- A group of women have come to Donegal to set up a sanctuary from the modern world.
The Silver Sisterhood, also known as Rhennes, arrived in Burtonport, Co Donegal in September 1982 from a small town in Yorkshire. They call themselves Rhennes in honour of a mythical goddess who was half maid, half-mare. They have their own language, music and a deep tradition of crafts in a pre-mechanised lifestyle. They wear full-length dresses and shawls and keep their heads covered when in public.
It’s here next door to the raw Atlantic they plan to establish their village. It’s to be a sanctuary from the modern world.
All of the group were strangers from different backgrounds before arriving in the Donegal town. The group is all women apart from one man, and refer to themselves as ‘maids’ rather than women. The role man has played in civilisation has no place in this community.
The group’s spiritual leader Sister Angelina tells RTÉ News about the origins of the group since its foundations in Devon and Cornwall.
he Rhennish tradition is the most ancient religious and cultural tradition in these Islands, that is to say in Britain and in Ireland, and we worship God as the mother and everything we do is centred around that worship.
This tradition extends beyond acts of worship to the crafts they practice, their language, their songs and their stories. The group have a strong work ethic which is an integral part of their spirituality.
In their new home by the sea, music and storytelling are now daily occurrences all spoken through the Rhennish tongue which dates back to the 14th century. All of their musical instruments are handmade by community members. They also make their own clogs, which they wear and will soon be sold to the public. They also plan to sell embroidered cloths depicting important Rhennish beliefs in the tree of life.
The maids live a simple existence without electricity or modern appliances in this centre which was once the home of the Screamers called ‘Atlantis’, and has now been renamed as ‘An Droichead Beo’ (The Bridge of Life). More members from Yorkshire are due to arrive at the centre before Christmas. In keeping with their pursuit of self-sufficiency, they plan to grow their own crops and have already begun to work the land around the centre.
While they mix little with the outside world, they have so far maintained a harmonious relationship with the local community.
For all their friendliness these new settlers aren’t quite what you expect to find in a Donegal fishing village. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Blindboy sent me down this mad rabbit hole
Me too !!
who is blindboy?
i'm not sure what i was expecting when i looked into cure dolly's past but it certainly wasn't this... really interesting
Oh wow is that Cure Dolly at 1:06?
Yeah seems to be !
I'm pretty much convinced. Direct chain of evidence all the way from this group, to Cure Dolly's own website. Has to be her.
Yeah honestly, they have extremely similar mannerisms and way of speaking
@@morisan42 man the pauses and everything. im wondering when she went to japan and watched anime
@@mattice9083 The accent and speech pattern are right on target.
Wow... that's Dolly, alright.
A man with a bag on his head lead me here...
this is actually pretty cool in its own right
The closed captions quoted her saying, "...oldest tradition in New Zealand" and um... according to who?
She is saying "In these Islands" meaning Britain & Ireland. She just has an odd way of pronouncing Islands ... it came out as "Eelands" almost.
hahahaha the interneet is crazy dude.. So that's cure bruv.. What a weird life... I will never look at her the same way ever
so cure doilly faked her own and death and is a cult leader wtf
That is incorrect. Cure Dolly passed away in 2021 as originally stated. I thoroughly researched this. The other still-living woman some people mix her up with, Mary/Miss Martindale, is also in this video wearing a white hood, glasses, black top, and spotted dress. You can see this for yourself by comparing to other photos or videos of Mary from this period, but it is also confirmed by multiple eye-witnesses.
I did not want to reply to this ignorant comment, but it seems like it is confusing some people. It would be great if you could please delete it, so I can remove my own here.
@@julianstevensonau Hey Julian, I think we talked on Reddit at some point, just one question if you can answer me, Do you why her kinoko account on twitter was used to like videos and stuff after her supposed death? we could not see the like before but twitter changed things and now display users liked post and we can clearly see the kinoko account liking stuff after her death, so I don't know, just curious.
@@chibrecamelien7317 I haven't thorougly looked into that new info, but expect it most likely reflects some kind of bug with Twitter (which are not uncommon, e.g. due to server glitches, inccorect device date settings), especially for a feature that wasn't available at the time, or perhaps some kind of bot activity. The likes still stopped within a couple of weeks of her reported death. It is possible that someone said she had passed away when she hit some point of critical illness but was still living, which seems very strange, but she did have some unconventional beliefs. Unfortunately, her main teaching website is currently down, but I hope her friends and colleagues can get it back up again.
@@julianstevensonau Wait you're the pastebin guy!
