What I did on My Holidays

I could have been really cheesy and called this post 'The Italian Job', but that would be beneath me. Beneath me, I say.

I was very pleased to be invited to speak at the Convegno Nazionale Autunnale Druidismo e Stregoneria in the North of Italy, near the Alps.

I presented a talk on the Morrigan to a crowd of about 40 people, and did a Guided Journey workshop in the afternoon. My translator was wonderful, and worked really hard to get the spirit of the words just right. I took care of the pronunciations in Irish myself, because, in fairness, sometimes even I find those ones tough to get the tongue around.  The following day was a full day workshop in the wonderful Tempio della Luna in Milan - 'Working with the Irish Gods'. It was a tough day, but one that very productive and fruitful, even in the long term I think, for those involved.

I've been asked to consider running a teaching programme for those interested in training towards priesthood with the Morrigan, who is my matron Goddess. It's not something I had planned for myself, but it ties in with the 'Phase 2' work that Herself has been pushing me towards for the last few months. I suppose I'd better give it a go so :-/
