"I love Lora’s teaching style and find myself re-examining so much of my prior learning and enjoying my practice so much more; I’ve definitely rediscovered a connection that was waning prior to engaging with these courses. Thank you!"

Frequently Asked Questions


How long do I have to complete this course?
When you enroll in this course, you will be sent information by email (Fáilte - Your Access to the Irish Pagan School), and you can take things at your own pace from there - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long will my enrollment last for?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this version of the recordings for as long as you remain a member of the Irish Pagan School - across any and all devices you own. So, you can take your time, or get it all done quickly - it's up to you.

Do I need to have Irish ancestry to study here?
No, absolutely not. We provide authentic connection to Ireland, from native Irish teachers, for anyone who wishes to learn from us and is willing to put in the time and effort to do this properly, rather than grab a culturally appropriated quick fix.

"Thank you for the class, Lora. I am already enrolled in others and am learning many new things. I've been everything you can think of (Episcopal, Evangelical, Unitarian, pre-Vatican 2 Catholic, Atheist, Buddhist) in the process of searching for The Divine and finding out if there truly is anything beyond and after this physical existence. I'm not sure what my skeptical mind will accept at this point in my life but I am willing to give Irish Paganism an honest, deep look. Thank you for giving your time and devotion to opening this world up to seekers like me 🙂"

"So informative and organized and I love the no BS attitude and disclaimers about UPG. I also loved the records about Irish Folk cures and knowledge on when to plant, when to harvest, when to remove warts from your eyes! As my first class, I am so glad that I feel like I spent the last 2.5+ hours learning something practical and meaningful. Even the example of the Moon Phases in terms of Excercise/Weight Loss was really useful in helping me understand considering the entire Lunar Cycle in your goals and practice. I am not sure what or how I am going to write this prayer or meditation but the Super New Moon is in 14 days so we will find out!"
