Emma Borjigid is an anthropologist and historian with double citizenship, Irish and British, who has renounced Italian citizenship and does not have any nationalistic identification, for she rejects the very concept of «nation». Founder of Inis Fail in Northern Sweden, in 2024, the first school of pre-Christian matriarchal Druidism. Advocate of the erased history of women, in 2012 she obtained a Master of History at the University of York, Pagan Traces, on the continuity of pre-christian Goddess related symbols and lore in British and West European witch-related stories from trial accounts and demonology books and pamphlets. Pagan Traces analysed the journey of the symbols inherent to the double Goddess worship from the prehistoric Far East to medieval and early modern Britain and Western Europe, as survived in medieval and early modern folklore and all beliefs inherent to Witches and Faeries during as well as prior demonisation. In 2022 she obtained an Anthropology PhD from Xiamen University, Fujan, China: Residual matriarchal female shamanic and oracular practices in Yunnan and Sichuan. Emma has lived for almost half her life in contact with indigenous societies in Asia, and Oceania travelling also to South and Central America to meet native communities. During a part of her childhood and adult life in Northeastern italy she has lived in contact with a residual pre-christian community of cultural/ethnic identification as “Celtic”, which she has documented in both her doctoral thesis, the present one and the one in Asian Studies yet to be defended at the University of Hamburg in the near future.
