St. Patrick: What’s the Real Story? → https://irishpaganschool.com/p/st-patrick ☘️
You’ve heard the tales - Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, the snakes were actually Druids, he wiped out the Druids, and converted the whole island to Christianity. But what if we told you none of that is true?
In this episode, Lora O’Brien from the Irish Pagan School sorts fact from fiction, debunking the biggest myths about Saint Patrick:
🔥 Did Patrick actually banish snakes from Ireland? (Spoiler: There were never any snakes to begin with!)
🐍 Were the ‘snakes’ really a metaphor for the Druids?
📜 Did Patrick destroy Irish Paganism and force mass conversions?
Join us as we uncover the real history behind Patrick’s legend and why it’s time to take back the narrative, as Contemporary Pagans.
