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.

Hope everyone is well? Anyone who saw my post on Threads or Instagram yesterday will know I'm suffering a bit. However, I have just acquired the Holy Trinity of Ibuprofen, Paracetemol and VIcks' Menthol Inhaler to help clear my blocked sinuses. Fingers crossed they all start working soon! A few months back, I said whatever the election results, I would host a retreat for Imbolc this year. Now with the Presidential results in for the US, it's clear I won't be voluntarily travelling to the US for the next four years. So I have two ideas: 1) Host a retreat in Ireland for those willing and able to travel 2) Host an online retreat Now, I have a very tentative third idea about hosting a retreat in Canada, but not sure if people would be interested at all. So, here's my question. Since it's coming to the time of year where I will have some quiet time to research and plan in work, I've put together a very short form for you to give me feedback on this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevDQnWfY2JMAvDUwsBjXI4u6OpiO2zTxsnNLDWjl5Jhvo8Vg/viewform?usp=sharing There is an area to put in your email address, but it's not a requirement, only if you want to hear more about it. Now, a retreat in Canada is unlikely to happen in February, it may happen later in the year, but the Ireland or virtual options could happen in February, so let me know and I'll see what I can arrange. In the mean time, there's still time to start the Building a Daily Practice with Brigid course and finish before Imbolc!! OK, I'm off to get more meds into me.... Bríd libh Órlagh P. S.

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!

Right. Let's be blunt about who this is actually for. And who it isn't. If you want someone to hand you The Ritual - capital letters, one script, follow-it-exactly-or-you've-failed - Kindling Brigid's Flame isn't that course. I don't teach the One True Way. Never have. What I built is a structure flexible enough to bend around whatever's actually going on in your life, and that's a completely different thing. This is for you if: 🕯️ Ritual currently means "vague candle-lighting and hoping" and...
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...
I mentioned a few weeks ago about having a breakdown while talking to my dead Nana. I have also - at times - muttered a bit ruefully. That there are times the problem is getting the ancestors to shut up. Maybe it's just that I have talkative ancestors, or maybe I just pay a bit more attention. But I've never had issues in connecting with them. Even if there are some I'd prefer I didn't connect with at all. Yeah, none of us have purely innocent and perfect family trees, there's always a few...
