99 Gifts of the Wyrd: Lora Obrien - The Mórrígan

In this episode we meet with Irish author Rev. Lora O'Brien to talk about her latest book The Mórrígan, Ireland's Goddess: Sovereign Secrets from an Irish View.  We talk about her book and the Mórrígan as well as learning about the goddess from Irish resources, mythology and folktales, Irish sacred spaces, and connecting to an authentic Irish practice itself.  It's a really interesting conversation which goes beyond the goddess and Lora shares tools to create a vibrant Irish (or other) religious practice.  Lora is an author and Mórrígan devotee who has written this book with a perspective towards the Irish practice, mythology, and cultural connection. She is a modern Draoí—a practitioner and priest of indigenous Irish magic and spirituality. She is founder of the Ogham Academy and with her partner, Jon O’Sullivan, she is the co-founder of the Irish Pagan School. The Mórrígan, Ireland's Goddess is available from Llewellyn books.  # # # Instagram: @morrigan.academy.irish @irish.pagan.school  Links: Lora O'Brien  Mórrígan Academy    National Monuments Service  (Historic Environment Viewer) Folklore archive - Duchas   # # # This book was sent to me by the publisher.
