Autumn Women’s Circle with the Morrighan
Feel her power stirring in your bones, in your blood - all of it welcome, all of it necessary
Women's Circle: Ancient feminine wisdom embodiment
Bone Deep Women's Circles is a series of seasonal gatherings where women embody ancient feminine wisdom through the Celtic wheel of the year. For each direction of the wheel, we’ll explore and embody the energy of a specific mythic figure - goddesses, legendary beings, and archetypal stories that hold keys to our authentic power.
This autumn, we journey with the Morrigan - the fierce Celtic goddess of sovereignty, transformation, and prophetic wisdom. Over six Wednesday evenings, we'll explore her many faces: the warrior, the shapeshifter, the mystic, and the sovereign queen.
“When women come to the circle for the first time, they can be anxious and unsure what to expect. Ruth has this lovely smile and a calming presence that helps those nerves melt away. Ruth’s authenticity helps everyone see that this isn’t just something she does; it’s a genuine calling to support women on their healing journeys. ”

The Morrighan is a powerful Celtic goddess of sovereignty, battle, prophecy, and transformation. Her name means "phantom queen" or "great queen," and she often appears as a crow or raven - messengers between worlds.
Why work with her energy now?
The Morrighan represents the fierce feminine wisdom that many women have been taught to hide. She embodies:
Sovereignty - claiming your rightful power and space
Prophecy - trusting your inner knowing and intuition
Transformation - embracing change and shadow work
Protection - fierce boundaries and self-advocacy
Her connection to autumn:
Autumn is the Morrighan's sacred time, when we enter the North of the Celtic wheel. This is the season for deeper work - facing what we've avoided, reclaiming what we've lost, and preparing for renewal. Just as trees shed their leaves, we're called to release what no longer serves.
The Morrighan doesn't offer gentle comfort - she offers the fierce love that demands we become who we're meant to be.
Why Women need ancient feminine wisdom now
Women everywhere are refusing to stay small, tired of dimming their light to make others comfortable. Yet many of us struggle with how to embody our full power without apology.
We've been taught to be "nice" and accommodating, giving away our energy without boundaries. We've been told our fierceness is "too much," our intuition "unreliable," our anger "unfeminine." Meanwhile, we're exhausted and craving authentic community with other women doing this deep work.
Ancient feminine wisdom was always shared in circle. We heal in relationship with other women who witness our truth. Some energies can only be accessed in sacred feminine community.
The Morrigan calls to us now because autumn marks our entry into the North of the Celtic wheel - the season of battles, transformation, and deep inner work. At Samhain, her sacred time, the veils between worlds grow thin and her fierce protective energy is at its strongest.
The North challenges us to confront our shadows and transform them into sources of strength. The Morrigan helps us integrate what we've been taught to reject - our fierceness, our untamed power. She teaches us the difference between healthy sovereignty and destructive anger.
The world needs our fierce feminine wisdom more than ever.

About Ruth, your Space Holder
I am a holsitic healer, Celtic wisdom keeper, and space holder who guides women back to their authentic power through ancient practices and embodiment. My approach is deeply informed by my own journey of healing from trauma, chronic pain, and ancestral wounds through connection to my Celtic heritage.
I weave together sound therapy, somatic practices, and seasonal wisdom to create sacred spaces where women can reconnect with their fierce, loving, authentic selves. My work honours both the light and shadow aspects of feminine power, creating permission for women to be fully themselves without apology.
