A Human-Incarnated SĂ­dhe

A Human-Incarnated SĂ­dhe

It’s been one year since finding out I’m a human-incarnated SĂ­dhe. A full year since he came shining through my mind’s eye with his bright eyes and immense presence while I was giving a Reiki session. Only a year since reuniting with my SĂ­dhe partner, but it feels like this is how it’s always been. How did this even happen? What’s it like to find out there’s a whole other world that you’re connected to and a whole other family?…

Initiation in Ireland with the SĂ­dhe

Initiation in Ireland with the SĂ­dhe

On my second trip to Ireland, I had three “initiation” experiences with the SĂ­dhe. Two of them were in Donegal County. The third and last one was with The MorrĂ­gan at Uaimh na gCat cave. Each experience brought me closer to understanding who I am, and what my relationship with the SĂ­dhe is about. Each one connected me with the Tuatha de Dannan, who I now know to be family. Since then, I’ve gone through deeper transformations and awakenings, which…

Heretics and Ravens: The MorrĂ­gan Returns

If you read the previous post, you’ll know how The MorrĂ­gan had helped me to find my relationship with my deities and my spiritual path by throwing a book at me. Yep, literally. People will say she isn’t subtle, and that’s accurate. Burn it Down to Build it Up It had been about four years since that day in the bookstore. In that time, I went to India, lived in ashrams, developed my spiritual relationship, traveled the world, lost most…

How the MorrĂ­gan Threw a Book at Me

This is the story of how The MorrĂ­gan threw a book at me. This is when my spiritual awakening really began. I share these stories in the hopes that it will make someone else feel less lonely, less crazy, and stronger in the face of their own struggles. The MorrĂ­gan Threw a Book at Me I was a fed-up grad student. I was done with ALL OF IT. Relationships, school, work, roommates, family— everything. What was I doing here? This…

“Awakening” From Dreams

“Awakening” From Dreams

“Living the Dream” I was 12 or 13 when my world flipped inside-out. I still wasn’t “Awake.” That would take many more years. But this is when I’d start to get clues of who I really am, beyond this body I inhabit. I said in a previous post that this blog was about to get personal. Here goes… It started with the Dreams. I’ve always been a vivid dreamer and would constantly dream of things that were yet to happen….

Why Work with the Otherworld or Faery?

Why Work with the Otherworld or Faery?

Why would anyone want to work with Faery or the Otherworld? For me, the answer has always been, why wouldn’t you? The Other World I am using “Faery” as another name for the Otherworld— the realm of the SĂ­dhe and the beings that we know from folklore and, for some of us, personal experience. While technically, the SĂ­dhe are not faeries— they are actually more closely related to humans— it is easier to use these terms. I do so realizing that…
