Thank you. I really needed this. I struggle sometimes with trying to get beyond the Christian moral binary and spiritual transcendentalism (i.e. the supremacy of a single deity over the others) when studying the old gods. I also really appreciate the point that a god like the Morrigan isn't just representative of "some archetypal need being met" which I agree is overly simplistic.
Thank you so much for this Lora! I always love watching your videos and interacting through instagram! So the interesting part was about how people see An Mórrígan as a mother figure. I find it intriguing because I see her as a mother figure but not what people typically think. I see her more of like a foster mother, like being a warrior training under her and enduring her tough love but only because she is trying to help. And I think thats what made me really love and appreciate her. I always had a wonderful relationship with my mom, and even though my mom is definitely nurturing she has this sort of tough love like An Mórrígan, except An Mórrígan is a lot more tough love, and blunt, and is always ready for me to get to work. It’s so interesting how people have seen her as this hyper feminine goddess but in reality she is very much a masculine goddess. Not that she can’t be feminine and whatnot, but she definitely has a more analytical mind when interacting with her. Thank for you educating on this!
Thank you Lora. This was spot in in my quest to comprehend what exactly should I do vis a vis The Morrigan. Most especially it sends me back to the Mother Mary (the Theotokos or God Bearer)as I have a deep mother wound from growing up in an abusive sociopathic narcissist -mom household. But I do feel like the Morrigan, the Dagda and Brigid have work for me as well. I'm quite ill today so I'm not making a lot of sense. But I feel like a seed cracked open with this video. Go raibh míle maith agat! lan!!
Oh, Lora! I love your scholarship and your presentation. You are on fire and on point, sharing these profound intricacies, which my spirit has been singing out for right now and for soooo long. Thank you for your service 🙏 You are a kick arse warrior Draoí 🐦⬛ Slan go foill

Hello from south Louisiana! Love your and Jon’s approach on the views of lore. I would love to come visit the school at some point in the near future.
They don't do tours!
I know this will explain & help people out like every video you all do for the community 👍🏻 keep up the great work
Really good explanation. Thanks
Watched it twice.
Demonisation of powerful femme folks is so prevalent if they can't be "corrected" or converted. Great video thank you Lora.
How are you in a country that was resolutely Catholic for over a thousand years and have a low church Protestant understanding?
