Dia Duit agus fáilte mo charas Hello and welcome beautiful Witches Souls me ol Flowers 🌹 ***A gentle disclaimer***this episode touches on religious experiences and may bring up things for those with religious trauma. Please take your time with it and only receive what feels safe for you 🖤 In this Temple Library entry, I’m speaking on the Magdalene Laundries, the institutions that operated across Ireland for generations under the control of religious orders. Looking at what these laundries were, who was sent there, and the hidden truths that later came to light, this entry explores another difficult and painful chapter of Irish history. This is not an attempt to cover every detail, but to lift the rug and witness what was there ,holding space for the women and girls whose voices were silenced for so long. At the end of this entry, I close with drumming and remembrance for the victims and survivors. You’re welcome to meet this in your own time.
