Author Description

Step into a land where doors were never closed to the dead, coins were exchanged to save friendships, and unseen eyes watched from the shadows of every hawthorn tree. In Superstitions of Ireland, author Aisling Morrìgan uncovers the forgotten lore, chilling beliefs, and mysterious rituals that shaped Irish life for centuries - and in many places, still do. This richly researched and deeply evocative journey through thirty-three superstitions reveals a culture where luck, death, protection, and the Otherworld were never far from everyday thought. From banshees and fairy forts to itchy palms and funeral rain, every chapter explores the truth behind the tale - blending historical accuracy, mythological insight, and folk wisdom passed through generations. Whether you're drawn to dark folklore, ancestral memory, or the unseen forces that shape tradition, this book will leave you questioning how much we've really let go... and how much still lingers in the cracks of the modern world. Believe it or not, the spirits are still listening.
