Goddess Tour Guide: Hannah Chew

Hannah Chew is our tour guide for the Celtic Goddess Tour of Ireland.  She brings a deep love and knowledge of Celtic traditions, the Goddesses of Ireland, and the Divine Feminine in all her forms.

Hannah was born in Ireland, in the ancient town of Clones in Co. Monaghan.   For almost thirty years she had a very successful nursing career specializing in Accident and Emergency in Dublin, London and the Middle East, as a registered nurse and registered sick children’s nurse. 

Married with three children and two delightful grandchildren. (Husband and children are also delightful of course!) She met her husband in the Middle East where they were both working and living in the ex-patriot community and spent twenty very happy years. 

Returning to Ireland seventeen years ago, Hannah became interested in Alternative and Complementary Medicine.  It was while studying Homoeopathy that the words of Samuel Hahnemann (Aphorism 9 in his Organon) ignited the spark that gave her a deeper need to understand spirit and led her to explore a whole new philosophy of life.

In her quest for greater understanding, she studied many of the complementary and alternative therapies, walked the pilgrim journey of the Camino De Santiago, from Saint Jean Pied Du Port in France all the way across Spain to Santiago de Compostella.   She has been on many sacred journeys to different parts of the world including England, Scotland, France, Israel, China, Egypt and Peru, seeking to understand their ancient sacred heritage and their connection with God.

In this time she also came to know Ireland as if for the first time as she explored the land and realised that although I was familiar with many of it’s own sacred sites she had not fully acknowledged the beauty of her own Celtic Spirituality which she came to realise resonated greatly with her and also with many other ancient traditions of the world.

Hannah recently graduated from Trinity College of Dublin with a First Class Honours Degree in Theology, Biblical Studies and Hebrew. For several years she has facilitated Meditation groups, has introduced many people to the folklore and sacred sites of Ireland and facilitated the celebration of Celtic festivals according to the Celtic Calendar and Wheel of Life.
