I'm mind blown! I was researching about Christianity and what came before it within the uk and read it was paganism. Having now looked into it, its all starting to make sense to me this is me! Through out my life i have been always drawn to nature, my name Lee literally means meadow and i am gay so never felt like i was truly appreciated or excepted with Christianity because of this. I will have to look more into paganism because i am only just learning about it tonight but i feel like this is my calling so far. Thanks for sharing!

I always enjoy your channel and podcast, the free content is all I can afford in this season of my life, I appreciate you offering so much free education. On a side note your highlights in your hair are stunning Lora!

I needed this I’m struggling a lot to keep a daily practice in general and more so during our move go raibh math agat

Again my fault I couldn't watch it until now I was busy yesterday

"...even politicians." LOL! :D Animism is my path.

Lora, my 6 yo daughter got a glimpse on my phone when I was reading your newsletter and asked me what Paganism "actually" is. It led us to a beautiful conversation, some clarification and lots of other questions, thank you very much for the inspiration ✨️💕

Lilith indeed. 😅

Man, I've watched 3 videos now from this account looking for info on The Morrigan and have barely learned anything. Just giving the feedback, you guys are realllllly long winded and hardly get to the point of your content.

My goodness, you should stay away from paganism and get saved, our Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST is coming soon for the rapture! All the signs of the end times are visible all over the world! You can read biblical end times prophecy and look up Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.

Thank you Lora! I am looking forward to this class tomorrow!

Online Class: Irish Paganism: A Living Tradition - From Ancient Roots to Contemporary Practice, taught by a native Irish Draoí. - irishpagan.school/living

Holy shite! Jon! I would have lost it with the holy water incident... Wow! Great video and powerful words as usual.

Thank you.

I enjoyed this video

My mother told me, when I told her about a couple of odd things at about age 7, that I should not try to find things or use anything I "found." She had a gift for knowing things and quit playing cards with friends because it wasn't good to be too lucky. I have some Irish in my background, supposedly, but iI've got heritage from lots of sources. Being a stubborn child, I obeyed for awhile but forever, and scared myself silly in my twenties "playing" with stuff I shouldn't have. (My mother said "What did I tell you?! ") So I let it alone.

Thank you for the video and my fault I watched this so late

is it possible to have made a wish that got their attention?

So those of us outside of Ireland don't have to worry about the Other Crowd, even if we are Irish pagan? I mean they stay in Ireland, right? Love the channel by the way. Thanks for all your content.

NEED THAT TEE--where do I find it?

Not all Irish people agree with you. Some are very anti what you are for, and they are truly Irish. Just because you and your "followers" want to change things to be "back to the Earth hippies" doesn't mean that Ireland will return to being pagan. Most Irish are lapsed Roman Catholic or non religious and want to live a normal everyday life. I personally like to hear your stories of Irish history, but to me it's only that, history.

Thank you 😊

Thank you for the video & information as always. Enjoy the rest of your week & upcoming weekend

Go raibh maith agat, Lora. ❤❤❤

No

I’m so thankful for your story, the timing is amazing. I think I’m finding my way back to where I need to be. I’m learning 😊

9:48 I love it brother, thank you.

Love this ❤

To me you are such a source of clarification of information thank you

Would I want that..... f no! Totally right.

Well said, Jon. Well-lived, well-positioned, and well said.

Hi Jon, I respect both you and Lora and am extremely grateful to have found the IPS. I will admit that I did send a stupid email right at the beginning of my learning, which I apologise profusely for (I now know better and endeavour to do better). I have since been purposely not emailing the IPS because I'd hate to step over your boundaries inadvertently. I've worried that my questions would perhaps cause annoyance as they may seem stupid or too simple to warrant bothering you with. Maybe I'll be brave and email a question or two, but they won't be about my dreams, journeys, or supposed messages for you from deities (I dont have any for either of you, just for the record 😂). I'd never expect you to figure out my shite for me, but I have on occasion wanted to ask advice to point me in the right direction so I can go figure it out for myself. Mind yourselves and as always looking forward to your content here and on all your teaching platforms 😊

Great need for a hat this summer! Suits you sir

Well said

Caesar isn't a terribly reliable witness. He spent a few days in Southern Britain, getting as far as the Thames. Veni, vidi, erm abii ...

Thanks for the video

I am interested in any differences between the Republic of Ireland 's myths and Northern Ireland's myths. I realize that along the "border", there would not be likely to be a big difference. In particular, i never hear about County Tyrone. It would be interesting to hear myths by county. Just a thought. Thanks for all that you are doing, Lora and Jon. This is so important in keeping the real Irish traditions and beliefs alive.

I agree that with sovereignty comes great responsibility. And also, consent is a BIG DEAL whether Spiritual, Physical or Intellectual.

It's a definite problem, people who feel that they are a living embodiment of a Deity... The challenge is the demigods who do exist. There's no good outcome for demigods because they bridge the gap between humanity and deity. Or so it seems.

Love this. So well said.

❤🙏🏽

thank you, from the bottom of my queer trans little heart. i just want to say, these conversations happening here? is a large part of why i started spending time here years ago, and still remain. they are a Necessary conversations to have. so again. thank you. mini rant in the general direction of those who are "but i don't want to hear about how other people live crowd" the "i don't want to hear about anyone who's not living Just like how i like it" crowd tends to become the "taking other people's rights away " crowd Real Quick. someone you know, personally, is reading your words and knowing you're not a safe person to be vulnerable with as a human being, because well. they know you will not be ok with Who They Are at a fundamental level. its heartbreaking. end/rant.

while i do wish you'd used he/him pronouns for James, I am so grateful to hear cis people reinforcing and affirming that James was trans and he deserves to be seen as such in death. He went to jail rather than allow anyone to know his assigned sex, and i can imagine it would make him sick to hear how many people misgender him and use a literal MADE UP female name (not his birthname) over his literal identity and the name he died with. it is also really wonderful to hear it reaffirmed how welcoming and kind this space is to gender divergence, and it means a LOT to me. thank you for defending James from that terf

Omg, thank you so much! I totally agree!

Ceist, is there an Irish God or Goddess I could approach as a gender non-binary person to maybe work on reclaiming my self or personal sovereignty?

A great talk Thank you so much Jon.

Shamanism was the one spiritual practice that emerged with the consciousness of humanity. Shamanism and its nature and magic based belief is found in all cultures of this world. Once humans started to settle and organize life, so did Shamanism. The Temples of the early spiritual practices, going back as far as ancient Mesopotamia, were shamanistic based until a “creation story” further developed a religious organization by creating pantheons of anthropomorphic Gods and a hierarchy of priests. Each culture had their own way of organizing their previous shamanistic practices and beliefs around their own mythology and creation stories. The beginning of settled life splintered this homogeneous belief (found in all cultures from Africa to Europe and into the New World) and the stratification of the society gave birth to an increasingly rigid system of religious castes. The very specific knowledge these Paleolithic shamans possessed became an occult and arcane knowledge. The Mysteries (mystery religions/cults) were further outgrowths of “bottling up” this shamanistic magic for the “special few.” Druids were thus the Elite of the first Early European Farmers who settled Neolithic Europe. These early farmers arrived as early as the 7th millennium in the Iberian Peninsula where they erected the Cromlech d’Almendres. Britain and Ireland were only settled around 4000 BCE, thus many millennia after the first Cromlech (stone circle) went up on the continent. Therefore, it is not hard to believe that British/Irish druids were sent to the continent (France/Iberia) which had been the center of the megalithic religion/druidism many millennia before Britain/Ireland were first settled by these people. In summary, archaeological evidence places the beginning of what would later be called Druidism, in France and Iberia and therefore this region is the more likely candidate for the origin of the Druids. As the originating culture of Early European Farmers was increasingly replaced with Steppe ancestry, the Druidic belief took more and more local variations. The origin, and almost complete replacement of this Early European Farmer culture, that had brought the Megalithic based early religion to Europe, is another mystery yet to be solved. The spark of Druidism came to Europe with these early people/culture and their demise/replacement (before the advent of writing/history keeping) makes the study of them a strictly archaeological one at this point.
