For centuries, Irish mythology was preserved orally by the druids, the learned class among the Celts. These oral traditions kept alive the stories of goddesses like Brigid and Morrigan, ensuring their place in cultural memory.

The comparison between Celtic goddesses and modern women highlights enduring themes of strength, versatility, and the quest for respect and equality. While the contexts differ significantly—mythological reverence versus real-world challenges—the essence of female empowerment, complexity and significance remain a constant thread through time.

For more information on these goddesses and the themes surrounding their stories, along with a practical and fun session, get in touch with Sharon from Macha Workshops.
