A Love Letter from Weird Sisters Wellness
In a world that often forgets its roots, the Irish Pagan School is a sacred reminder: our ancestry matters. Our stories matter. And the land remembers.
Founded by native Irish practitioners Lora O'Brien and Jon O'Sullivan, this extraordinary online school isn’t just about Irish Paganism—it is Irish Paganism, taught by the people of the land, for seekers around the world who want to walk this path with reverence, not romance.
💚 Rooted, Real, and Radically Respectful
At its core, the Irish Pagan School is about authenticity. This is not a fluff-and-fairies vibe (though you’ll definitely meet the Sidhe)—this is ancestral education grounded in lived experience, cultural continuity, and historical record.
What sets this school apart isn’t just what it teaches—it’s how it teaches. They don’t just welcome everyone—they create space where learning happens with heart, with boundaries, and with bold clarity. If you're someone who's been afraid to ask the “stupid questions,” or who’s unsure how to practice respectfully, this school will hold you without hand-holding.
There is grace and rigor here.
🔥 Centering Native Irish Voices
Unlike many pagan spaces that dilute or distort traditions, the Irish Pagan School explicitly centers Irish voices. They don’t just "include" native perspectives—they are the foundation. Lora and Jon are not just scholars—they are cultural guardians who have dedicated their lives to teaching with integrity.
Courses prioritize primary sources: mythology from the original texts, lived folklore, and oral traditions passed down through generations. You’ll learn the real stories, not the Pinterest versions.
Whether it’s through deep dives like🔸 Meeting the Morrígan🔸 The Dagda’s Wisdom🔸 or Decolonizing Your Irish Spirituality, you'll be taught by those who know the land, know the language, and know the lore.
🌈 An Online Sanctuary for All Seekers
The Irish Pagan School radiates warmth. It’s queer-friendly, neurodivergent-inclusive, trauma-aware, and fully online—so anyone in the world can access these teachings, wherever they are. The tone is refreshingly punky, scholarly, and protective of tradition without gatekeeping those who approach with humility and care.
You won’t be asked to perform Irishness. You will be asked to show up honestly and to listen.
🌀 Learn Without Appropriation
In every course, there is a clear ethical thread: learn with respect, not entitlement. The School actively teaches against appropriation—offering clear guidance for those outside of Ireland on how to walk in right relationship with these traditions.
It’s not just about knowledge. It’s about right action, spiritual accountability, and reconnecting to ancestral wisdom without pretending to be something you’re not.
💌 Why We Love Them at Weird Sisters Wellness
Because they do it right. Because they make magic real. Because they prove that you can be welcoming and hold boundaries. Because their classes make us weep with recognition, joy, and relief. And because in a world full of spiritual scams and aesthetic-only magic, the Irish Pagan School says: “Come as you are. Come with care. The stories are waiting.”
