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.
❄️Winter's here - Act Now!

Obviously as a good Irishwoman living by traditional calendars (when it suits me anyway!), winter started back at Samhain for me. However, the weather has dropped significantly in the last few weeks. Between Storm Darragh dropping in on us in between two very cold spells, it's definitely wintry weather in this country right now. But it's a good reminder of a few things. 1) Winter is traditionally a time for rest and recuperation in agricultural societies. And Ireland still is fairly agricultural. Plus - it's dark by 4pm these days, so there's little enough time or inclination to leave the house. Time to curl up by the fire and relax. Dream. Engage with your inner self. 2) it also means that Imbolc is approaching. So if you were planning or thinking or had a notion about engaging with Imbolc differently this year, now's the time to start. I have opened Building a Daily Practice with Brigid as I told ye over the weekend. But there are other avenues to explore if that's not your gig. Want to spend more time with the Three Brigs in Ulster? Dive deeper into the saint? 3) Maybe you're thinking holiday gifts and want to gift someone the joy of one of my classes? If so, reach out and I'll set up the voucher for you! 4) Maybe you want to dedicate time each day with Brigid? Or reading the blog? Or just spending some quiet time in meditation and/or prayer? Email back and tell me when and how you'll do this - trust me, it helps to tell someone your plans, adds a bit of accountability to things. Maybe you're focused on survival right now. And that's ok - so are a lot of folk. Just focused on putting one foot in front of the other, surviving through til the weekend, or the end of the month, or until your next day off... It's a horrible place to be. I know cos I've been there. So I'm thinking of you! Bríd libh Órlagh Check out the links below: Patreon Website |

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...
