Kings of Ireland

Exploring Kingship in Pre-Colonised Gaelic Ireland

  Enroll in Course

Ireland once had its own rulers. There were many who were known as King in Ireland. The land was separated by tribe or Tuatha, but even in its most fractious state there were those who rose above all to rule.

Kingship in Ireland was not an easy task to perform, no simple life of luxury and indulgence. Kingship was a struggle of service and survival where only the truly talented, or ruthless, could succeed.

Led by Jon O'Sullivan, a native Irish bard, this online course delves into the lore of Ireland’s kingship and touches on the tales of some of the island’s most famous rulers. We offer a scholarly, yet accessible approach to understanding Irish mythology and spirituality, filling the void in your quest for authentic Irish pagan knowledge.

Taking this class opens the door to further exploration of a pre-colonised Ireland and shows that the history of the island is not one of barbarity and brutality. Instead it is a place of order, justice, and family. Taking this class might leave you wondering what Ireland might have been without external invasion.

Jon O'Sullivan
Jon O'Sullivan
Jon O'Sullivan (An Scéalaí Beag) is an Irish tour guide, weaver of words, a teller of tales of his patron Deity, the Dagda, chief of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
He runs a blog, posting monthly stories - inspired by the native lore (and sometimes directly dictated by Big D himself). His Patreon gives you early access to the tales, as well as having the stories told directly to you in the form of audio downloads. He lives with his family in County Waterford, Ireland. With his partner, Lora O'Brien, he is the co-founder of the Irish Pagan School.
"It's not always easy to find the words... but when you find the right words, you can change hearts and minds." - An Scéalaí Beag

"This was very useful in breaking down the elements of the charms, and the theory behind them. I'm so grateful for the resources provided for further study! GRMA!!"

"Informative and concise, this class gives the student an opportunity to immediately apply the knowledge acquired in most practical ways. The no-nonsense approach, which has become a staple for classes in Irish Pagan School, left me with the sense of clarity and appreciation for the Irish heritage of charms and its application…"
