Ancient Irish Wisdom for Modern Women: A Moon Mná Podcast

We have a myriad of healing plants and herbs growing on our doorstep in our hedgerows and it is my pleasure to open your eyes and indeed your nose to the power and potency of all that literally grows on our doorstep. 

No matter where you were born, whether you have Irish heritage or not, when you hear traditional Irish music or you see a beautiful photograph of the glory of the land does your heart skip a beat and you experience a feeling of euphoria and knowing that this is HOME? Then you have what we call a ‘Celtic soul’. Have a listen to this Podcast to hear how this magnificent phenomenon may play out in your life.

In these strange times so many of us have found deep solace from being out in nature but why and indeed how. Can we connect in a deeper way to hear the sacred wisdom of the land, both here in Ireland and wherever you call home. I am honoured to bring this alive for you and speak to your Celtic soul of the Solace of the Land.

An Cailleach, the great Crone Goddess guides us as we gently enter hibernation time. Samhain has always been a natural time for reflection on Life and Death, on personal renewal as we celebrate the turning of the year. At this Celtic New Year Festival, we pay homage to those who have lived before us so that we have life today - our Ancestors.

I am honoured to flex my Bardic roots and tell you the story of Irish Goddess Tlachtga (Clock-ta meaning Earth Spear in Gaelic) and how this part of Irish legend and lore speaks of how the festival we know as Hallowe'en began in Co. Meath many Moons ago. There are many beautiful traditions associated with special time known as the Celtic New Year, why we dress up, eat certain foods and honour the Faeries. Come draw up close and listen…

We collect them spontaneously, we are enthralled by their shape and colour and longevity, but do you ever think about their essence, their wisdom or their inherent power? Join me for a fascinating look at stones and how we may interact with them in a whole new way. Please bring a stone with you to listen to the episode.

Do you remember your dreams? What do they mean if anything? Have you ever yearned to know how to harvest your dreams in the best possible way? Then join me to find out more where I will explain the different types of dreams and how to 'interpret' them giving examples for you to understand.

Áine (pronounced 'awn-ya') is the Irish Sun Goddess of Love whose powerful radiance ensures bountiful crops and harvests. Her name aptly means brightness, radiance and splendour as she is a Shining One of the ethereal Tuatha Dé Danann. Her Sacred Site is Knock Áine (Áine’s Hill also Knockainey) or Cnoc Áine Sid Clíath or the Sacred Mound of Cliuwhich which is sickle shaped. Near Lough Gur, the oldest complete Stone Circle in Ireland, Áine was also known as the Lady of the Lake. This beautiful place is synonymous with the Summer Solstice when the rising rays shine on key stones of this magnificent circle.
