The term Kingship of Tara (/tr/) was a title of authority in ancient Ireland - the title is closely associated with the archaeological complex at the Hill of Tara. The position was considered to be of eminent authority in medieval Irish literature and Irish mythology, although national kingship was never a historical reality in early Ireland. The term also represented a prehistoric and mythical ideal of sacred kingship in Ireland. Holding the title King of Tara invested the incumbent with a powerful status. Many Irish High Kings were simultaneously Kings of Tara. The title emerged in the ninth and tenth centuries. In later times,[when?] actual claimants to this title used their position to promote themselves in status and fact to the High Kingship. Prior to this, various branches of the U Nill dynasty appear to have used it to denote overlordship of their kindred and realms. It was associated with Feis Temro (Feast of Tara), a pagan inauguration rite.

Tara, the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland is constantly revealing more of its secrets. It is a vast archaeological site which is being continually investigated with non-intrusive geophysical surveys, one of which revealed a huge wooden henge, much bigger than Stonehenge in England, measuring some 170 metres in diameter, which suggests Tara was possibly an even more important site at that time. This monument which would have been similar in size to our modern Croke Park Stadium, would of had a huge impact on the skyline at the top of this hill already visible to the surrounding areas for mile around. It enclosed the Rath of the Synods, the Mound of the Hostages and several standing stones including the Lia Fil or Stone of Destiny and an ancient coronation stone which was believed to have roared three times, when the true king of Ireland struck it with his sword....

All that is visible in Tara today, is a series of grassy mounds, so the visitor may find it difficult to comprehend or even imagine the importance of this extremely ancient and sacred site, but you will definitely feel it. The sheer scale of the site and the uninterrupted views over the surrounding several counties, being the first indication of the strategic positioning of this ancient monument, believed to date back to beyond 2500 BC.

There is an audio visual representation in a former church on the site which helps to explain the history and mythology of the place. It may take a leap of faith to conjure up the bigger picture and it is certainly not a site for sceptics or the unimaginative but terribly rewarding for anyone with an inkling of Celtic soul.....

1 Newgrange, or Br na Binne as it is known in Irish, is not far from here and Ireland's most historic monument. It predates the Pyramids of Egypt and is still precisely aligned to the Winter Soltice on the 21st of December some 5000 years later.

5 Slane Castle, take a left at the cross roads, peep over the green gates to see the site of the legendry open air rock concerts run by Lord Henry Mountcharles, all the greats have played here from Bruce Springsteen to U2...

6 Or climb the Hill of Slane go straight through the crossroads, take a left and walk up to the churchyard there. This where St Patrick infamously lit the first Pascal fire in defiance of the High Kings of Tara.

9 Monasterboice see the largest and tallest high crosses in Ireland, including the sandstone high cross of Muirdeach with its intricate carvings and the North Cross believed to be the first depiction of the game of hurling in Ireland.

On Easter Sunday morning, in anno domine 433 it was that Patrick came face to face with the beating heart of the old religion at Tara, and did battle with the Druids. Although some might dispute the miraculous nature of the events that took place on that day, few argue they didn't happen, so take from that what you will!

Laeghaire the king and his Druids had returned from their journey to Slane and had sat hungry to a lunch in their great hall, when who should walk in but Patrick himself, along with his companions. The king had previously set traps, snares and ambushes for Patrick, who had escaped them all, and so the king was much surprised to see him enter, but the laws of Irish hospitality were among the most important, and so Patrick sat as an uneasy guest.

The Druids brought him his wine but craftily dropped a dose of poison from an ebony ring into his cup just before passing it to him. Patrick didn't notice this but made the sign of the cross over the wine, turning the poison into a lump and spilling from the cup as he raised it to his lips, so he drank unharmed.

Infuriated by this turn of events, the chief Druid stood up and challenged Patrick to a battle of wonders on Tara hill. He cast his spells and worked his ancient magics, weaving eldritch powers into a call to hag-devils of the frozen north who slumbered uneasily, causing a fall of deep snow all over the plain below.

Incensed, the Druid howled into the sky, calling upon grim powers of old, the elder and most potent sorceries; the earth trembled and the sky was covered with a lowering darkness. Even the sun was dimmed and hell-winds skittered across the fields, blowing leaves from green trees and browning the tall grass.

The Druid was beside himself with rage, but the king was starting to have his doubts, so he lifted with one hand the Gospels and with the other the age-blackened hide scrolls of the Druids and said "We'll put these into the river and see which survives!"

Wanting to put an end to the contest, Patrick said to the Druid, "Well, if that is the case then I will give you my cloak and you go into a house and we'll set it ablaze. My own cleric here shall also go in, wearing your own cloak, so we'll see who is favoured most."

Although the Druid was reluctant he had little choice but to agree since the onlooking king, chieftains and noblemen seemed to think it a fair game. He craftily conferred with Laeghaire beforehand though and had his part of the house built of green wood, while Patrick's man was to sit in a room made of old, dry wood.

A wonder was seen by all then - the green part of the house burned mightily, and not a smudge was found on Patrick's cloak, although the Druid died a horrible death, while Patrick's cleric was untouched by the fire, despite the Druid's cloak being turned to ash around him.

The king was wroth and ready to strike Patrick down, but God stayed his hand and further slew many of his men that day. A great fear came upon the king and he bent the knee to Patrick, but he stayed part heathen all his life and was buried as a heathen himself, although his people saw the great works of Patrick and became believers. Still long yet did paganism linger in Ireland, but the light of Christianity had been seen and the word was spreading.

Actress Tara Reid is in talks to play Carole Baskin in the Tiger King movie adaption. Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness released earlier this year on Netflix and quickly became an overnight sensation. The seven-part documentary series follows the stranger-than-fiction story of eccentric zookeeper, Joe Exotic, and his attempt to have kooky animal rights activist, Carole Baskin, murdered. The series' success even led it a Tiger King reunion episode hosted by Joel McHale, with some but not all of the documentary's crazy cast of characters returning.

Reid has been a household Hollywood name for decades. After starting her career at the early age of 6, she scored her first big role as Bunny in The Big Lebowski. She then went on to star in several comedy flicks in the early 2000s, including the American Pie saga, National Lampoon's Van Wilder and My Boss's Daughter. Her most notorious role is that of April in Sharknado, a character who has appeared in every movie of the franchise. With four 2020 film credits to her name, Reid is still very much a relevant working actress. She is currently in talks for several films in pre-production, including Room Ten, The Faction of a Hitman, and Ghostkiller. However, none are nearly as exciting as the role of Carole Baskin in an upcoming Tiger King movie.

Reid's manager and business partner, Philippe Ashfield, confirmed the news with People, revealing that Reid is being considered by producers for the role Carole Baskin in a movie adaptation of Tiger King. According to Ashfield, Reid has watched the series and finds it fascinating. The 44-year-old actress also believes that her look and ability to get in the head space of someone like Carole Baskin would make her a great fit for the role. This Tiger King movie adaption is still in the very early stages of development.

The Tiger King adaptation that Reid is in talks play Baskin for is possibly one of many projects in the works. Expert in normalizing the absurd, American Vandal creator, Dan Lagana is working on an eight-episode TV drama adaption starring Nicholas Cage as Joe Exotic. Another Tiger King adaptation is being produced by Universal Content Productions and is based on the Wondery Joe Exotic podcast. It will see SNL impressionist Kate McKinnon in the role of Carole Baskin. Then there is yet another Tiger King project in the works from Rob Lowe and Ryan Murphy, though it's unclear if this adaptation is a movie or TV show. 152ee80cbc
