Eimear Burke

Welcome to my website.

My name is Eimear Burke.  My home is Three Castles, near Kilkenny in Ireland.  It is in a rural area and includes a ruined tower, which these days functions as a temple and ritual space.  

I am a member of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, as was my late husband, Howard Campbell.  Together we founded the Kilkenny Druid Grove, and  connected with others to build a community which meets at Three Castles eight times a year, to celebrate the major Druidic festivals.

I work as a psychologist, and my interests in Druidry and psychology have led me to act as a Celebrant, helping people to design and enact meaningful rites of passage.  I am licensed to perform legal weddings in the Republic of Ireland, and can also offer non legal ceremonies.  

I have a deep love of the ancient Irish tales.  I therefore have a passion for storytelling.  I bring the old tales to new audiences, and - while remaining faithful to the stories - often examine them from new perspectives, so that listeners experience them as fresh and relevant.  I particularly enjoy showing people the sacred sites of Ireland, and telling the ancient tales right where they happened.

My website will always be a work in progress, and will include regular updates about Druidry, about the Irish stories, the Irish language and the activities of the Kilkenny Grove.  It also contains a memorial to my late husband, Howard, who passed in April 2015, leaving wonderful memories and a beautiful legacy in the form of his poetry.

Please feel free to explore this website, and to visit often as it grows.  I would value your opinion and suggestions for new content.  There is a Contact Us page, which you can find in the navigation menu at the top of the screen.  The Kilkenny grove also has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AnCraobhAirgid/ 

​I would be glad to hear your comments.
