The Other Crowd - Na Daoine Sidhe

Working with the Irish Sidhe, the Fairies; the tribes and traditions of the Good Neighbours of Ireland. (Two Classes)

  Enroll in Course

Learn about the Tribes and Traditions of Ireland, na Daoine Sidhe - TWO classes in one.

In these classes I will share my work, knowledge and experience with the Other Crowd - the Irish Sidhe or ‘Fairies’ (the people and the places), and how you can stay safe while doing the same.

Everybody wants to work with Fairies (unless you’ve taken one of my classes on the Sidhe – then maybe not so much?) – but how do you do manage them out in the wilds, or in and around your home without being over-run, having your tasty liver eaten all up, or, never being able to find ANYTHING you’re looking for?

This course (2 classes) looks at types of Sidhe, when and how to work with them (or not), and how to stay safe* in the process.

"I was lucky enough to take this workshop and I can’t recommend it enough... Lora and I have a very similar view of the Other Crowd, so if you like my writing about Themselves I think you’ll love this online class – I certainly loved the in-person one, and it was one of the first times I’ve been to any class or workshop about Them and nodded along with the speaker (and not left twitching and foaming at the mouth). Lora has a great, engaging teaching style and she really knows her stuff. So, if this subject interests you and you’ve been looking for a class on it – here you go."
