These are difficult times, and my Gods, Guides and Guardians have been prompting (and pushing!) me to offer advice and support to Spiritual Entrepreneurs who want to start or grow their businesses. Here's a little about my background, and how I ended up doing this work.
I am a modern Draoí – a practitioner and priest of native Irish magic and spirituality, consciously following a Pagan path since 1994, and dedicated specifically to the Irish Goddess Mórrígan in 2004. Before starting my own spiritual business, I professionally managed one of Ireland's most important sacred heritage sites - Cruachán/Rathcroghan - for a decade, while writing and publishing non fiction books.
All told, I have 25+ years personal and professional experience in my native history, heritage, archaeology, mythology, and pre-christian Irish Spirituality. Book publications include - Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch, 2004 (2nd Edition, 2020); A Practical Guide to Irish Spirituality, 2013; Rathcroghan - a Journey, 2015; Tales of Old Ireland - Retold, 2018; Harp, Club & Cauldron - A Harvest of Knowledge [editor, essay], 2018; Politics, Kinship and Culture in Gaelic Ireland [essay], (Wordwell) 2018; A Practical Guide to Pagan Priesthood, (Llewellyn) 2019; and The Irish Queen Medb, 2020.
With my partner, Jon O'Sullivan (An Scéalaí Beag), I run EelandOtterPress.net, and the IrishPaganSchool.com - an online learning environment where you can connect to the heritage, culture and spirituality of Ireland in an authentic and meaningful way, every day. And now I'm sharing these Spiritual Business skills and experience with you.
