Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.

😲OMG I'm my mam now!

I mean, I know this is a consequence of getting older, but this is getting old. I had two days off the day job last week and I spent it clearing out my wardrobe. And worse, considered this a valuable use of time off work. What the hell? I have another two days off this week (got time I need to use or lose) and I'm planning on a deep clean of the bathroom and I'm really looking forward to it. Add this to my recent digestive issues, leading to a change in dietary habits, and I'm getting very...

Or leads to people diving away from me. (OK that's enough with the sports stuff!) Part of the reason is that I've been getting a lot of queries about the Brigid Sessions, so I've put together a product page for them. If you'd like to try me out, just click on this link and you can buy the sessions. I'll follow up with sending you a link to book the first session and we'll go from there. $227.00 The Brigid Sessions 🌿 The Brigid Sessions A 3-part coaching program to help you define how you work...

I know. I'm writing an email a mere day after the last one. This is most un-Orlagh like behaviour, but bear with me, ok? I started getting some menopause-type symptoms a few years ago, but it was bearable. An increase in hair on my face. Spots for a week a month. A bit more tired than normal. But, y'know, dealable with. It was ok. And I was kinda thinking of ways to make this work for me - treating it as puberty again, but this time, paying respect to myself, my body, my spirit, my needs. And...

First off, I had a huge response to my email on Friday and I appreciate your concerns. So here are some of the answers to the most asked questions I've been asked: ✅All the courses have download links against the videos, audios and pdf files. If you come across one that doesn't, let me know and I'll figure out why it doesn't. ✅You have at least a month before the school changes over. ✅I will be enrolling you in the new platform so you won't lose anything long term. But I know how annoying it...

OOPS!!! I'm so sorry folks, when I said "download content now" it was meant to get ye moving, but ye will have at least a month to access content. So if you're currently on holiday or not in a place to download, it's not imminently disappearing. And I will be trying to make sure anyone who has access to a course now, will still have access in the new system!! But, since I'm human and imperfect - there are likely to be mistakes!

I'm having some problems with teachable. They assure me that all current student will be able to access content, but no new ones are currently able to join. So, I'm moving away from Teachable. This means there will be a slight hiatus while I figure out what's going on and what I'm doing about it. I have an early plan to re-record some of the earlier content because, well, I'm a better presenter now than I was 5 years ago! But it means in the meantime, if there is a course you were looking to...

Yes, I know, we're not near Samhain yet. Although I did get the tortuous experience of the Supernatural "Sam Hane" episode over the weekend. I'm still not sure they weren't completely pulling the piss with that one. No, I won't link it. 😝 Nuff said about that. But this week's blog post is continuing on the theme of how people play things small and the costs of staying silent. The costs of not speaking up. And if I'm honest, it came up at 2am on Friday night as well. (Yeah, I was out again. We...

I got a great response from the last email - it obviously struck a chord with people. But one thing that kept coming up, over and over again, was how to ask for help from Brigid. Honestly? A very, very simple "Help, please!" is the best way to do that, I've found. Yes, of course, there are more formal ways of doing things. 👔Ritual 👔Carefully crafted prayer 👔Written requests All that sort of thing. And for the bigger stuff, the change your life stuff, it's worth doing a formal approach - if...

Being honest here folks, for the next few weeks the blog is going to be about feeling small and taking up space where we can. And the effects when we don't do this... Why? Because I've had too many women coming to me in the last few weeks who are operating from a place of smallness. Too many women coming to me being less than they could be, because of societal expectations, family pressure, religious expectations... And I'm tired of it. I know - I bet I'm not half as affected by this as...

I don't know about you, but it seems like the weekend was extremely short this time around. I mean ok - I lost a good 24 hours to a night out - between getting ready, going out, coming home and recovering, it just seemed like a full day was missing. And I need my 2 solid days of recuperating from the week to prepare for the next. On the other hand, it was a brilliant night out and I really enjoyed myself. Sometimes, we need to push ourselves out of the comfort zone a bit to experience life...
