🛌I took a rest...


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.

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 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.

Yes I'm back talking about the Great Famine again. And we'll be moving onto our duties as members of society as well - again linked to Brig Ambue. Y 'see, I believe in practical spirituality. For me, unless we're practical about our beliefs and our practices, what's the point? I know plenty of people disagree with me - just look at the state of fundamentalism of all sorts in the US right now - but this is my standpoint. It doesn't have to be yours. Brig Ambue care about the ones who were...

I wanted to drop into your inbox with a gentle reminder — enrollment for Brigid’s Forge Collective is closing soon, and I’d love for you to be part of it. This is a six-month group coaching journey rooted in Brigid’s Path — the framework I’ve developed to help you build a spiritual practice that’s grounded, personal, and deeply aligned with your own values and needs. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, it might seem like now isn’t the time to focus on spirituality. But I believe the...

I got out of the practice of writing last week. A week off work, followed by some major issues to deal with meant various things got dropped by the wayside. And a blog post and the emails were some of them. Fierce sorry about that, but it really was a case of prioritisation... I had a lovely weekend though. I sat on the couch on Saturday and didn't move. I think I did fewer than 700 steps all day. I needed it though. I came home on Friday night and I was tired. Like tired. Didn't make it to...
