  Enroll in Course

Online class exploring Irish changeling lore across the last several hundred years. We will touch on who and what changelings are, why they were feared and the terrible consequences of that fear, as well as methods of protection against fairy abduction.

Morgan Daimler is a Priest of Na Daoine Maithe, and has been studying fairy folklore for decades and teaching and writing about the Good Folk since 2000.

This class digs through the pop culture confusion surrounding changelings, to get people back to a view of these beings within an Irish cultural context.

Changeling lore has been rewritten and adapted by those outside the culture with an agenda since the Victorian era, so we will discuss the accurate beliefs as well as the Victorian ones, and the ways that the agenda with which they were rewritten alters and effects both changeling stories as well as wider fairylore.

The Irish beliefs will be explored in depth including why humans are stolen by the Daoine Maithe, discussions of the tangible results of these beliefs, and practical methods to protect against fairy abduction.

(Review on another of Morgan's Sidhe Classes)

"So grateful for this course! I really appreciated a deeper dive into understanding the fairy faith, and the ability to ask questions directly to Morgan Daimler. This aspect of Irish folklore has been unfamiliar to me until I started reading Morgan's work and taking courses here at the IPS. It helps my understanding to have them able to talk about it from personal experience, in addition to the written resources."

-- Joanne Crofts, Irish Pagan School student
