Traditional Wicca in Ireland - Interview with Irish Pagan Priestess Barbara Lee

[@shadowcadence378]

I love that it goes from light to dark outside over the course of this video. Synchronicity with the topic of polarity and balance

[@YvonneAburrow]

I thought that too!

[@tyson7687]

I am SO LATE to this video but it was like I was there with tea in hand. I love seeing you smile and the stories are wonderful!!!!

[@marge3900]

This is the healthiest humn interaction I've seen in years. My nervous system thanks you both immensely

[@Theshamanman130]

For someone whose not wiccan or never met Barbara this is a great insight to the lady and her journey THANKS Lora for another great interview/video

[@xlilithathamex6420]

Can't wait to meet you both mom. I love you so much. See you soon. Paving the way for the world to see us for who we exist as now. The Mórrígan's name is now my sacred name along with many others as you know. - Adaïr

Thank you for doing this interview because it is an important recording of Neopagan history. The first Pagan book I ever bought was by the Farrars and I had always wondered what happened to the people the Farrars initiated into Wicca in Ireland.

[@OtakuGenx]

Thank you so much, I loved this! Reminds me so much of talking to my Mama Janet. I as do many in my small circle of friends come from very small farming towns and are so connected to the land and it is so nice hearing others that are so connected. Thank you both and Blessed Be.

I'm only 15 minutes in, and I'm finding so much I can relate to here. I started learning and practicing Wicca when I was a teenager in the american south-west. After moving to Alaska, I can 100% agree, it's so important to listen to the place you're in and practice in a way that fits it. It took a good couple years after moving to get in touch with what was going on around me to where I feel really comfortable in my practice again.

Great interview sisters. Looking fab Barb. I know I learned so much from my time in your coven.❤️ Btw it was Mahatma Gandhi who said Be the change 🌞 xxx

[@kimberlyhornby9595]

Fascinating video. I am about the same age as Barbara but did not actually start on my path until I was in my forties. By the time arrived things were much more public. Thanks for this. And I get the ecology stuff

[@desleydavis3031]

Thank you felt like i was sitting with you having a cup of tea and a chat.

[@kathleenmay5580]

Many of us in America are nature based wiccan. It makes sense that our Irish, Welsh, English and Scottish ancestors brought their gods and goddess with them so therefore they are sacred to our land also. Love the chat!

[@Haultauhmonop]

Agreed, I was actually quite confused about what they mean by that being the biggest difference. That's never been my experience.

[@YvonneAburrow]

This was such a lovely video. So nice to hear & see Barb again xxx

[@spineridersinthesky4991]

That saxophone had my attention the whole time lol

[@MyThecount]

Amazing

[@sharonmoran9379]

Do you have any videos about pagan practices before Wicca came out? I really want to learn about ancient Irish beliefs.

[@templemu]

Fascinating; my only criticism is that everything to do with paganism and wiccan religion is t it is very Dublin-based; but true it also is that people find each other if they are meant to find each other. So patience is required.

[@Ogham]

Dublin is the major population centre though?! More people = More Pagans ;-)

[@silverselina2382]

Great video and I used to have the same armchairs!

[@vanessagannon7488]

[@nicolakeeling3670]

[@victoriahades8310]

We'll there's all different types of roots and practice and Wicca some have background roots and practice of different roots of Greek Egyptian it's just depends on the varmint & country or state there's some from in the old German Ireland African Hawaiian I mean there's different routes individual

[@lauradunne8209]

Loved watching this. Lovely memories of chats and tea and magical learnings over in Barbara's house.

[@heyitsjay7953]

Hey I’m a 16 year old witch from Dublin and I’m alone in this could you give me some pointers of how to find a “witch mammy” thank you 💕

[@Ogham]

Hey! Because you're under 18 unfortunately you're going to have to wait til 18 for folk to meet you in person. Please don't meet anyone who's willing to meet a teen, they are not your witch mammy I promise! Feel free to get in touch on social media (loraobrien.ie/contact/) and join up some of the Irish groups like Brigid's Forge, the Dagda's Hearth, The Morrigan's Cave... and the Irish Pagan School Community. You'll make friends that way, and later on your can start going to a reputable monthly moot run by www.Paganliferites.org and meet people in person.

[@Ogham]

Also - I do offer a full scholarship for Irish folks under 21 to any of my courses you'd like on www.IrishPaganSchool.com - join the mailing list at www.LoraOBrien.ie and send me an email and I'll sort you out for any of the courses.

[@johnlavers3970]

isn't wicca just gardnerian colonialism?
