Send us a text✨ FREE LEARNING RESOURCES FOR A YEAR! - https://irishpagan.school/freeIs the Dearg Dú Ireland’s very own vampire legend? In this video, Jon O'Sullivan from the Irish Pagan School explores the terrifying folklore surrounding the Dearg Dú, a revenant said to rise from the grave to seek revenge and drain the life force of her victims. Originating in County Waterford, this undead woman’s tragic backstory of love, betrayal, and vengeance makes her one of the most horrifying figures in Irish mythology. Learn the lore behind the Dearg Dú, her connections to other supernatural beings like the leannán sí and the Scottish Baobhan Sith, and how modern vampire myths like Dracula may share roots with these ancient Irish stories.✨ Irish Pagan Resources Checklist available NOW - https://irishpagan.school/checklist/👀 🟠 Patrons get to ask their own questions for these videos, and get the answers about a month before anyone else! 😉 Join us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/irishpaganschool/membership ✨ FREE Online Classes - https://irishpaganschool.com/courses/category/free✨ 5 Day Morrigan Challenge - https://www.morrigan.academy/challengeAt the Irish Pagan School we offer Online Classes on Irish Paganism, Mythology, History, Heritage, Culture, Magic and Spirituality, taught by native Irish Educators, based in County Waterford, Ireland.💥 JOIN THE MAILING LIST HERE -- https://irishpaganschool.ck.page/yt💥 Support this work on Patreon - http://www.Patreon.com/IrishPaganSchoolHave a question about Irish or Celtic Paganism?Please Search Our Resources!✨ The Irish Pagan School Blog - https://irishpagan.school/✨ The Irish Pagan School YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@IrishPaganSchool✨ The Irish Pagan School Podcast - https://irishpaganschoolpodcast.buzzsprout.com/✨ The Ogham Academy - https://ogham.academy✨ The Morrigan Academy - https://morrigan.academy Enroll in our online learning environment at the Irish Pagan School for full info on classes, courses and longer programmes - at https://IrishPaganSchool.comCynth A.
