Right Relationship Is Not Spiritual Performance
S02E07 – Right Relationship Is Not Spiritual Performance
In this episode of the Morrigan Academy Podcast, Lora explores what right relationship actually looks like when stripped of intensity, pressure, and spiritual performance. Moving beyond online narratives that equate devotion with constant effort or emotional overwhelm, this episode reframes relationship with the Mórrígan as something lived, sustainable, and rooted in honest behaviour over time.
Drawing on Irish cultural logic and scholarship, including a key insight from Gulermovich Epstein on continuity versus consistency in mythology, Lora unpacks why quiet phases, pauses, and changes in practice are not signs of failure, but part of how real relationships function.
You’ll be invited to examine where intensity may have replaced commitment, and how steadiness, consent, and repair form the backbone of ethical relationship in Irish tradition.
