THE CELTIC CREATIVES
Open the portal to the Celtic Otherworld.
It already exists within you.
The Celtic Otherworld doesn’t ask you to leave your modern life. It asks you to look at life through the eyes of your soul, in your night dreams, mythology, and your body.
This is for you if you are ready to dissolve the voice of the overculture that tells you your night dreams are nonsense, mythology is just stories, and your body is a machine, not a living organism.
I want you to feel that you belong to something ancient and alive.
Because you do.
This is an invitation to allow your life to be guided by the Otherworld.
Meet Jen
I’m Jennifer Regina Murphy (Jen), creative artist, Celtic mythologist and anthropologist. A Dubliner born and bred, from the time I could talk my grandmother Frances filled my ears with fairy lore fuelling a now 40-year fascination with the stories of my lineage.
My life’s work is helping people remember that they belong to something ancient and alive, and to dream that belonging into their everyday lives through dreamwork, myth and the body.
Fáilte, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

THREE Cauldrons
My work emerges from three cauldrons inspired by a mystical Irish text dating from the 700s, the Cauldron of Poesy. These cauldrons are a living symbol guiding us to live our dán, our soul’s calling. The text tells us that this calling exists within everyone but ‘in every second one it does not shine forth.’ Will you allow yourself to shine forth?

Our ancestors were animistic, believing that all of life contained anam: soul. Each one of us—you, me, crow, oak—is made from the same mysterious force of creation. Through the Cauldron of Warming we ground our body into the Earth’s body, attuning to the pulse of the living Universe that is the source of everything we need to create the life of our soul’s desire.
-
Our ancestors believed we must follow our dán, our creative fire and soul’s destiny bestowed upon us by the Universe and offered back to the Universe by living it fully. As Carl Jung stressed, the most important question we can ask ourselves is, ‘What myth am I living?’ Mythwork helps us discover the why of our own story and move through the great joys and sorrows of life that bubble in the Cauldron of Motion.

Our ancestors created in the dark. Attuning our energies to sunset, dusk, twilight and night not only brings us closer to them, but it also helps us cultivate lunar consciousness. The moon invites us to relate to our own becoming, moving through cycles of birth, becoming, death and resurrection.
Dreams are our doorways into this hidden realm of becoming. Our ancestors practised dream incubation as a way to receive imbas forosnai, ‘knowledge that illumines’. It is from the darkness of the Cauldron of Wisdom that the flame of imbas ignites.
