    Draíocht Ceoil And The Power Of Irish Folk Sound With Geraldine Moorkens Byrne

    What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode? We talk with Irish author Geraldine Moorkens Byrne about reclaiming Irish tradition through language, lived practice, and the sound that shapes spellwork. She shares how listening, humming, and careful words can change your magic and your life, then we end with folklore and a collaborative Beltane-style blessing.  • how the Irish Pagan School approaches indigenous Irish traditions with scholarship and lived practice  • learning Irish as an adult and releasing shame through “better broken Irish than clever English”  • why “witch” does not translate cleanly in Ireland and why bean feasa “woman of knowledge” fits better  • using sound in magic through place attunement, pitch, and words of power  • why humming shows up repeatedly in Irish folklore and folk practice  • folk cautions around whistling at night and speaking invitations out loud  • struggles in practice: nuance, rabbit holes, and choosing practice over endless research  • joy as a skill: stopping long enough to hear birdsong or a perfect line of poetry  • what the magical community needs more of: permission to find things hard and learn slowly  • influences on practice: family, friends, and finding a supportive “tribe” online  • Draíocht Ceoil book details, classes, and where to find Geraldine  • co-crafting a spring into summer blessing using flowers, fire, and rising sound  See more of Geraldine at the links below: celebratingwords.com Instagram- @gerceltauthor tiktok- @draiochtceoil Support the show Support the show and get tons of bonus content, videos, monthly spell boxes, and more at CrepuscularConjuration.com!
