✨ FREE LEARNING RESOURCES FOR A YEAR! - https://irishpagan.school/free

In this video, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the heart-wrenching story of Sadhbh, the mother of Oisín, from Irish mythology. Sadhbh's tragic fate begins when she is magically transformed into a deer against her will by the Dark Man, known as an fear doirche. 

Her eventual escape to the home of Fionn mac Cumhaill, her brief happiness, and her ultimate loss make for one of the saddest tales from the Fenian Cycle.

Discover how Sadhbh’s story ties into Fionn, his loyal hounds Bran and Sceolan, and the birth of Oisín, one of Ireland’s greatest legendary heroes. This tale also reflects the darker side of Irish folklore, where shapeshifting isn’t always a gift but a curse.

Rowan Ives  recommends The Irish Pagan School...  
"The courses at the Irish Pagan School offer an in-depth approach to Irish paganism that is based on genuine history and folklore. There is so much here for curious learners of all levels to gain knowledge and insight on their spiritual paths while avoiding the misinformation that is sadly common in popular  modern paganism. I have benefited greatly from the classes and look forward to taking more."
