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.

I know, after weeks of daily emails, the break was a bit abrupt. But honestly, I needed it. I had Friday off work, but had a fairly intense physio session and discovered I have a stiff rib. Seriously. There's exercises and things to do, but it's just time and consistency mainly. Saturday, the retreat went really well and I'm so happy I did it. But I was pure exhausted afterwards. Sunday and Monday I was meeting with friends and having fun, and also engaging in an extended Buffy marathon on Disney. And then yesterday... back to work. But not before being woken by my darling husband having a nightmare. He got straight back to sleep of course. I did not. Nuff said! So, I've done the brat Bríde. I've rerun the protections around the house. I've held my own private ritual as well. Taking time away from the work was important then this week. Hence the email on Wednesday instead of Monday. I'm also skipping a blog post this week - partly because it's a reasonably tough one on high control religions and partly cos I just needed to ease the pressure on myself. You won't have noticed this on the main blog this week, but it will skip next week. And if you're a member of the community it skipped this week, be back next week. If you want to join said community and get access to the blogs a week early, click here) So, a more normal or less abnormal service will return next week. Also - I have a mass of emails and I am getting back to them gradually. Sorry about the delay, but please don't worry, a reply is coming!!

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'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...
Surprising everyone, including myself, I have the slides ready for tomorrow night. The first night of the 4 week course, Brigid for Writers, I'm running with Courtney Weber. I can't wait. I have such high excitement on this. Such high excitement! (OK that could also be attributed to the fact that the sun is out and I'm heading off to Galway to see the niece tomorrow as well. So there may be a guest star at the course as well...) But I can't wait. For the first week, we're looking at the...
As is becoming a distressing habit of mine, I was awake for half the night last night. And now, I'm not operating the best in work. But I'm here and keeping things on a (mostly) even keel. Some of the things that are worrying me? I don't know if I'm doing a good job at my part time lecturing role I'm worried about the content for tomorrow's class I haven't finalised the material for the first week of the Brigid for Writers course, starting on Saturday I can see things in work that will go...
