Secret Ireland Tours to join forces with the wonderful, delightful,  psychic-medium DeEtte Ranae.

Introduction to DeEtte Ranae:

I am awaking the sole within I am the owner of "DeEtte Ranae".  I am  a Rieki Master/Teacher, Magnified Healer, Intuitive friend, and  Energy readings.  I was born knowing spirit.  I spent my childhood listening to spirit and simply knowing things.  Without a role model to help guide me I spent a great deal of time in quiet pondering and reading books. In 2005, I began studying energy and became a reiki master/teacher. I found a love of helping those with illness live a fuller life and for others, a return to health. I have spent the past 12 years developing my own style – broadening from physical healing to body, mind, and spirit, including present and past life. In 2013, I moved to the North Woods of Wisconsin to begin a journey of healing and growth. Through the studying of psychic, mediumship I experienced a life transformation.  I discovered a deep love working for spirit and became certified in advanced psychic and advanced mediumship through LWISSD. I have merge my two loves, energy work and mediumship, developing into a medical intuitive medium. I also do private readings and healings, gallery readings, run medium circles and I am honored to help guide others along their journey into their work with spirit. I am blessed to have been given these gifts, and am in love with the work I do. I look forward to being part of your journey.

Malahide Castle:

We pick you up at terminal 2 at 9am and bring you to our first stop with is Malahide Castle,  The original stronghold built on the lands was a wooden fortress but this was eventually superseded by a stone structure on the site of the current Malahide Castle. Over the centuries, rooms and fortifications were added, modified and strengthened until the castle took on its current form. It has a West Garden, walled garden, Butterfly house and a fairy garden along with all the ghosts that the Castle has itself. 

This castle have been occupied by many people over the years but today it is said to be occupied by at least 5 ghosts, one of whom is Puck. A faithful servant to the owner, he wanted to serve in the Castles army but was to short in stature so he was placed as a look-out on watch. He fell asleep on the very night that the Castle was attacked and he could not forgive himself so he killed himself because of the shame, or so the story goes. There is also a love story about Puck and one of the daughters of high society visitors that used to visit the Castle. 

Christchurch Cathedral:

Christ Church Cathedral, towering over the heart of medieval Dublin, is one of the city’s most iconic and historically rich landmarks. Founded around 1030 by Norse King Sitric Silkenbeard, the cathedral has stood witness to nearly a millennium of Irish history, from Viking invasions to Norman conquests and beyond. Its stunning Gothic and Romanesque architecture reflects centuries of additions and restorations, including work led by the famous Victorian architect George Edmund Street. Beneath the cathedral lies a vast 12th-century crypt—one of the oldest and largest in Britain or Ireland—home to fascinating artifacts, historic tombs, and even a mummified cat and rat, famously discovered in an organ pipe. Whether you're drawn by its religious heritage, architectural splendor, or quirky curiosities, Christ Church offers a captivating glimpse into Dublin’s layered past.

Temple Bar:

Temple Bar, Dublin’s vibrant cultural quarter, is a lively maze of cobbled streets packed with energy, history, and charm. By day, it buzzes with street performers, art galleries, quirky shops, and local markets; by night, it transforms into the city’s epicenter for nightlife, with traditional pubs, live music, and flowing Guinness. Though it dates back to the medieval era, Temple Bar has reinvented itself as a creative hub, hosting institutions like the Irish Film Institute and the Gallery of Photography. Its colorful buildings and bohemian spirit make it a favorite for both locals and visitors seeking an authentic slice of Dublin’s artistic soul and lively craic. We will also pop down to visit the most haunted pub in Ireland, The Brazenhead pub for a pint or two!

Powerscourt Gardens:

In 1844, at the age of 8,  Mervyn Wingfield, 7th Viscount Powerscourt inherited the title and the Powerscourt Estate, which comprised  (77 sq mi) of land in Ireland. When young Lord Powerscourt reached the age of 21, he embarked on an extensive renovation of the house and created the new gardens.

Main attractions in the grounds include the Tower Valley (with stone tower), Japanese gardens, winged horse statues,Triton Lake, pet cemetery, Dolphin Pond,  walled gardens, Bamberg Gate and the Italian Garden. The Pepperpot Tower is said to be designed after a favoured 3-inch pepperpot of Lady Wingfield. Of particular note is the Pets Cemetery, whose tombstones have been described as "astonishingly personal".

Glendalough:

:Nestled in a serene glacial valley in County Wicklow, Glendalough is a hauntingly beautiful monastic site founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin, a hermit priest seeking solitude in nature. Over time, it blossomed into one of Ireland’s most important early Christian settlements, attracting pilgrims, scholars, and monks from across Europe. Today, its atmospheric ruins—towering round tower, stone churches, ancient crosses, and holy wells—stand amid lush woodlands and tranquil lakes, offering a powerful sense of spiritual stillness. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough is not just a place of history, but a timeless sanctuary where nature and faith have harmoniously coexisted for over 1,400 years.

Hill of Tara:

The Hill of Tara, rising gently from the Meath countryside, is one of the most mystical and historically significant sites in Ireland. Once the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland, Tara was a sacred center of power, legend, and ceremony for centuries. Steeped in mythology, it is said to be the dwelling place of the gods and home to the Lia Fáil, or Stone of Destiny, which would roar when touched by the rightful king. The site is dotted with ancient earthworks, ring forts, and burial mounds dating back as far as the Neolithic era, offering a deep connection to Ireland’s prehistoric and Celtic past. Standing atop Tara, one can see sweeping views of the surrounding counties, evoking the majesty and mystery that made this hill a spiritual and political heart of ancient Ireland.

Belvedere House:

The house was initially built by Robert Rochfort as a retreat, having incarcerated his wife in their previous home at Gaulstown, for an alleged affair with his brother Arthur. Arthur was later put on trial and fined £20,000 which he could not pay. Arthur spent 18 years in debtors' prison in Dublin but was released upon Robert's death. Robert built  The Jealous Wall after falling out with his brother George, who lived on the adjacent estate at Tudenham. His wife was only released on his death in 1774. It is said that the spirit of a woman dressed in Red can sometimes be seen floating across the lake.

Lough Key Forest Park:

Lough Key Forest Park, sprawling over some 800 hectares on the southern shore of the enchanting Lough Key near Boyle, is a beguiling blend of history, wild beauty, and family adventure.

 Once the majestic grounds of the Rockingham Estate—complete with John Nash’s grand house and a landscape designed by John Sutherland—the estate burned in 1957 and was converted into a public park the following decade. While there you can see the 11th century castle that sits on Castle Island belonging to the McDermott clan. You can walk through the bog garden, cross the fairy bridge, sit on the wishing chair and make that wish. Sit and relax while you look out onto the beautiful lake.

Sliabh Liag:

Sliabh Liag meaning 'mountain of stone pillars' is a mountain on the  Atlantic  coast of Co Donegal At 601 metres (1,972 ft), it has the second-highest sea cliffs in Ireland after Croaghaun and some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe.

Belfast naturalist Robert Lloyd Praeger wrote in 1939:

A tall mountain of nearly 2000 feet, precipitous on its northern side, has been devoured by the sea till the southern face forms a precipice likewise, descending on this side right into the Atlantic from the long knife-edge which forms the summit. The traverse of this ridge, the "One Man's Path", is one of the most remarkable walks to be found in Ireland - not actually dangerous, but needing a good head and careful progress on a stormy day....The northern precipice, which drops 1500 feet into the coomb surrounding the Little Lough Agh, harbours the majority of the alpine plants of Slieve League, the most varied group of alpines to be found anywhere in Donegal.

Creevykeel Court Tomb:

 Is one of the finest examples of a court tomb  remaining in Ireland. The monument is located in Cliffoney village in Co Sligo. A second megalithic monument existed 300 meters to the north, but it was demolished around 1890.

The Creevykeel Court Tomb is one of five megalithic monuments in the area. Creevykeel has not been dated using modern scientific methods, and is estimated to date from about 3,500 BC with a long span of use and re-use.

Leap Castle:

Today, you are joined by Patti Negri (Hollywood's Good Witch) and her tour group. You have the opportunity to hang out with two world-class psychic mediums who are willing to share their talents with you all.

Leap Castle in County Offaly is widely regarded as one of the most haunted castles in Ireland, with a dark and bloody history that has fueled ghost stories for centuries. Built in the 13th century by the O’Bannon clan and later taken over by the powerful O’Carrolls, the castle was the site of gruesome family rivalries, betrayals, and murders—including the infamous slaying of a priest by his own brother in what’s now known as the “Bloody Chapel.” The castle’s most terrifying discovery came in the early 1900s, when workmen uncovered a hidden oubliette behind a wall, filled with human remains impaled on wooden spikes. Among the many spirits said to roam Leap Castle is a sinister elemental entity described as a shadowy presence with a foul stench and a chilling aura. Today, visitors report sudden drops in temperature, ghostly figures, and eerie sensations, making Leap Castle a must-visit for those brave enough to explore its haunted halls.
