ABOUT THE MORRIGAN INSTITUTE

The Morrigan Institute is dedicated to fighting the forces of right wing, fascist bigotry. We believe in the Old Irish concepts of Hospitality, Loyalty and Duty. We embrace the progress Ireland has made in recent years towards multi-cultural, liberal, justice.

 Welcome to the Morrigan Institute. Founded in 2015, The Institute was inspired by the sudden arrival in Irish social discourse of a group of completely un-elected, uninformed, far right pundits intent on pursuing an agenda of conservatism and bigotry. We thought, if they can get a voice spouting their half truths, without getting a punch in the face, why can't we? We have a LOT of opinions and some of them are even based on facts and evidence which puts us ahead of the competition from the start.

 And lo! Shortly thereafter this conversation, a large crow poohed on our head and we knew, SHE is on board with it. So we dedicated our efforts to The Dark Winged One and girded our loins to fight the good fight.

Tales from the Home school....#covid19 #homeschool #lockdownireland #lockdown #pagan

It's not homeschooling, she says with a very snooty toss of her head. There is a woman being interviewed on TV; she has home-schooled her children since they could walk. She was unpopular for doing so, she has suffered for her principles. She felt no one understood her children or could meet their needs, the way she could. She is unpopular even among other, less evangelical home-schoolers, who hate the way she makes them look. We're not all cranks, they mutter silently. But she is the one the TV stations like to interview. It's NOT home school. It is distance learning. It's a very different thing. Apparently. I don't give a fuck, missus. I'm calling it home school because distance learning is too much effort. There. Go suck on that for a while. Being housebound, being forced out of work and into a living room masquerading as a classroom, has soured me. I admit it. I'm a wee bit bitter. And I might be doing the pedantic spokeswoman for all thin...

Self Isolation and how to use this time to explore some magical ways (if you want)

Image
Disclaimer You can spend the next three weeks in isolation alone or with your family, sitting on your arse and watching tv . THIS IS A PERFECTLY VALID CHOICE. Don't let anyone shame you into trying to be "Productive" - it's a myth and a burden. If you get through this doing basic normal things and don't come out the other end speaking a new language or playing concert piano, so what? (anyway uke is more fun than piano)   The important thing is to come out the other side, as sane as possible . The pressure to suddenly revel in deep spiritual insights in isolation, cherish this time, become a better person - all bollix. This post is only for you if you want to try something new, or renew your interests. Otherwise, scroll on by with my absolute blessing. SO, assuming you're now bored out of your gourd and thinking, what the fuck have I done with my life up til now? (No? Just me then? )here are a few magical chores you should fill your time with. SPR...

Simple Tips from the Dark Winged One on surviving C-19 and other Winter Emergencies!

Image
Never mind Corona Virus ....I've said it every year, everyone needs a winter cupboard - in case of storms, snow, and ESB strikes, never mind C-19. There are simple, inexpensive ways of preparing yourself for periods of being stuck inside. A "Winter Cupboard" is really something every home should have, whether it's just you or you plus all your immediate family, dogs, cats and next door's Granny. There are events that can happen every year, from power-cuts, to unusual snow falls - and you should start being ready for them. I say this as someone who has to budget for each weekly shop and add an item in every week, so this is an exercise in cost effective preparation. Also, check on others - check your elderly neighbours, ring your isolated friends, offer to share if they need something and you can manage. We will all get through, if only we remember that we are in this together. Pay especial care to those who are not native to Ireland, who may not have...
