Draíocht: Foundations in Irish Magic
Essential Magical Theory, Practical Skills, and an Introduction to Irish Magic for Complete Beginners
Enroll in Course
If you have struggled to follow complicated spells and magical instruction, if you've bought every book and course on witchcraft or ceremonial magic, if you've tried to research folk magic traditions by yourself, if you've sought out academic instruction on cultures and traditions long dead, if you've diligently followed the step by step instructions of accomplished magic teachers but haven't seen any noticeable results... then you're about to discover the missing pieces from your magical practice.
This is an Online Class for Beginners in Irish Magic, Irish Witchcraft, Folk Magic, or Traditional Witchcraft, to Develop Basic Skills in Magical Practice, with Irish Draoí and Mórrígan Priest Lora O'Brien.
- What this class is NOT - a historical or practical instruction in specifically Irish Magic spells or techniques, nor an ancient unbroken tradition of Druid spells and rituals passed down through family generations!
- What this class IS - the essential beginner's foundations that are required to work with historical or practical instruction in specifically Irish Magic spells or techniques. This material provides the building blocks for a skillset that will be relevant to all magical traditions… including, of course, Draíocht.
Once you have taken this course, and practiced these techniques, you will have all the necessary basic spiritual hygiene skills - grounding, centering, shielding. The grounding exercise is particularly useful for those of us who spend lots of time on computers for work, school, or personal time on our phones.
You will know when to do magical things, and who or what can help you with your work (should you want or need that, it is not always necessary!). You'll also understand how that all fits within the Irish perspective and practices - our native Draíocht.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Introduction: What is Magic, How and Where I Learned This Draíocht.
- Essentials: The Building Blocks, Foundational Skills for Everyday Magic.
- Timing: Moon Cycles, Solar Seasons, When to Do Your Magic.
- Relationships: Making Offerings, Routines, Gaining Otherworldly Allies.
The class is recorded and broken up into these four sections, for accessibility and ease of use.
FOUR HOURS OF CONTENT: You will receive access to 3 hours of Presentation content (in 4 parts)... PLUS a 1 hour Q&A session recorded during the live class.
This Teaching is suitable for beginners, as well as those with more experience in this area, or in other traditions. You do not have to be dedicated to or working with any Irish Gods, Guides, or Guardians to take this class.
