There's a lot of new folk following the blog and visiting from the Patreon Page, so I thought I'd give some extra background info if you're not sure who I am and why I might be 'Speaking for Ireland' here.

If you're coming across my work you'll see various author bios, some more updated than others. But there's a radio interview I did from a few years back, and a recent one on Google Hangouts that might be more useful than stuff I wrote about myself.
Click to Download the Radio Interview File (mp3) In short, I'm a native Irish woman with a very long history in 'Pagan' spiritual and magical experience, and a long enough history in Irish heritage management, guiding and education. My writing and teaching is mostly about Ireland: our archaeology, indigenous spirituality, mythology, ancestry, and culture; while I guide folk (both physically and metaphorically!) to an authentic connection to Ireland.
