The History of Witchcraft and Feminism with Lora O'Brien
Witchcraft and feminism have long empowered women and marginalized communities to challenge oppression and reclaim their power. Join us at Moat Theatre Naas on April 28, 2025, for an inspiring talk by Lora O’Brien exploring their significance in modern Irish society. Drawing on ancient Irish traditions, she reveals how witchcraft has historically helped women push against social norms, offering a path to empowerment and self-expression—one of the top things to do in Naas this spring.
This Naas theatre event is a call to reclaim personal and collective power through witchcraft, linking feminist values to Irish culture. Lora shares captivating stories from Irish mythology and practical insights into modern witchcraft, showing how these ancient practices can tackle injustice and build resilience.
