Explore the realms of physical, emotional and spiritual preparation for Imbolc




Join me as I work through the specific practices and processes that I follow as I prepare for Imbolc. This is the basic framework I use throughout the year to deepen and enrich my spiritual life. It's also extremely practical and adaptable to circumstances and resources.

Are you confused about what to do in preparation for Imbolc? You've read about people holding rituals, leaving out bits of cloths, lighting candles, but you're really not sure about what this means for you? This is the course for you!.

What will you experience?


Learn of my three-fold preparation framework for any ritual, but especially Imbolc, connected as it is with Brigid. Explore how the Smith, the Poet and the Healer interconnect and interact with the realms of the physical, the emotional and the spiritual.

Experience the practices that allow me to prepare for an Imbolc of my choosing, every year, no matter what time or energy I have available. Design your own Imbolc ritual or practice, drawing deeply on the traditional elements of Irish people for generations, while also taking into account the needs of the modern era.

Who am I and why should you listen to me?


I'm an Irish Pagan Catholic, working most of the time with Irish Brigid, but sure the rest of the family drop in as they wish, as well. (Seriously, the TDD are a whole family)

I've been working with and for Brigid for decades and honestly, I've had many an experience with her. I've the native experience to be able to back up the lore and I'm willing to share what I've learned with you. And trace it back to the lore.

In this course, I'm offering a structure to prepare for Imbolc, the Imbolc of your dreams. I will share with you my three-phase preparation schedule, the Irish ritual opening and closing words I use, and where they come from, as well as countless other bits of information along the way.

The course is broken into 5 sections with short videos making up each section to make this digestible and easy to follow. And there are a few extra resources to help with the self-exploration you'll be doing and with Irish pronunciation.

The physical realm


We will explore the physical realm and how we can ground and centre outselves, prepare ourselves for Imbolc.

The emotional realm


We get less solid here, but we will learn about emotions, how they link to Brigid and what we need to do to emotionally prepare for ritual!

The spiritual realm


Well, now here's where it gets exciting!! We hit the spiritual realm and get into the magic side of ritual. We'll talk about magic, preparation, what you want to achieve...

"I appreciated Órlagh’s depth of knowledge on both aspects of Brigid, the Goddess, and the Saint (one and the same, but from different perspectives). She seamlessly draws together the Irish cosmology of Land Sea and Sky into a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to general ritual preparation and the Imbolc season.


The lessons and check-ins de-mystify the process of ritual development and allow for an organic, personal expression to emerge. I have used the materials from the class to aid in my personal relationship with Brigid and in the building process for my priesthood and public ceremonies. The meditations are useful for any of the Irish fire festivals or for devotional and relationship building.


Órlagh’s approach does not tell you what to do, she leads you to discover the methods and practices that work for You! This class is beneficial for the experienced practitioner wanting a fresh approach or the beginner, just learning about Brigid. This class has been one I return to on the regular for guidance and inspiration. I love the Irish language prayers and the care she takes to ensure understanding and pronunciation. I can’t recommend [this course] enough; It was truly fantastic" Jenna, (2021)
