Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

⏱️ Q&A - 3 days left for early bird!

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

I've had a few questions & queries about the Imbolc retreat, so here we go!

  1. Why six hours? Well, because I think that's how lonlong a day long retreat can feasibly last. Any longer, and we'll all be wiped out. Any shorter? Well, we'd be rushing.
  2. Is a blankie truly necessary? No, not 100% necessary. But I believe comfort is massively important whether meditating. So, if you have a tendency to cool down when meditating, keep something handy!
  3. What will the movement be? Will it be on camera? The movement will be your choice. I might suggest stretching, or dancing, or a good shake, but it's all up to you. The point of the movement is to make sure you're fully back in your body in between meditations. And no. While it would be nice to see faces on screen, there is no requirement at any stage to be on camera.
  4. When does the early bird price run out? 5pm Irish time, 6th January 2025
  5. Where can I sign up? Here.
  6. What's the final date for signing up? You can sign up right up til 5pm on 1st February. But the early bird price goes up on 6th January.
  7. Is there a payment plan? Yes, you can split payments in 2.

That covers most of the questions I've hhad so far, but reach out if you have any more.

And I'm slowly pulling out of this flu. I even washed my hair last night!! (I know, the excitement in my life is ripping!)

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

I help people from strict, rigid religious backgrounds find joy in their spirituality again!

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.

Short one. Kindling Brigid's Flame closes tonight. Modules go live tomorrow, 1 November, whether you're in or not. If you've been sitting on this since Monday, you know already. You don't need another six paragraphs from me to tell you what you've already decided. Self-taught: one-off payment or 3 payments. With coaching: one-off payment or 3 payments.

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...

An image of the Buffy tarot deck. Yes it features in my spiritual practice!!

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...
