In this episode, Lora speaks directly to the tension many seekers feel when working with the Mórrígan: the pressure, the discomfort, the sense of being pushed rather than soothed. Instead of treating challenge as a sign you are doing something wrong, we explore how it is woven into her role in the Irish tradition.
Drawing on Gulermovich Epstein’s research and the sovereignty framework laid out in The Mórrígan, Ireland’s Goddess, Lora explains why this goddess appears at moments of upheaval, decision, and change. She is a catalyst for movement, clarity, and boundary-setting, not a source of comfort or personal validation.
You’ll hear a powerful student insight from the Morrigan Intensive that shows this in practice, and you’ll get one small, doable sovereignty exercise you can apply today.
