Paganism is the original religion of this land
A full time pagan priest wants the theft of a statue of the Irish God of the Sea Manannán Mac Lír to be treated as a hate crime.
Patrick Carberry, who says he left his job as a chef to become a full time “Traditional Celtic Shamanic priest”, said the theft of the statue was a religious hate crime committed against people of his faith.
After the spectacular statue was stolen from the viewing point at Gortmore on Binevenagh mountain, a wooden cross along with the words ‘you shall have no other Gods before me’ was found in its place.
Patrick Carberry is the founder and Sovereign of the Order of the Golden River, based in Belfast.
