Enter into the Celtic Otherworld

Of mythwork, bodywork and dreamwork without having to leave your modern life.

Delivered to you from Ireland by Jennifer Murphy, Visionary Artist, Celtic Mythologist, Somatic Teacher, and mystic traveller in Jungian Psychology.

Imagine a life where you feel rooted in your ancient past. Where you co-dream your future with the archetypal guides of your lineage. Where you cultivate sacred presence through daily ritual. Where you finally admit to yourself that you have a dán, a soul’s destiny.

Well here you are. This is it. I am so glad that you have arrived.

Choose Your Oracle ☆

Let your intuition choose. Pick an oracle card and see where in my work it takes you.

BÓINN

Bóinn, the ‘White Cow’, river goddess of earth and stars. She liberates imbas, allowing divine wisdom to flow.

ÉTAÍN

Étaín, goddess of sovereignty, cast into a purple fly by the rowan wand of a druidess. She must travel through time to remember who she is.

DAGDA

The Dagda’s ‘Cauldron of Plenty’ never runs dry. He gifts us the eternal nourishment of the ancestral Otherworld.

THREE Cauldrons

My work emerges from three cauldrons inspired by a mystical Irish text dating from the 700s, the Cauldron of Poesy, which identifies three cauldrons that guide us to live into our soul’s calling. It says that this calling exists within everyone but ‘in every second one it does not shine forth.’ Not everyone will answer. Will you?

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 desires.
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 Vocation.
Just as the moon mirrors the light of the sun, the unconscious reflects the hidden aspects of ourselves that long to be seen and integrated. Dreams are our doorways into this hidden realm. It is from this place that archetypal images emerge—goddess, witch, magician—to be worked with in responsible, grounded, and human ways to guide our lives. It is from the darkness of the Cauldron of Wisdom that the flame of imbas—of wisdom that illuminates—can and will ignite.
