FREE - The Dagda - Hearth Hero & Domestic Deity
Exploring the Deeds of the Dagda as a Guide to Healthy Masculinity.
Among the Tuatha Dé Danann there was one they knew as the The Dagda, 'the goodly one'. He was their great Irish God of wizardry and druid craft; warrior, hero, chieftain, and King. Yet, though this man bore many names, one of the most well know is Ollathar, 'father of many'... and it is to this title that we will turn to today.
In this course we will dive into Ireland's ancient lore and explore the Dagda's role as a father and hearth keeper; a deity of domestic life, and a role model for healthy masculinity today.

"Second after the ancient texts I listen to what Jon has to say about An Dagda. His original work is so faithful to the sources that it's almost indistinguishable. There just isn't a better contemporary source." - Mac de Bride (UK)
Course Curriculum
Your Instructor
Jon O'Sullivan, known as An Scéalaí Beag, is an Irish Bard, teacher, and Pagan Reverend, a tour guide, author, and storyteller devoted to his patron deity, the Dagda, chief of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
He co founded the Irish Pagan School with his partner Lora O'Brien, and he shares the tales of the Good God across the IPS blog, the YouTube channel, and the podcast, where followers bring him their questions.
What that means for you is simple, you're learning the Dagda from someone who lives with these stories in the land they come from, and who holds them as living tradition rather than distant myth. He teaches from a beginner's mindset the whole way through, so a mix of experience in the room is an asset, never a barrier.
Jon lives with his family in County Waterford, Ireland, where he keeps weaving the words that connect people to Ireland's lore and traditions.

"Jon's storytelling and teaching are in a nice simple format that appeals to those who want to just sit down and read without all the extra adds on you find elsewhere, which makes them an enjoyable way to learn more about the deities. On top of this Jon is always willing to answer any questions you may have."
