilometres east of Newgrange in County Meath, Ireland. Believed to be the oldest of the three Boyne Valley passage chambers (Dowth, Knowth, Newgrange), with a height of fifteen metres and a diameter of eighty-five metres, Dowth was also built around the same timeframe, more than 5,000 years ago. The ancient site of two Passage Chambers, Dowth radiates an Otherworldly tranquility and an interrelated spirituality with the surrounding Natural World landscape despite its legendary status as the "Fairy Mound of Darkness". Once there was an immense henge close to Dowth, as well as, numerous nearby Sacred Mound passage chambers. The two Passage Chambers of Dowth (Dowth North and Dowth South) had lower roofs and shorter passages than either Newgrange or Knowth. Dowth North had an eight metre passage that lead to a cruciform orthostat chamber with three recesses symbolizing Triplication. After travelling down a passage that first turned right and then turned left, Celts had to cross three sill stones to gain access to an Otherworld alcove. Dowth South passage, which had a right hand recess with Celtic sun wheel talisman engravings, had a three and half metre long passage with a collapsed corbelled vault roof that was replaced by a concrete one and a circular chamber. The Kerbstone by the entrance had a spiral engraving. The spiraling, swirling patterns which the Celts utilized to express their spiritual connectivity with the sacred mysteries, mirrored the inspirational beauty and harmony of the Natural World. From two to four in the afternoon on the Winter Solstice days, the setting sun illuminated the passage and the engraved stone at the back of the chamber. On the beautifully engraved, astronomical calendar Kerbstone 51 at Dowth, these seven Pleiadian star sisters were depicted as seven sun wheel stars radiating light from their Heartcores. The path of the Sun of this solar system along the ecliptic during the Spring Equinox in 3000 BCE in the Boyne Valley crossed the celestial equator and signaled the start of the new astrological age of Taurus.
Higher than either Knowth or Newgrange with a
top eighty-seven metres above sea level, the Dowth Sacred Mound was cruelly
desecrated during an 1847 excavation. The Dowth Sacred Mound stones were also
relentlessly quarried. Almost half of the stones have been removed leaving
behind a mammoth wound that continued the grim legacy of its Irish name "Dubad" which
means "Darkness". To learn more about Dowth please see
