• HOORAY! Here is my brand new ebook of "Novemberish" stories, poems, and seasonal delights, including Irish folklore, a taste of etymology, a recipe for a truly wonderful cake, a good riddle, and a cast of characters that includes giants, hags, ghosts, foxes, owls, magical musicians, mermaids, a mysterious baker, and many more. The accompanying audiobook, which includes everything in the ebook, opens the door for you to three hours of warm, intimate, company-keeping with me.  It sounds like a dream because it was professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered by the amazing Lauren Passarelli. If you've ever wanted my voice in your ear, well, here it is - and you know that I LOVE to do all the voices and savor every inflection. Your purchase receipt includes three download links - the ebook itself, and the two parts of the audiobook. Please note that this is a virtual offering (rather than a physical CD or printed book). The contents of this book are in many ways the contents of my heart. I am so grateful to you for your interest in "meeting" it and me in the bleak and beautiful world of November.

    In Brigit’s Woven World and other poems of Ireland, the reader is introduced to saints, spirits, wise women, hags, enchanting places, and the Irish language itself. As a scholar and as a poet, I have long been inspired and fascinated by the Irish imagination and its many reflections in folklore, mythology, music, and storytelling. These poems flow out of my own lived experience of that deep and shining well.

  • Grow wiser, braver. and more useful this winter in this Celtic Wisdom School course - mentored by the world-building Cailleach and the world-healing Bean Feasa!

    Join us to learn about the Cailleach, the hag of Irish tradition, and her human counterpart, the Bean Feasa or wise woman, whose insight and compassion save the day in many Irish tales. With their excellent example, we'll endeavor to become wiser, more discerning, clearer, more creative, and more deeply useful to our friends, families, and communities. We will conspire with the Cailleach in her world-building and world-tending, and as a group we'll become a conspiracy of Cailleachs as we embody her fierce vitality on our way to becoming as wise and useful as the Bean Feasa. Our time together combines video lessons and storytelling, materials drawn and translated from Irish folklore and mythology, and a weekly 90-minute gathering where the real fun, learning, and transformation happen. In addition, you'll be invited into a one-on-one correspondence with Kate centered around each week's powerful question. At the end of the course, you'll receive a pdf booklet of all of the course materials to keep. 9 January - 26 February 2023 Find out more about the course below.
