Village of Coillemaorga
Coillemaorga (KWEH-leh WEER-a-gah) is the village where the Irish coven Maorga Loinnir (WEER-a-gah len-yin) have lived since the time of the Druids.
The River Loinnir runs parallel to the village and is an aquatic ley line that leads from the Atlantic Ocean, through Dingle Bay, to the coven’s sacred pool in a nearby forest meadow.
At its height, the village and the surrounding area was home to two thousand Maorga Loinnir witches who were known up and down Ireland’s west coast as powerful healers.
Over the centuries, as church missionaries descended on Ireland like a plague, and technology reduced people’s need for healers, some coven members turned their backs on the old ways and sought jobs in Ireland’s cities or on the continent.
