Who is the Cailleach?
The ‘Crone’. A powerful personage, full of wisdom and experience…A seasoned deity who rules the winter months…In keeping with the triple aspect of the Celtic tradition, the Cailleach evolved from the Maiden and The Mother. She is the embodiment of our Wise Selves. She is the Wise Old Woman.
Our guide, Patricia (Patsy) Brennan is a native of Ireland and a lover of the Old Ways. Formerly a scientist, she is a folklorist, breathwork trainer and crystal lover, Patsy considers herself a fully evolved Cailleach, and Creative Researcher Of New Experiences (CRONE) as she continues to research Life and all that intrigues her.
Over the course of three evenings, Patsy will explore the influences of each of the triple aspects (Maiden, Mother and Crone) and through them, how it is that we have come to be who it is that we now are. Through exploring the lore, meditation and cognitive practices and by sharing our collective wisdom, this series is designed to be a celebration of the wisdom and gifts of women in their middle and later stages of life.
Only $33 per person for all 3 classes

Ogham with Morgana @ Modern Druid
2022-12-14 - 2022-12-15 | Modern Druid, 60 S. Broadway, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
OGHAM WITH MORGANA
Ogham, the mysterious ancient Irish alphabet, is based on a set of characters (feda) that are associated with specific trees and/or plants and is considered to represent an ancient system of knowledge. Most often used today for divination, each letter symbol has specific, and often complicated, and multi-faceted, concepts associated with each one. The 20 symbol letters (‘feda’) are organized across 4 ‘families’ (aicme). Morgana will guide us in learning about each feda and its associated plant over the course of a year.
We will learn where Ogham originated, how to pronounce and write the feda, and utilize plant matter, teas, poetry, art, historical lore, guided meditations and of course the Ogham Intention Oils, to integrate us with each plant’s healing essence.
Sign up for a single class, an Aicme of 5, or all 20 classes!
