Crones, Hags & Elder Wise Women of Power Summit 2026
Jude Lally
Keening. An ancient Practice for Modern Mourning
Jude Lally is a cultural activist reclaiming keening as a living practice rooted in creativity, ritual and communal grief.
Her work is a radical invitation to inhabit the landscape of grief, using the steps of the keening woman’s ritual to give voice to grief and to shape its transformation.
As an artist and writer, she works with grief through doll making, painting and weaving and is currently writing her first book, The Ancestral Mothers of Scotland.
She lives near Loch Lomond on Scotland’s west coast and holds an MSc in Human Ecology from the University of Strathclyde.
Free Gift:
An Introduction to the Ancestral Mothers of Scotland.
The collective stories of Scotland’s Ancestral Mothers are not remnants of a long-lost lineage; they have developed out of my relationship with place, the land under my feet. As with anything meaningful and enduring, my connection with these figures has developed and deepened over time.
This mini course covers three stories from the Ancestral Mothers.
Item to Purchase:
Reclaiming Keening: Creating a Grief Practice Rooted in an Indigenous Spiritual Bedrock.
Reclaiming Keening is an online learning community offering a course exploring the roots of keening while engaging with the framework of themes which shape its transformational power. From liminal space and the ‘divine madness’ of the keening woman to poetry and lament, as well as grief as a form of activism. It also offers tangible projects from doll making to how to hold keening circles, alongside monthly online gatherings.
