Getting Started with Meditation & Guided Journeys

Level One - a simple, Free mini Course to get you started and build a strong foundation for future Journeys in the Irish Otherworld.

With a unique blend of Irish Mythology, Allegory, Psychology, and Native Irish Journeying techniques, in this course you'll learn how to travel safely to and from the boundary edges of the Irish Otherworld, and access Level 1 of this system - Working on the Beach.

This FREE course will provide practical tools to explore your personal development, introduce you to this system, and build strong foundations for further travel in the Irish Otherworld. The technique can form a solid basis for all your Spiritual & Magical work, as it has for my own (and many other students) during the last decade and more.

She has been consciously following a spiritual path exploring her native Irish traditions for 30 years, dedicated specifically to the Irish Goddess Mórrígan in 2004, and is the author of seven books on Irish history, mythology, folklore, witchcraft, Pagan practice and priesthood. Her eighth book, on the Mórrígan, will be published by Llewellyn (2025). She professionally developed and managed one of Ireland's most important sacred sites - Cruachán/Rathcroghan - for a decade, and is a co-founder and legal celebrant with Pagan Life Rites Ireland. With her partner, Jon O'Sullivan, she is the co-founder of the Irish Pagan School, and together they create a vast amount of community service content for the Irish Pagan School Blog, YouTube Channel, and Podcast. Lora founded the Ogham Academy in 2022, and has a Masters Degree in Irish Regional History (2023) on the topic of Ogham and Irish Identity. (Pronouns: She/They)


I have found your journeys to be so much better than any that I have been offered. I love how you get everyone started - especially the beach! I am very much into liminal time and space and the beach, being an edge, certainly is liminal space. I believe that most anyone, after doing a few of these, will be well on their way to independent journies of their own.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why is it Free - What's the Catch?
I am a Priest and a Draoí of the Old Religion of Ireland. As such, I have a duty of service and responsibility to my community, and to any who want to connect to Ireland in an authentic way. Yes, I could charge for the free courses I offer through the Irish Pagan School. To be honest, I think folk might appreciate them more, and do more work with the materials, if they were paying for it. BUT, there's plenty to pay for if you want to support the work I do. This one is a gift from a Draoí, for free.

"The Journey’s program was an amazing experience that not only helped me to relax and center myself. It helped to deepen my practice spiritually using Lora’s technique on the 'Beach'. I learned many things about myself with each journey and felt that I was building on each experience. I highly recommend it!"
