Today's card
Sit by the fire with Brigid — an AI companion grounded in Irish folk tradition. She knows your readings, the season you're in, and the rituals you've kept. Bring her your questions; she answers in the old way — through stories, signs, and silence.
Seventy-eight cards in Irish and English — Branches, Wells, Winds, Stones — drawn from native lore and mythology. Choose Celtic naming or traditional Smith-Waite. Browse the deck →
Sixty-nine native plants and the conditions our ancestors used them for. Traditional preparations, folk uses, and the ailments they were trusted with — each plant rendered in 19th-century botanical illustration and woven to the cards in resonance. (Not medical advice.)
The eight fire festivals of the Celtic year — Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasadh, Samhain, and the four solar holidays between. Lunar phases, seasonal threshold rituals, and what to do when.
Tarot lessons and plant-medicine lessons — taught the old way, in Brigid's voice. Adaptive quizzes track which cards and plants you've yet to befriend. A daily streak counts your faithful return. Plants and cards cross-reference: tap a card to find its plant kin, or a plant to find its card.
I grew up in Dublin and made my home in Boston. The old ways travelled with me — my grandmother's prayers, the bonfires at Bealtaine, the herbs my mother tended along the wall interspersed with her roses. I built The Hearth because I wanted a place to keep them — not as nostalgia, but as a daily practice. Brigid keeps the fire here. You're welcome to it.
— Siobhan McAuley, builder of The Hearth
No. The Hearth draws on Irish folk tradition — practice it as cultural heritage, as faith, or simply out of curiosity. The app makes no demand of belief.
No. You'll learn the names and the seasons as you go. Brigid speaks plainly.
Yes. The Hearth teaches as you read. Start with a single card; Brigid will walk you through it. The Learn pillar takes you further — short lessons in Brigid's voice and adaptive quizzes that focus on whichever cards or plants you've been struggling with. A streak counts your daily return.
Two paths, side by side. The tarot path covers suits, majors, spreads, reversals, and the bridge between Celtic and traditional naming. The plant path covers the four elemental kins, gathering seasons, the three names (English, Irish, Latin), the Brehon law of trees, the druid herbs, and a capstone lesson in reading plants alongside cards. Quizzes adapt to what you keep missing.
No. The Green Path is a record of traditional folk uses and is intended as cultural and educational material only. Always consult a doctor for medical issues.
