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.
đŻď¸Imbolc is here! What are you doing?
|
Yes, I am aware there is some controversy about the exact date of Imbolc. You can go astrologically (Tuesday 3rd February, apparently), the calendar date (31st hanuary, based of St. Brigid's Day being 1st February) or some other weird and wonderful method. My particular weird and wonderful method is using the bank holiday weekend we now get in Ireland. So, my celebration starts today. I'll leave out my brat BhrĂde tomorrow night. I'll be lighting candles, holding rituals and running retreats all weekend. And I'm offering some teaching over on various social media sites as well. See this video over on Instagram about how to pronounce Imbolc itself. (There is a "b" and yes it is pronounced!) But most of all, however and whenever you celebrate - remember your spirituality needs to fit your life. So, if you're in Minnesota right now - I'm going to say you may have other things on your mind... Spiritual practice is personal. And while there are traditional ways to celebrate and mark occasions, traditions change over time as well. As long as you're only celebrating privately and not claiming yours is the One True Wayâ˘ď¸, then we're good. Unless we're talking about the "b" in Imbolc, of course. Then, there is of course One True Wayâ˘ď¸ and it's mine đ BrĂd libh Ărlagh Check out the links below: âBrigid's Forge Schoolâ âWebsiteâ |

Over the past few days, Iâve been sitting with what unfolded on Saturday - and also with the quiet messages many of you have sent since. There is a theme emerging. When a woman stops running from her spiritual pastâŚwhen she stops performing obedienceâŚand when she stops rejecting everything she once held dear⌠A new question rises: âIf I am free - what do I choose now?â This place is not dramatic.Itâs not a crisis.Itâs not a collapse of faith. Itâs a return to sovereignty. And the moment a...
On Saturday, inside Restriction to Freedom, something became unmistakable. When women are given space - real space - they do not actually want to run away from their spiritual past. They are trying to understand it. Again and again, what surfaced was not rebellion â but a desire for clarity. đClarity about what still feels alive. đClarity about what no longer nourishes. đClarity about what was inherited⌠and what is actually chosen. Many of the women spoke about how rarely they had been...
