Welcome to The Magdalene Chapel
a space of devotion where you can be held, nourished and inspired by the flame of the Sacred Heart.
Join us in our fortnightly community gatherings where we sit in circle around the Triple Flame of Love. Here we slow down and reattune to our natural rhythm, guided by the beat of our hearts, nourishing the mind, body, heart and soul. From this whole, grounded and open-hearted space we are resourced to then offer healing and prayers to one and all, rippling the light of the flame of love far and wide.
This sanctuary space is born of a path I have been walking for many years, in deep devotion to Mary Magdalene and the Divine Mother. Magdalene, like many female luminaries and leaders, has been intentionally and repeatedly silenced and slandered. So many atrocities and incomprehensible crimes against women, children and families have been carried out in her name, especially here in Ireland.
“Peace be with you – may my peace arise and be fulfilled within you.”
Gospel of Mary
Yet, her essence, words and teachings can never be destroyed, for it is that of truth, power and love. In these times, we see a beautiful regeneration of connection and devotion to her. I believe that we are now being called to awaken and amplify the grace, wisdom, strength, courage and conviction that Mary so beautifully embodies, and that we all carry within.
May Magdalene’s flame, wisdom, light and wholehearted leadership be her legacy
rather the pain, suffering and desecration of the Divine Feminine and
holy family template inflicted in her name.
There is a sacred spark of life, a flame of love, that lives and breathes in the very heart and soul of every human. The frequency of the heart cannot be measured by the intellectual or rational mind for it is far greater than we can comprehend. The light of the heart shines radiantly and powerfully, like that of a lighthouse. In our darkest moments and most turbulent tides of life, the light of a heart, ours or another, is our anchor and our saviour. In a world that is ever growing and changing, seasons turn the yearly cycle, day fades to night and life begins and ends with a single breath, there is always one constant. The light of the heart that emanates from within.

“There were is the nous, lies the treasure” ~ Gospel of Mary
Mary was not simply a name, it was a title of a high initiate, high teacher, exalted one and one holding high social status – a leader. It is said that Brigid too is a title rather than a name, meaning exalted, highly ranked, holding position of a leader and to many she was known as Mary of the Gaels. Mary also means to love and beloved – for it is only through unconditional love that we can truly heal and grow, within and without.
The teachings of both Mary and Brigid predate dogma and doctrine and share the gifts of the sacred feminine arts of healing, wisdom, poetry, prophecy, alchemy and sacred union. HER teachings are as profound as they are simple, as much about the mundane as they are about the metaphysical. Above all else her teachings are about reclaiming and restoring our true authentic nature, to be ‘fully human’ once again. In these deeply transformational times, we need people who are living and leading from the authenticity and authority of their heart. We need people retrieving the treasures of their heart and sharing their unique gifts unapologetically.
Love yourself back to peace.
Love yourself back to communion with life itself.
Magdalene Chapel is a sanctuary and safe haven to remember and restore true peace within your mind, body, heart and soul. Here the feminine and masculine principle are united in holy communion, to rekindle harmony, truth and authenticity within your whole being once again. One of the first whispers from Magdalene I received was this – Call not on me to fix or heal or change you, I love you in your wholeness – you too must love yourself in your wholeness.
This is a space to love yourself back to wholeness.
“Gather at the hearth and by the heart and sing
this dream into creation.”
For thousands of years the sacred fire and flame have been tended to and revered on these lands of Eirú, a wise and ancient council member to commune with and call upon. The hearth is the heart of the home - the fire is the heart of the family and community. From ceremonies to celebrations and beginnings and endings, the fire always played an essential role.
Open your heart, a stór, keep it open.
Ireland’s ancient societal structures and leadership was rooted in reverence to the Mother, The Tuath De Dannan, The Tribe of Danú (Mother Goddess). Encoded in our land and ancient temples are the primordial mother codes of creation, regeneration and right relationship. In our most ancient ceremonies and rituals in Ireland, the central flame was lit at the heart of Ireland, then a wave of light would ripple around the country as others lit their fires in response.
It is time to be beacons and vessels of light once again.
The spirit and guidance of the fire is calling us to remember and reconnect around the fire. To sit, to sing, to share from the heart. To create new traditions at the hearth that connect us deeper with the hearts of others. To honour our cycles and journeys and share our medicine and magic in the light and dance of the flames. To rekindle and reignite our inner fire and flame so that we may illuminate and inspire others as we blaze our own trail of light.
A Rose Flame rests upon the altar in this Magdalene Chapel, The Triple Rose Flame of Eirú. To sit with the rose flame is a homecoming, a restoration of belonging, inviting you to ignite and radiate your inner fire and flame with the world. Come join us by the sacred rose flame and holy fire of love – come home to your hearth and heart once again.
The Triple Rose Flame of Eirú
“I am the light of the High Holy Heart
I am the flame of Sovereign Unity
I am the fire of Divine Love”
This flame is a spark of the Light of Sophia, that which holds the light architecture of genesis. It is returning to all hearts and beings at this time. The holy fire is known across all time and space. This sacred flame has many names, The Fire of Sophia, The Flame of Love, The Rose Flame, Brigid’s Flame, Holy Fire of Shekinah (and many more). Historically it was seen as the presence of the Divine, a symbol for purity, healing, transformation and eternal permanence. Yet it is older than the any language, creed or culture. It is the light of Divinity, the light of creation itself. The flame has been reignited within our hearts - now we must tend to it.
“Feel the fire, Be the Fire,
Heal, Create, Connect, Inspire”
-Mantra prayer received from Brigid
Sophia, Eirú, Danú, Bríd have tended this flame and spark of life for millennia – Magdalene followed them as a carrier and emanation of that prayer and song of creation. In our lineage as Irish people, it has been in Magdalene’s name that the most recent atrocities have been witnessed against the mother and child and sanctity of the family unit.
This triple rose flame calls us to unite as daughters and sons of Eirú, to ignite our inner flame, and cast our golden networks of light as one. That same light that called us to live our lives on this island, to be nourished and guided by her and to honour and remember the ancient coding here.
The most powerful places upon this earth have been the most decimated or hidden. This island is a living library of gnosis and ancient technology –just like your own body and cellular memory. The ancient future prayer and emanation of truth was never extinguished, just dormant. It was held in each and every heart, in the infinite knowing that when the time arrived to restore our true nature, those who chose to listen could hear the call from within, now is that time.
Listen to the truth of your heart
