“There is a special word for this recognition of sentience, mothaitheacht. It was described as a feeling in the upper chest of some kind of energy or sound passing through you.”

— Diana Beresford-Kroger in "To Speak for the Trees"

Beloved Presence and the Cailleach Ken Library are Celtic wisdom and spirit informed however, it isn’t just for Celtic connecting people.

This is for anyone that feels a sense of love and kinship with the natural world and wants to take it further with focus and intention.

What is the Cailleach Ken Library?

“Ken” means ‘knowing, learning, teaching’ and Cailleach is the Crone/Hag/Witch/Land/Earth/Ancestor/Goddess of the Celts.

The Cailleach Ken Library sits in the middle of the cross-roads of all the things I love: Spirit, the Land, Ancestors, Learning, Growth and authentic expression of Soul Self in the World of Form…

…and Witch Widsom.

An Cailleach is the source for the Halloween witch. Long live the Hag and all Her power and magick. She is the Guardian of Land and woe be unto those who live without recognizing Land as the First Teacher.

I love the natural world.

I love the trees, the animals, my houseplants, my cats. I love the veggies and the flowers and the bees. I love the squirrels and chipmunks and blue jays and starlings. I love the hawk that comes and makes everyone scurry for cover.

I love them all as kin. They are my family and I love them with a depth of feeling that makes some people uncomfortable.

The natural world is a Beloved Presence.

This feeling sense for the natural world is embodied in Celtic culture. The Draoi have a word for the recognition of soul in another. It is Mothaitheacht (mo-HAHt-yiat) in Irish and Mothachadh (mo-HAH-hchraig) in Gaelic.

Because of my deep love for the natural world, I passionately encourage building communication and friendship with the natural world around us.

The Cailleach Ken Library shares how to do this so that you can build your communion with Spirit in the World.

I encourage experiencing the natural world as a Beloved Presence and developing ourselves to be a Beloved Presence in return.

You had me at "I love the natural world".

You’re invited!

Welcome to “Magick Chat”.

Every other Tuesday at 1 pm et., I’ll be on Zoom with whomever wants to come hangout and talk about Spirit, or their lives, or what’s up -

Or maybe you want to rant about something.

Maybe you need someone to hear you.

Maybe you need to speak something out into the world for the first time - just to hear how it sounds, just to know what that feels like in your body.

Whatever you need - we’re here to be a Beloved Presence to one another.

I send a Zoom invitation link to members of the Cailleach Ken Library. Click to join!

Community on the Beloved Presence Discord

Joining the Chat! (Seriously, it’s just me right now and as much as I love being alone - I’d love to chat with you all about your experiences of Spirit in the World.)

Share experiences, feedback, support and community on this often baffling walk of being spirit in a world of form.

I'd like to join a Spirit-on-Earth based Community

This is from the first day live and it was just me, talking to myself… and quite enjoying it. LOL!

Tabhartas Bòid (Votive Offerings)

Tabhartas Bòid (TAV-ar-tis BOW-j)

This mini teaching is an introduction to reciprocity with the natural world. It is a primer for reaching out to Beloved Presence in the physical world and asking to begin relationship.

Tabhartas Bòid is an ancient Celtic practice that most nature lovers are already doing in some way or another; this teaching brings Spiritual intent and focus into action.

Yep, I want this

Bhraitheann Anam (Sensing Soul)

Bhraitheann Anam (BREH-hen AH-num)

This mini teaching and downloadable worksheet is the next step in our relationship with Spirit in the physical world. This worksheet shows step-by-step how to use mothaitheacht communication with beings in the natural world to access wisdom about ourselves and dissolve the blocks to our personal progress.

Braitheann Anam brings our feelings to the Altar of Land for processing. This is beautiful healing love offered to us by the Earth in Wholiness. This is a threshold to Witch Wisdom.

Yep, I want this

Ancestor Chats

This is pretty much what it sounds like; practice communicating with ancestors and the Unseen.

Your ancestors are eager to share their wisdom and tidings of love. Get in touch and begin Ancestor Chats.

Fite Fuaite

Fite Fuaite (FEE-tza FWOO-tza) means “interwoven” or “inseparable” in Irish.

It literally means “woven and sewn” and illustrates the Celtic belief that everything in Creation is part of a united wholeness. A oneness of all things.

The Seen and Unseen, the Living and the Dead… all things are fite fuaite, created together in the beginning and can never be separated.

Wholeness is Beloved Presence

In the Cailleach Ken Library I share how I connect with and communicate with Ancestors and the Unseen so that you can build a relationship with your own.

Your Ancestors are eager to speak with you and hold a tremendous amount of transformational wisdom that they are eager to share.

Empathetic / Direct / Intuitive ways of knowing are a powerful path to Wisdom.

These ways of knowing are now opening for European immigrants on Turtle Island.

…with any questions, concerns or interesting, unexpected or inspiring stories that happen during your communication with Beloved Presence. I want to know!
