Lora O’Brien’s 2025 Speaking Events in Ireland – The History of Witchcraft & Feminism

Irish history is full of powerful women – healers, poets, rebels, and witches – who challenged authority and shaped the world around them. But how much of what we know about witchcraft and feminism in Ireland is fact, and how much is myth?

Lora O’Brien’s talk, The History of Witchcraft & Feminism: Reclaiming Power in a Modern World, explores the relationship between witchcraft, sovereignty, and women’s resistance throughout Irish history.

Hosted by Seed Talks, these events dive into historical case studies, Irish magical traditions, and the ways in which witchcraft continues to offer empowerment today.

Lora will be speaking in multiple venues across Ireland in the first half of 2025, as well as at an online broadcast from Waterford – and a global witchcraft summit.

Seed Talks Online Conference – The Witchcraft Summit 2025

For those unable to attend in person, Lora O’Brien will also be speaking at the Witchcraft Summit, a global online event exploring magic, history, and empowerment.

This is a one-day series of online talks and workshops from leading experts.

About this Seed Talks event

Explore the historical and cultural evolution of witchcraft through a feminist lens at this new online summit. From medieval witch hunts to modern-day spiritual practices, uncover how witchcraft has been shaped by gender, power, and activism throughout history.

The image of the witch has long been used to control, demonise, and punish those who challenge societal norms. Yet, witchcraft has also been reclaimed as a symbol of resistance, empowerment, and feminist activism. This summit will trace the shifting perceptions of witches, exploring their role in history, politics, and contemporary spirituality.

Join a supportive and inclusive community where you’ll gain fresh perspectives from leading historians, researchers, and practitioners. Learn how the historical narratives of witchcraft continue to influence modern feminism, social activism, and the resurgence of spiritual witchcraft today.
