I hope all are well here. I'm snowbound. For those who don't know - Ireland is going through a bit of a cold spell this week. We had enough snow to be extremely problematic on Sunday/ Monday. That has now frozen over and we're due temps of -8C tonight. (17F for those not used to Celsius!) So, I'm stuck in the house and working from home. This, after my keyboard stopped working over Christmas and I'm awaiting a new one to be delivered. And considering I'm at the top of a hill that is currently a sheet of ice, no post person is going to be travelling up or down that road this week!! Even the neighbours with the 4-wheel drive aren't venturing out yet. ​ But, how and ever, life moves on. Early bird pricing is over now for the Imbolc retreat. But there are places left so you can still sign up. Now, I have been writing up my annual "privilege" inventory this morning. You can see this in detail if you are signed up to the earl access on the blog. If not, it will be published for general viewing next week. But it brought home to me that there have been times in my life when I would not have been able to take advantage of this early bird offer, because a week just would not have been enough time to gather the funds to do so. In light of this, I've decided to extend an offer, allowing either $100 or €100 off any of the payment options for those on my email list. If you use the code 100OFFEMAIL, you can get either $100 or €100 off any of the plans. Including the payment plans. That means you can sign up today for just $247 or €235. And of course it applies to the payment in full options as well. That offer is available until the spaces are full or until 21st January, depending on which comes first. In the mean time - my Christmas decorations came down this morning, with Nollag na mBan being yesterday. Next, I'm starting the major deep clean of my office/ritual space - this supports my energetical preparation for Imbolc as well and it will look amazingly clean for that Imbolc ritual mentioned above. I may just get it clean and then refuse to allow anyone set foot in it until Imbolc!! (Mostly joking there!) But it's important for me to do this. It gets the energy up and moving for the time when planting seeds is happening. It gets me in the proper frame of mind for fresh starts, refreshed activity, that sort of thing. And, to be fair, most areas of the house need a deep clean after the winter, so it's useful in many ways. OK, bit of a long one today, but apparently, being a day late, meant I had loads to tell ye! BrÃd libh Órlagh P. S. Don't forget to use your discount code on the Imbolc retreat before all the spaces are gone! Check out the links below: ​Brigid's Forge School​ ​Patreon​ ​Website​ |
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.
On Saturday, I finished up the Brigid for Writers series I was doing with Courtney Weber. We had a great time and we are definitely going to be working together again. I really enjoyed it. (Fair warning though, even aside from my political views, it is really looking unsafe for any tourist in the US right now, so my decree that I will not set foot in the place voluntarily right now is only getting stronger!) But Courtney asked me a question at the end that stopped me a bit - she asked what...
It's rare I go this long without emailing ye any more. Some of ye may be thinking it's rare ye get a break at all these days (if that's you, there's a button to unsubscribe down below, seriously, you won't offend me!) But I needed the rest. And I'm coming back feeling more energetic, with more ideas and more thoughts than usual. Want to more know? Developing some new ideas around Brigid's Path to make it more affordable and available to people Working on the book (I know, I swear, it's still...
I've had a lot of emails over the last few days asking if I'm ok. I absolutely am. I had to go for a colonoscopy yesterday, which meant things were a little upset. There was a chance it would indicate some scary things like cancer, so, yes, I was very worried. But it turned out all right. There were a few small things taken care of, but the consultant is happy, my doctor is happy, all is well. So, thank you all for your concern, I really appreciate it. Things will be slower here in the Forge...
