Draíocht Ceoil

Sound and Magic in an Irish Tradition, with a Native Irish File

  Enroll in Course

Online Class which explores the Irish magical tradition of Sound and Music , with a native File (Poet).

Draíocht Ceoil is an Irish folk magic tradition with its roots in our Druidic/ Filí heritage. It focuses on the use of sound including words to create magical effect; also to understand the sounds found in the natural world and use them to attune spirit to place. Sound can be used to change the energy of a place, manipulate crowd energy, or focus spell work. Music and word was inextricably linked in Irish traditions, and Draíocht Ceoil has many facets and equally, many uses.

(Review on Geraldine's Rosc Class)

"Go raibh míle maith agat Geraldine Moorkens Byrne for this amazing class: you opened up a new horizon to my practice and endowed me with new tools to make my soul's voice not just heard, but alas listened to. Lora, you have created a sanctuary of learning and education, a place for seekers to gather around authentic Irish spiritual practice, lore, and knowledge. I don't think there are enough words to express my gratitude for all what you do, really."

-- Daniela Simina, Irish Pagan School Student.

(Review on Geraldine's Rosc Class)

"What an amazing course this is. Took me a bit longer to get through it being back to work full time, and as I watched it threw the first time, of all the courses I've taken so far I wish I could have been available for the live zoom. I know I will be re-watching the course at least 1 or 2 more times to truly absorb all the knowledge... Thank you both Lora and Geraldine for the time and wisdom you have brought to all of us.
