Six weeks ago I wrote about not knowing what a ritual even was. Since then we've covered opening and closing properly, what my body actually needs before ritual work, learning to feel things at all, where my own ritual structure genuinely comes from, and talking to the dead without people getting worried about you. That's the whole arc, more or less. Land, sea, sky, and everything underneath it. So now I want to tell you plainly what I've built out of all of it.

If you're curious how a Buffy tarot deck ended up being part of my divination practice, that's on the blog.

Why I Built Kindling Brigid's Flame

I've run courses like this before, and I'm always trying to make the next one more accessible than the last. This isn't new ground - it's the same core I've been teaching for a while now. It's just matured, the way things do when you keep coming back to them. This time round I've cut the videos right down - no more hour-long sit-and-absorb sessions, everything's split into small chunks you can actually get through in a spare ten minutes.

Mostly, though, I'm writing the course I could have done with years ago. For starters, I want to reach back to when I was learning how to do ritual. I didn't even have the language around ritual, opening and closing, grounding and centring, etc, etc, etc. And there was nowhere I could learn about this without joining a group or signing up for some very expensive years long courses. All I wanted to do was to continue in my own solitary path and be able to do some stuff.

So I figured it out - with help, mind you, but I had to figure out what works for me, because there wasn't anything out there that worked all the way. There was loads on Wiccan practice, Hellenic pantheons, etc, etc, etc, but most of what I found on Brigid was, well, lacking. In many ways. Heavily dependent on later folk practices with the saint - nothing wrong with that, I put my brat Bhríde out every Imbolc same as anyone else. But nothing that connected with the Brigids I was meeting. The powerful Smith. The stern and authoritative Healer. The Poet that was strong enough to protect all the poets of Ireland. All of that was missing.

So I built it for me. And then shared it.

I was genuinely confused about this whole ritual thing, the way I wrote about a few weeks back. I wish someone had taught me a structure I could actually use - one flexible enough to bend around whatever season of life you're in, rather than a script you either follow exactly or fail at.

What's Actually In It

Kindling Brigid's Flame takes you through the physical, emotional, and spiritual groundwork. And then into building your own ritual structure for Imbolc, the way I've built mine.

• Self-taught: €197 as a one-off payment, or €67 x 3 (€201 total). For a three-month, five-module course with workbooks, meditations, and resources built in, that's kinda a steal.
• With coaching: three 1-2-1 sessions with me, to be used within 6 months of the course starting. That costs €497 one-off, or €177 x 3 (€531 total). My usual coaching rate is €250 an hour, so that's a really good deal if you want the extra support.

Modules go live after Samhain, from 1 November. And it's built to run roughly three months, through to Imbolc. (Though nothing's stopping you moving faster if that suits you better.)

If you want the self-taught version: self-taught, one-off payment or self-taught, 3 payments.

Or, if you'd prefer it with coaching: with coaching, one-off payment or with coaching, 3 payments.

If any of the last six weeks has felt like it was speaking to you directly, this is where it leads.
