Are you interested in Celtic Paganism, but don’t know where to turn for good information? Maybe it feels like the topic is impossibly big, or like every time you ask a question you get sent in a different direction.
This course is designed with you in mind!

I want to make a safe place where you can figure out what your questions are.
Where no one will laugh at you when you’re struggling to get from A to B, because you can’t figure out which map to buy.
Not knowing which map to buy. That’s often the trouble with getting started, I think. So, this class series will be about showing you a few different maps and how to read them.
You get to choose your own journey, explore you own by-ways, and probably make your own wrong turnings. But that will be okay, because you should come out of this with as set of maps, and maybe a list of people to call for assistance.
I can’t tell you how to do your religion or spirituality. (That’s not my style, but I can probably point you to a few people who will do that, who are trustworthy.)
I can help you make sense of the different Celtic cultures and languages and regions. Hint: there’s more than Ireland (but you probably know that).
There are things I won't be teaching about: Witchcraft and magic. Norse and Germanic questions. The good people/fae/fairies, etc. I don’t dislike any of these things, but I’m either not that interested or just don’t know enough.
However, I’m knowledgeable about: Gods and goddesses of different Celtic cultures, mythology of Ireland and Wales, folklore of Scotland and other Celtic places, Celtic languages, and I’m not too bad at the history and geography that relates to all this.
