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.
This works for me. It might not work for you.

It's no secret I love to read. I mean, my library is spreading out from the room it's in. And books are quite literally all over the house. Well, they're not in the main bathroom - yet - but I can't say there's none in the en-suite. And I was looking for a foundation in Irish myth to base my ritual structure on, when Lora mentioned to me about the Settling of the Manor at Tara. It's about two lines I base the whole thing on - read more details in this week's blog post if you want them. But I wanted to talk more about why I wanted something authentically Irish to base it on. Y'see, a lot of ritual opening and closings out there are heavily leaning into Wiccan and Angelic practices. And there's nothing wrong with that - for some of my rituals, I do in fact use archangels as north, east, south and west - but they aren't usually Brigid related. And I wanted something rooted in Irish tradition and lore. So the information coming out of the Settling of the Manor at Tara was ideal. For me. Here, my dear darlings, is the crux though. This works FOR ME. It might not work for you. You might find a different structure helpful. But it's important to have a ritual opening and closing that you can connect to. Just because this works for me, doesn't mean it will for you. And as I said a few weeks ago - it's really important to have a firm closing anyway!! Bríd libh Órlagh P. S. If you want to learn more about this structure, I'll be teaching it properly in the Kindling Brigid's Flame course. Coming up shortly. Want to know more? (No pressure if it's not for you right now.)

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...
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...
