Explore how the figure of the Hag – a powerful, older goddess from Irish folklore – is being re‑interpreted in contemporary film, literature and cultural discussion. Dr Tracy Fahey, an Irish author and academic specialising in folk horror and the Gothic, will trace the Hag’s origins and examine her relevance to themes of ageing, femininity and resistance. The talk will draw on traditional tales as well as recent movies and books, offering a fresh perspective on a once‑feared symbol now reclaimed as a source of wisdom.
