Edna O’Brien, born in 1930 in Tuamgraney, County Clare, is one of Ireland’s most formidable literary voices — a woman who transformed the landscape of Irish fiction by daring to tell the truth about women’s lives in a country where silence was sacrosanct.
Regina, I love the clarity and power in your writing and how you showcase and illuminate these female giants in their own right and then further deepen and support them through the lens of the tarot. It’s both tender and empowering. I felt emotional reading about Edna and am marvelling at her “resilience,” and how she remained deeply connected to Ireland despite her exile. It feels to me that she served a deeper, higher and bigger sacrificial purpose in writing what needed to be seen into truth on behalf of the country, that exiled her ! You shared that “she found freedom in exile,” which really struck me as a truly empowering polarity ♾️ She is truly remarkable and a lighthouse for these times too. Her photo also emanates her audacious beauty. You’ve captured her so beautifully. Well done, Regina, Edna and the Tarot 🙌🙏❤️🔥
