⏰🚪Your Future's Knocking – Open Now!


I had a very strange dream last night. Now, look, I've a fair idea what it's about, so no need for dream interpretations here. But one really clear aspect was, completely out of sequence or context or anything with the rest of the dream, there was a very loud knocking on the door in my head. And it was repeated twice.

Now, ok, with working with Brigid, things come in groups of threes for me, and I tend to pay attention when they do. So, yes, I will be taking action on this in the near future.

But here's the thing: the knocking on the door doesn't always take the form of an actual knocking on the door.

So, right now, I'm declaring this to be an official knocking on the door. I've mentioned the upcoming Brigid for Writers myself and Courtney Weber are running all through March.

Now, as Courtney said in a recent Facebook post - this is not for you if you've never had any problems with writing. If you've never had any issues with writing, or have no interesting in writing anything, ever - skip the rest of the email and go about your day!

But if none of those things apply to you, read on.

I find Brigid immensely helpful in my creative endeavours. I've said this before and I'll say it again. But very often, when we consider "writing", we tend to focus in on one small aspect of it. Have you ever said any of the following?

  1. "I'm just a hobbyist."
  2. "I only write for fun."
  3. "I'm not published."
  4. "I don't have a degree in writing."
  5. "I only write in my journal."
  6. "I'm not good enough to be a professional."
  7. "I don't write every day."
  8. "I haven't finished a book."

But you do actually write regularly.

Here's the course for you then. Seriously.

We are going to have four packed sessions on writing. We'll be going over aspects of Brigid's stories, from both deity and saint, and exploring how we can interact with these stories from a creative perspective. We'll be giving you a prayer or ritual to use in your private practice. We'll be going through meditations to deepen your connection with Brigid and inspire your creativity. We'll be providing inspirational writing prompts - and giving ye homework.

There's even an upgrade, with limited numbers, to get direct individual feedback in a study hall type session from myself and Courtney.

Seriously? What are you waiting for. If you've been hearing that knocking on the door for ages and ages, but haven't seen what's there to answer? Here's your answer. Sign up here!

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! 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.

My mother grew up in rural Clare in the 1960s. And one of her fondest memories from childhood is the trip to Lahinch for Garland Sunday - the last Sunday of July, which in her memory was simply a great day out. The men would walk the seafront. The women came too - which was notable, she says, because most of the fairs and gatherings of the time were horse fairs or cattle fairs, places where women didn't usually go. Garland Sunday was different. It was for everyone. Children ran and played and...

My husband and I can't have children. This isn't something I talk about constantly, but it's part of my story and it's directly relevant to why Tailtiu matters to me - so here it is. When I first came across her, I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I was following the thread of Lúnasa back through the mythology, trying to understand what my ancestors were actually doing at this time of year. Tailtiu was there in the sources - the woman who cleared the plains of Ireland until it...

The August bank holiday is, in my house, taken seriously. Not in a spiritual performance sort of way. In a genuinely practical sort of way. I use it - and the few days around it - to take stock of where I am. How am I doing on the goals I set at the start of the year? Not to beat myself up about what hasn't happened, but to look honestly at what has - what's come in, what's still outstanding, what I've quietly abandoned without quite admitting it. The harvest metaphor is a useful one here....
