    Jenna McGeoghegan recommends The Irish Pagan School:
    "The classes are deeply engaging and so full of authentic trustworthy resources for further study. The teachers are all knowledgeable in their fields and the school promotes native Irish voices. The scholarship of the materials is second to none. This can be a true academic journey, or a fully spiritual experience, or both depending on how you approach it. The foundation classes are exceptional. The instructors do not hand you a pre packaged religious plan as so many do. They provide background and encouragement for pe

  • The True Nature of Irish Fairies: Myth, Folklore & Modern Misconceptions - Lora & Dr Gillian Kenny
    Jul 17 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Lora O'Brien chats with Dr. Gillian Kenny, a distinguished scholar who also teaches at the Irish Pagan School. They delve into the realm of Irish fairies, the deep-rooted fairy faith in Ireland, and the iconic figure of the Banshee. Join us as we explore the often misunderstood and misrepresented aspects of these powerful entities in Irish folklore.
    💥 Gillian's Classes are Here! - https://irishpaganschool.com/courses/author/459240 💥

    Throughout this discussion, we confront the concerning trend of trivialising fairies through commercialised concepts like 'fairy doors', examining how such practices dilute the profound and sometimes fearsome nature of these beings. We also tackle the chilling topic of changelings – a cornerstone of fairy lore that reveals a darker, more haunting side of these mythical creatures.

    Furthermore, Dr. Kenny offers a critical perspective on how Irish mythology and folklore are portrayed in popular culture, highlighting both the beneficial and detrimental effects of these representations. This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the authentic and unvarnished essence of Irish fairy lore and its impact on both historical and contemporary Irish culture. Perfect for students of Irish history, mythology enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the rich tapestry of Ireland's folklore, this discussion promises to enlighten, educate, and inspire a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Ireland's mythical beings.

    "The courses at the Irish Pagan School offer an in-depth approach to Irish paganism that is based on genuine history and folklore. There is so much here for curious learners of all levels to gain knowledge and insight on their spiritual paths while avoiding the misinformation that is sadly common in popular modern paganism.

Nonsense.

Although I generally like what this podcast seeks to convey, this explanation of ogham is utter nonsense. It is made up of a modern ahistorical interpretation of this ancient Celtic writing system.
