Prophecy, Divination, and Sacred Speech
Episode 22: Prophecy, Divination, and Sacred Speech - The Morrigan’s Words in Practice
This episode digs into the Morrigan’s role as prophet and diviner, and what “sacred speech” really means in the Irish tradition. Together, we’ll explore how prophecy isn’t just about predicting the future, but about shaping and witnessing the world through skilled and mindful words.
You’ll get practical insight into the differences between rosc poetry, prophecy, and everyday divination, and how these show up in real life. Not just in story, but in personal practice.
If you want deeper connection to Irish lore and honest, grounded guidance for your path, you’ll find it here.

"As a stickler for authentic information(wherever possible in this space) I love Lora's books and this one is no different. There are very few authors I trust to put out legitimate information about The Morrigan or the Irish pantheon and pagan practices in general and they are at the top of the list. If you want to build your relationship to The Morrigan or just understand her better than this is the book for you."

THE book on The Morrigan

"If you are interested in the Morrigan, this book is for you. If you are seeking deeper information about Her, this book is for you, and if you want to become a devote or priestess of the Morrigan, this book is definitely for you! Lora O'Brien has written a comprehensive, multi-leveled book covering the Morrigan through history; the mythology, the people who followed Her, called upon Her and how She was a part of their own lives in Ireland, and also how She and Her teachings can be relevant to your life today. Meticulously researched, the author gives you all the information you need to start your own quest and pathworking with the Great Raven Queen. This, however, is not a book of dogmatic instructions to mindlessly follow - Lora O'Brien gives you all the information and resources from her own years of working with the Morrigan for you to work from, even providing an exercise and reflective journal prompt at the end of each chapter to help you on your own journey with this Goddess, who in Lora's own words "embodies strength, resilience, insight, activism and transformation, offering us inspiration to develop our own warrior mindset.". Even more, she had included an invaluable Resources Guide, including a list of pronunciations, references and glossary. This book is one that you will read again and again, as you dive deeper into Ireland's Goddess."
