I enjoyed a wonderful evening out at The Model Theatre, Sligo, yesterday to see the premiere of ‘The Dream of Fódhla’ a film born under the inspiration of the remarkable poet Stephen Murphy.
Apologies for not getting a reminder to you sooner. I did not know until last minute if I would be able to drive. But I was actually on top form for that evening and all was wonderful
No worries John. It wasn't your job to keep me informed! But if anything like that comes up again you can drove to my house in Carrick and I can drive the rest of the way.
Sounds like quite a remarkable evening, John... how lucky you are to have been invited! I will certainly look forward to seeing this film when it is released online... any idea how we can access it?
I have avoided Graves book, although I really feel I should read it for myself. I think it may make me feel angry, though, and I don't want that.
It's great to hear that you are feeling so good... long may it last! All the best to you! 💕
I suspect the film will be on Vimeo or YouTube sometime during March. I will post a Substack feature with links when it does.
I’m biased about Graves due to what I was brought up with. But in some ways I have presented Ogham through a template perhaps not that far distant from his. What I hope I have avoided is the extent of his origin theories. Through Ogham Prompts I aim to encourage people to become familiar with each wood in our lives such as uses, food and medicine, and then consider the Prompt values to stir our imaginations and visions much more than a straight text may. That’s quite challenging upon us now, probably.
There are several approaches to interpretation of Ogham so it’s a lot of unravelling into what we may individually feel comfortable with. With the Graves approach, and its beauty of order, I think we may risk missing out a lot of it’s intimate interpretation.
Keep us posted on the online release and thanks for the share! John Moriarty has been on my mind of late.
Wonderful. Looking forward to online release details myself, and sharing them.

Thank you for that essential link :-)
Lovely account John. I'm so sorry I missed this- I completely forgot about it. Will definitely be watching online. 😍

Thank you for the very thorough link. I was going to slip in the YouTube but was too poorly to edit. This is better

Incredible.
Will have to admit ignorance in regards to Ogham .
