Charges for "Spiritual Healing", psychic readings, and workshops to train others to become "Spiritual Healers" in Ireland. Lures vulnerable people via "psychic" readings of lost ones, preys upon females primarily who've lost children or have been abused.
Of particular concern is the fear that victims have of retaliation, which indicates Cult leader, and possible history of sexual and financial abuse of women.
This bullying tactic is encouraged by him and his followers in community (real life) and online.
(further making difficult for victims to come forward, and fearful)

The later is where he utilizes social media to further build an online presence of Cult Leader, Man who talks to God or highest source of spirit.
Any member who questions outside Brendan's work, is immediately bullied by him and his followers, with pseudo-new age babble, blaming their ego, (never his own) Labels such and other derogatory comments - this behavior by him and followers are carried into other groups by him, his followers and even on personal FB "wall pages".
There are no boundaries for his behavior, a man who claims to be a "spiritual" person and he will stop at nothing to continue his efforts as cult leader
-
Typical reply if people question any of his work or writings, he will use cult leader tactic responses, cleverly worded and claim of him channeling:
(this is "Channeled" by Brendan O'Callaghan after questioned on public FB forum)
Brendan O'Callaghan
Hi Angel, I feel we need to see what this person is trying to tell us. They can only hurt us if we allow them to, and we should never allow them to hurt us more than once. We cannot help them by staying around them. Spirit see intolerance as being a virtue. A person who continuously hurts us is telling us that we shouldn't be with them. If we tell them this, very often they will tell us to go if that's what we feel, so we should remove ourselves. This will allow them to see what they have caused and maybe lead them to seeking help for their behaviour. Like many behavioural patterns the person behaving badly doesn't acknowledge that they are behaving wrongly towards us until we begin to do what their actions are telling us, in this example to move out. We need to be honest with how we feel and stop being foolish and fearful. It is never in our plan to be a victim.

From Spirit.
The line between the good and bad aspects of the human is finer than the finest hair. Watch the human struggle to decide which side they wish to be on. See them test the apparent advantages available to them in their quest, for very often, mis-perceived fulfillment. On the negative side of this fine line they express themselves as controllers of their fellow humans thus avoiding the opportunity to discover the folly of their ways by the reflection of opposition to their actions. They bully their way along the road of development, continuously controlling life and directing it to what they think is the correct goal. These people cannot be Divinely guided as their excursion into the greyness of negativity puts them beyond the reach of true love and also leaves them vulnerable to greater negative influence, endorsing their misinterpretation of the correctness of their incorrect actions.

Regarding his channeled "Native American" and PIPE CARRIER working with Lakota Alcoholics
(in IRELAND)[/size][/b][/color]
(Screen capture of statement attached below)
Brendan O'Callaghan:there is a process using a polished shield that is placed between the abusive substance and the abused (addict). The idea is to reflect the energy back to where it comes from. This method was explained to me by a Pipe Carrier who is working with Lakota alcoholics and is intent on reviving Native American culture in order to counter all influences that are being brought to bear on the people. The shield would be a mirror that is held, reflective side out, in front of the solar plexus. You ask about the channel, in one of the "Spirit-Teachings from The Highest Source" books the channel introduces itself. I will look and see if I can find it for you. The channel also explains its composition and is Spirit not soul.

CHANNELED Native American:
Brendan O'Callaghan
Healing Addictions.
There is an interesting hypothesis regarding the spirituality of everything. Everything that is created is possessed with the mark of its creator. The quality of the creator is infused in us for example. We are told that we are made in Gods image, the mark of our creator. If you prepare for someone with love in your heart that love will be reflected on you when you meet them. If you prepare in a condition of hate then it is as a hateful person that you will be seen by them. All creation has the Creator in it, even down to a stone on a beach, as it was part of creation it is also part of the creator. It has Spirit as the Creator is Spirit.
We, as part of that creation have a certain power of our own. Everybody has equal power as we all have come to this earth for a purpose and therefore must have the power to achieve it. Everything in creation has a role to play in it. Therefore it has a power that is of its own nature. To take that power unto yourself would give you an advantage over others who have been content to accept that their own power is sufficient for their purpose. There are those who do just that taking of power. Take the smoker for instance. In general the originally began smoking so that they would feel more grown up. They prematurely sought the power of adulthood. Their vulnerability left them open to power possessed by the tobacco and they became the victim of that power. The outcome of their actions had the opposite effect, their physical progress was stunted and their capacity to withstand the effect of daily living diminished. They became obsessed by the spirit of the tobacco. To qualify this statement let us look to the origins of the smoking habit that is now so prevalent in our society. Sir Walter Raleigh is reputed to have brought tobacco back from America. He is said to have observed the natives of that country smoking these leaves. What he didn't realise was the significance of what he saw taking place. The Indians knew how powerful the spirit of the weed was and sought the power of that spirit to carry their prayers up to the Great Spirit. To the Indian the tobacco plant, along with all other plants has an important place in creation and thus had the respect for the spirit the tobacco contained. Indians do not get addicted to tobacco.
Alcoholic beverages are not really manufactured for their taste. They are manufactured for their ability to release the drinker from their present state into another condition. There are many degrees of intoxication. The essence of the manufacture is therefore determined by the requirements of the imbiber, to get variously drunk. That is the real spirit of alcohol. The American cannot handle this spirit, it is too powerful for them as is the spirit of tobacco too powerful for us.
[This therefore is the basis for addictions, the ingestion of spirits that are too powerful for us. Very often when a person ventures on their spiritual path these addictions diminish as the spiritual power of the pilgrim increase. Agencies acting against addiction often invoke the power of Spirit to help the addict recover. If we can understand the nature of the addictive substance then we can strengthen ourselves against it. Put it in its place, regain your own power and all will become right again. There are many powerful agencies in the area of hard drugs. In their place these can be useful for mankind when used correctly and contained in the right quantities. It is only when we fail to understand their nature or overindulge that they become our master.
Do not underestimate the innocence of any part of nature. Remember all of nature has a function, a part to play Make sure you know this.
If you come to work with the healing of addictions you will find what I have said useful. The only healing for addictions must come from within the addict themselves in that they must regain their own power and understand the imbalance that they had created in attempting to have more power than they actually needed for this life. They had miscalculated the perfection of their own creator who knew the correct degree of power that was needed for their evolvement through this life.

when questioned if this was "Channelled" Brendan O'Callaghan reply: (see screen capture evidence, written by Brendan, note the excusing responsibility of such writing to "Spirit" or others)
Brendan O'Callaghan:This writing is mostly channeled. It was[u] edited by someone who was not too concerned about spirituality[/u] and tried to change the context in many cases. They had some 'fun' with Spirit not allowing some of the changes and reverting the script back to the original text when the editor wasn't around. The editor said they would never edit a channeled book again! The American reference refers to the Native American and there is a similarity with the Travelling community in Ireland who also have a low tolerance to the influence of alcohol[/i]

Brendan O’Callaghan
I got involved in the area of spiritual development by a strange set of circumstances. I was living my life in a very ordinary way. I was born in Ireland, raised in Ireland, left Ireland to work in England, got married, came back to Ireland, got divorced, nearly had a nervous breakdown, and thought a good spirit was Gordon’s Gin. I used to drink it by the pint so as to avoid getting into rounds of drink. Three pints was enough any evening. As I said I was living a very ordinary life.
One morning in my office I was sitting at my desk reading the paper. The phone rang. I answered it and it was a call for a colleague who had not yet arrived to work. I took a message and wrote down the callers name and number on a piece of paper. I returned to reading the paper.
I became aware that though my right was perfectly relaxed, I was still holding the pen and the pen was making marks on the paper that I had taken down the name and number on. I couldn’t see how the pen hadn’t fallen from my grip as my hand appeared so relaxed. My hand wasn’t exerting any pressure on the pen yet it was making a squiggle on the paper. I made sure my whole arm was relaxed and yet the movement
continued.
My curiosity increased. I wondered what was going on. My intuition began to work. I thought that maybe it was a spirit trying to communicate. Don’t ask me where I got that idea from. So I invited the Spirit to try using my hand. More squiggles happened. Then my intuition suggested that this Spirit might never have used a pen or might not have written for some time. Maybe it hadn’t used an arm before.
So I decided to write the alphabet out in long hand to see what would happen and straight away the pen moved to the side of the page and wrote “Webbcallmewithwellwishes (Webb/call/me/with/well/wishes)” this writing was continuous and the Ts weren’t crossed nor the Is dotted.
The pen never left the paper. I mentally raised the question, “Who are you”, to which I got the reply “Iamaspirit (I/am/a/spirit). My next question was for some reason, “What were you when you were last here” and the reply came back fast, “iwasasoldier (I/was/a/soldier). “In whose army” I asked and the reply was slow this time. The pen went to the bottom left hand corner of the page and in very small writing the word “Cromwell” appeared.
So this was my introduction to Spirit communication. Of course I couldn’t wait to get down to the pub and show the lads what had happened. At first they tested the communication by getting Webb to answer questions that they had in mind. And he did. I didn’t have my customary three pints of Gin and Tonic that night nor any night since.
The next day I set about trying to find Webb’s grave. He had told me that when he realised a bloody a war Cromwell was conducting he decided to leave the army. He had been conscripted anyway. He felt he couldn’t go home to England and was afraid to stay in Ireland in case either side caught him so for safety sake he joined the Sarsfield contingent.
He claims that he was trying to teach the Irish the way Cromwell fought and was an advocate for bloodless warfare such as spiking the guns in Limerick. He gave me dates to check out his story and it is interesting, and another story how that worked out. I got a friend to drive me around. I had a note pad on my lap writing Webb’s instructions. Turn left, turn right and so on until he would write stop.
The writing was totally automatic, requiring neither thought on my part nor any control of my hand except by Webb. We came across many graveyards all very old. Some you could not see because they were so overgrown and uncared for. Many had graves dating to Webb’s time but here was no sign of Webb’s.
Eventually I found myself in a church ground but there were no graves to be seen. Suddenly a very heavy shower of hailstones happened causing me to take shelter in the doorway of the church. Such was the intensity of the shower that the hailstones drifted almost up to my knees. As soon as the shower stopped we ran for the car. We were soaking wet. We headed straight home. I was angry with Webb for having led me on such a wild goose chase.
As soon as I changed into dry cloths I picked up the notepad determined to give Webb a piece of my mind. I told him I couldn’t understand if he were a good spirit why he should lie to me. He explained they were only little lies and it was important that we maintain contact. So that this could happen he found it necessary to humour me by doing his best to show me graveyards, which he did. He told me the message he carried was much more important than where his mortal remains might lie. I felt mildly chastised but no longer angry. So started my journey into the world of spirit and spirituality, a journey to find the “Light within”
Previous "Student" of Brendan O'Callaghan:
10.31.1997 -http://www.independent.ie/national-news/itll-be-alfright-on-the-night-461598.html (http://www.independent.ie/national-news/itll-be-alfright-on-the-night-461598.html)
.." ``The earth energies are different at these times. To an extent I was sceptical about whether there was actually any truth to this, but I've discovered that the amount of spiritual activity reported leading up to Samhain and Ceit Samhain goes up by six times,'' says Sandra.
And it is not just the Celts who get supernatural stirrings at this time of year. Cultures all over the world have rituals and festivals at the end of October/beginning of November, says Sandra. The Mexicans have the Fiesta de los Muertos a carnival of the dead, just like Samhain while Indians celebrate Divali, a Hindu holiday, on November 2.
The traditional way to mark Divali is to light candles and kerosene oil lamps, similar to the old Irish custom of keeping a candle in the window at Hallowe'en to guide any lost souls.
With such worldwide unanimity about the significance of these dates, it is hardly surprising that Christianity jumped on the bandwagon. Catherine Lenehan, who describes herself as a seer and clairvoyant, explains it was a case of the ancient church saying ``if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'' Early Christians knew, she says, that they couldn't suppress a festival that was so powerfully embedded in the community's psyche, so they decided to take it over.
Catherine explains that the Celts had a fascination with circles, believing that life was a circle, as was the cycle of years. Accordingly, they divided each year into four parts the seasons and had a festival for each. Samhain ``symbolised the fruitfulness of the harvest, the dark nights, and a time of withdrawal and renewal,'' she says.
"... Lorraine's business card features the mysterious prefix N.F.S.H., which she tells me stands for the National Federation of Spiritual Healers. She points out that, amongst other things, this requires a two-year period of training in Lorraine's case under the guidance of Brendan O'Callaghan at the Irish Spiritual Centre and helps a potential customer know that he or she is not in the hands of a charlatan.
Lorraine says she is there ``to take the hocus pocus out'' of her brand of spirituality."
Claims himself as a "Counselor" (dealing with a mentally ill person):
Sept 26, 2011 http://beyondmeds.com/2011/09/06/immortalitymadness/ (http://beyondmeds.com/2011/09/06/immortalitymadness/)
"...God how I hated the downside of madness, the self inflicted loneliness, while surrounded by love, the self rejection of love on offer, seeing the pain of rejection in your lovers eyes and not being able to respond to that pain.
God how I hated it, my hate was really for myself, the pain of madness impossible to express.
So I fell foul of the pill for every ill crowd, nearly killed me, attempted suicide when I was on my heaviest doses of a mix of ten different drugs a day, four different diagnoses, they really didn’t have a clue, psychiatry.
So I ran as far as I could away from psychiatry, I studied me; learned about me, with great help and love from my then councillor Brendan O’Callaghan."

Callaghan's writings are a confused mess. He claims to be receiving sometimes from spirits, sometimes from God, sometimes from something higher than God, and sometimes from NDN spirits.
And yet all of these sound exactly like Callaghan himself, written like him use the exact same phrases of very vague Nuage ideas.
We're supposed to believe writing this bad and ineloquent came from God or enlightended spirits...No very wise being would sound like a first year philosophy major trying too hard to be "profound"... or have so much trouble using basic grammar. ;D
"At this stage there are no new Spirits being created even though some might opine that there are. God was one. God is still one but at this moments is awaiting you and I and so many other aspects to reunite with Him again. I use the term Him out of lack of vocabulary to address God otherwise."
"If you feel that you have made a complete mess of your earth life then this is as valuable and having made a complete success of it. Either way you succeed. If you make a complete mess and don’t realise it, this is only because you haven’t finished making the mess yet."
"Jesus thought the way. He never suggested that he was going to carry you on his back. He helped people with their difficulties but could never depower the benefit of their individual experiences by releasing them from the responsibilities."

What a wonderful representation of my work by a sad deluded psychopath. The person who placed all these posts sought to gain power through my work and when they weren't successful tried to denounce it. I have been working in the area of spirituality for over thirty years. I do not consider myself an Elder, maybe an older. I do not consider myself a leader but a co-searcher. I do not consider myself a Native American but I do acknowledge my roots as being indigenous Irish. I do not consider myself a teacher but I do share my experiences. I do not charge for my service to Spirit but I do look for payment for the facilities I myself have to pay for such as rent and electricity and the phone, the number of which was kindly given above. If some one needs healing but can't afford it we provide it free. We use Facebook to provide a forum for spiritual discussion and another for free Distant Spiritual Healing.
I am on this forum in my own name. I do not hide behind some false name or false initials. In my thirty years of practice I have met many Native Americans and have canvassed extensively for Native American rights. I have great respect for all indigenous people and great sadness for the suffering they have had to endure at the hands of the colonials. We Irish have similarly suffered at the hands of our neighbours with over 600 years of suppression and genocide. We have lost our indigenous spirituality and had it replaced by religion. We now are seeking to bring it back and look to the Native American to help us find our spirituality, not by adopting theirs but by using it as a platform for discovering ours. I respect all your traditions and hold them sacred. I do not condone the practices of those who come to Ireland as representatives of Native American ways, demeaning the sacred ceremony by turning it into a performance. All that this NAFPS stands for is based on exposing these 'plastic' showmen. I do not encourage shamanic practices as I see so many so called shaman' becoming a sham.
I appreciate this as my right to reply. My work will stand any scrutiny that is honestly carried out. I never advertise my work but rely on Spirit to guide those who need me to me. I don't make any claims. I do not criticise others. I do not teach dogma.
Finally I would like to point out that the person who levelled these accusations at me and my work has posed as Native American but when asked in what way could they make this claim ignored the question. They have sought to misrepresent the Native American by suggesting that they were in communication with the Elders and were passing on their knowledge. Some of this 'knowledge' was very inaccurate and mostly used to try and gain a position within the groups so that they could peddle their brand of indigenous ways and so they could sell some books and a course they had devised. They asked to use the International Spiritual Centre website to sell courses on addictions with the idea that they could make big money and also at the same time claimed to have no money yet could afford to publish their books. They also thought they could publish my books and when they didn't get their way have mounted this campaign to denegrade my work. My books are available on Facebook free to download.
I stand by my work as I stand by Spirit. I leave it to you the reader of this post to decide for yourself what is right or wrong.
-
I do not consider myself a Native American but I do acknowledge my roots as being indigenous Irish.
Then why do you call yourself a "Medicine Man"? No "indigenous Irish" ever called themselves that. Why do you claim to represent Native people in your "channelled" preaching? Do you really believe Native American spirits are speaking through you? Can you see why actual Native people might be offended by this?
I looked at your websites. You put knotwork on them, but that's the only "Irish" thing I could see. Newage is not "indigenous Irish". It is one of the things that destroys actual Irish traditions.
-
Of course indigenous Irish called their healers medicine men. Where is it ever said that only Native Americans have that title. The healers of every indigenous people are known as such. In western society they are called doctors. I do represent myself and I'm native Irish. I have never claimed to have Native American 'spirits' speaking through me, I don't know where you get that idea. Spirit has no nationality. If you look at and have read the content on The Irish Spiritual Centre website you will see that I do not subscribe to newageism. I see you said you looked but obviously you haven't read. Actually the knot work you mention is not Irish, it is Celtic, one of our early European invaders. Surely redrighthand is not your real name. If you wish to pass comment then surely you have the courage to give your true identity. To you consider yourself Native American? If so how much of you is? You pretend to know me and the Irish culture but I would suggest you know nothing of either me or Ireland unless the Red Hand you refer to is the Red Hand of Ulster, but I wouldn't expect you to know about that either. And I don't preach nor does Spirit.
I wonder why you are communicating like this? Why are you so aggressive with somebody you don't know and have never met, or read by the look of things? What is possessing you? Why do you carry hate? None of these are the qualities of one who is spiritually aware and therefore I don't think you are in any way qualified to discuss spiritual matters. I realise you are not your behaviour but you only present your ignorance and disrespect for a fellow human being in these comments you are making and this doesn't sound like any true Native American that I have ever met. Might I suggest you read my material with an open mind, it is only an hypothesis, not a gospel.

A Bhreandán, conas a dearfá "medicine man" as Sengoidelc?
-
Well done, is that Ulster Irish then? Are you ready to move out from behind the Red Right Hand title and tell me who you are? I like how proficient you are in Irish language, far better than me. Perhaps you could tell me what medicine men were referred to in the Irish language. There must always have been those who were healers, surely we weren't that healthy.
-
How about 'Fear Leigheas'?
-
Starting with an English phrase and then attempting to translate it into Modern Irish is not finding a Native term that means "Medicine Man", and I think you know this.
The point, a Bhreandán, is that neither ancient Irish nor modern Irish healers were called "Medicine Men". It's an English phrase, created by anthropologists who were trying to describe Native peoples (and pretty much always getting it wrong). Every real Indigenous tradition has it's own native terms, in its own native languages, for healers and spiritual leaders.
Imposing outsider English terms, the words of the colonizers, on the Native Americans or the actual Native Irish traditions, only obscures both traditions. Again, I see absolutely nothing Native Irish in what you are teaching.

[Long series of insults and personal attacks removed. Consider yourself warned Mr OCallaghan, debate without getting personal or acting chidlish. It hardly shows you to be a spiritual man of you act like a ten year old.]
If you live in Ireland why don't we meet for coffee or a tea and talk this through because [more insults].

Three points, all really obvious to just about everyone.
1. Virtually every culture used a term particular to that culture, and most did not translate as medicine man.
2. People may choose their onscreen names as they choose, be public about who they are if they choose. It is incredibly arrogant to demand someone's real name. This is a forum which includes survivors of cult abuse or spiritual exploiters abuse. Many abusers also intimidate or threaten critics, with tactics rangin from violent threats to libel to legal threats (generaly empty but still formidable if you don't have the means to defend yourself in court].
3. And the central issue remains: you claim to be channeling a number of spirits or beings. Yet they each speak and write precisely like you do.
So yes, that does mean you are either deluded or lying, Mr OCallaghan. You've just been talking to yourself for years, either pretending to hear spirits, or imagining it.
Carl Sagan used to wonder why supposed mediums didn't give us a cure for cancer or a formula that would free us from the fossil fuels destroying the planet. Instead we get lots of, to use your word, rubbish. Pseudo spiritual rubbish that, again, sounds like a first year philosophy student.
Tell you what, OCallaghan. You claim to channel a Native spirit. I'd like to hear your fluent Native dialect. We have Lakota and Cherokee speakers in here. We probably could find a speaker for most Native dialects.
And don't pretend the experience happened in English or any other Euro language. Native ceremonies are always done in Native languages because there are subtleties and important concepts that can't be translated precisely. Same with many teachings. If they had important teachings to pass on, it would only be in the original.
So let's hear your flawless Native language skills. And no running to a dictionary or translation software.
If you can't, then we know your experience was either your delusion or your deliberate hoax.

Well, I did like the bit where he admitted he only understands English. I guess his "Indigenous Irish" spirits also speak English-only. His attempt to do an Irish translation was, indeed, a machine translation. Guess his Spirits require him to use Google Translate.
I also like the part where he asked us to tell him what ancient, native Irish healers were called in the native languages. Guess what, Mr. Ó Callaghan, we're not here to teach you how to be a more convincing fraud.

How can an invitation to meet for coffee be considered an insult? How can anything I have said be considered an insult? I am sorry if that is how I came across to you as I certainly would never wish to insult anyone. I would be interested to know who hosts this group and where you are. I would also like to know who I am talking to. I would think that is basic good manners. I don't believe in debate but I do believe in discussion. I also believe we must stand by what we say and act with respect and responsibility. I'm beginning to think this group is very biased and judgemental. It would appear it is ok to criticise but not to defend. Please tell me I'm wrong. I have no love for new age fake plastic shamans either.
I have never claimed to be channelling Native American Spirits, I fail to understand where you get that from. Of course it sounds just like me. It is obvious you don't know the first thing about Spirit communication but must only be aware of the questionable performances by questionable psychics. Our native language is mainly English so even in religion the mass is now conducted in English so everyone can understand. I do not conduct ceremonies of any form. I do not attempt to replicate the sacred ways of others. I do try to lead a spiritual life as best I know.
I can understand that there are many who have been abused and damaged by new age practitioners but I can assure you so have I. I still will never yield to the bully nor hide my head I will always use my name and be open and honest. I do not play games.
My work is respected by those who come in contact with it, and those who receive benefit from it. I have harmed no one but have healed thousands.
I cannot understand why you try and be an authority on a subject you appear to know so little about and to criticise so vehemently someone you know nothing about, even though someone has gone to the bother of posting so much. Who ever you are I feel sorry that you are apparently suffering so much and will pray that you get some comfort. One day we will all know all, but only to that moment, then there is the future to unfold.
You have no need to hide from me, I hold no malice towards you. I enjoy talking about my work and sharing it with you and others. I have no secrets. I seek no label. Because I listen to Spirit I share what I hear and because I listen they 'talk' with me. Spirit has no language other than symbols and happenings. It could be said they impress on my thoughts and I express those impressions with words, my words. From your earlier dialogue it would appear that you are so taken with your own agenda that you might find it difficult to understand where I am coming from. This isn't meant to insult your intelligence in any way. I used to be an engineer and saw the world from that perspective and now I see it entirely differently. I used to enjoy debate but now I see it as pointless. I have met Native American Holy Men, Elders and had wonderful discussions about indigenous spirituality. We never debated we always shared and parted good friends, each respecting the other. I respect you, who ever you are. I respect all this group also and the intent that goes with it. It doesn't matter whether you agree with me or not, I can only speak my truth I cannot govern how you hear it. God bless you all.
I told you I don't speak Irish and yes I went to a translation program probably like yourself. I don't know why you would think I'm a fraud. You have no basis to suggest this only a hurt mind and an overinflated ego.

O'Callaghan needs help remembering: :o
I have never claimed to be channelling Native American Spirits, I fail to understand where you get that from.
I have never claimed to have Native American 'spirits' speaking through me, I don't know where you get that idea.
Because I listen to Spirit I share what I hear and because I listen they 'talk' with me.
Brendan O'Callaghan admitting channeled Indian:

educated indian asked a valid question, and everyone would like to see evidence of above, so to determine if above channeled by Brendan O'Callaghan is legimate: So let's hear your flawless Native language skills. And no running to a dictionary or translation software.
If you can't, then we know your experience was either your delusion or your deliberate hoax. (http://So let's hear your flawless Native language skills. And no running to a dictionary or translation software.
If you can't, then we know your experience was either your delusion or your deliberate hoax.)
(Waiting for O'Callaghan reply, to verify his genuine, authentic channeled Native American experience.)
As for abusive tactics, judging, labels, etc (typical of cult leader to retain power and control) these quotes should help to quickly understand this is NOT a man of any sort of spirit, but a delusional creep/hoax who has gotten away with this for many many years. Bullies,manipulates, to seek control, and claim as spiritual, talking to only the highest source or "God".
Delusional behavior for any human to consider they only have or receive such information, and very Cult like. Especially given his proud claim of doing this "work" for 30 years.
I have been working in the area of spirituality for over thirty years.
Any person who questions Brendan O'Callaghan work or writings will be met with the following statements and have been for many many years:
You have no need to hide from me, I hold no malice towards you.
What a wonderful representation of my work by a sad deluded psychopath.
Of course indigenous Irish called their healers medicine men. Where is it ever said that only Native Americans have that title.
None of these are the qualities of one who is spiritually aware and therefore I don't think you are in any way qualified to discuss spiritual matters.
To you consider yourself Native American? If so how much of you is? You pretend to know me and the Irish culture but I would suggest you know nothing of either me or Ireland
I do not charge for my service to Spirit but I do look for payment
I never advertise my work but rely on Spirit to guide those who need me to me. I don't make any claims. I do not criticise others. I do not teach dogma.
If you live in Ireland why don't we meet for coffee or a tea and talk this through because [more insults].
What is possessing you?
Fishing for information so he can further lead his followers into believing his "Channeled" sources:
Are you ready to move out from behind the Red Right Hand title and tell me who you are? I like how proficient you are in Irish language, far better than me. Perhaps you could tell me what medicine men were referred to in the Irish language.
Very arrogant of O'Callaghan (typical Cult Tactic):
Surely redrighthand is not your real name. If you wish to pass comment then surely you have the courage to give your true identity. To you consider yourself Native American? If so how much of you is? You pretend to know me and the Irish culture but I would suggest you know nothing of either me or Ireland/quote]
None of these are the qualities of one who is spiritually aware and therefore I don't think you are in any way qualified to discuss spiritual matters./quote]
I see you said you looked but obviously you haven't read.
From your earlier dialogue it would appear that you are so taken with your own agenda that you might find it difficult to understand where I am coming from. This isn't meant to insult your intelligence in any way.
Delusional:
Might I suggest you read my material with an open mind, it is only an hypothesis, not a gospel.
I have harmed no one but have healed thousands.
I don't know why you would think I'm a fraud.
I respect you, who ever you are. I respect all this group also and the intent that goes with it. It doesn't matter whether you agree with me or not, I can only speak my truth I cannot govern how you hear it. God bless you all.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS DELUSIONAL, DANGEROUS, ABUSIVE, CULT LEADER MAN TRYING TO DEFEND? HIS ENDLESS CHATS AND WRITINGS WITH HIMSELF? HIS GOD WORD? HIS FOLLOWERS?

Of note, O'Callaghan mentioned a few times for people to "Read" his writings and work on new website "Internationalspiritualcentre.com" He failed to mention that one has to become a "member" to gain access to such high messages and work of "God" and "Spirit of Highest Source".
Apparently this need for registration stems from being viewed as "attacked" by others, or by people questioning the validity of Brendan and abusive character, otherwise this type of work would never require such.
(indicative of trouble in the past, of anyone questioning or calling out Brendan O'Callaghan behavior or cult tactics)
We cannot accept abuse of any kind in the Forums or on the ISC Web site, This is a place of “Spiritual” discussion and everyone must respect each other at all times.

6. I have met Native American Holy Men, Elders and had wonderful discussions about indigenous spirituality.
1. If you weren't so lazy you could have read the Intro page or any of the Intros of our members.
2. Clearly a lie, and one you were caught in. Your own website says different.
3. And there's that condescending, insulting, oh so superior manner. And you did so at least a dozen times in your post. This time I'll leave it for all to see, since it punctures your pseudo spiritual front.
It's obvious you don't know the first thing about spirit communication from traditional spiritual leaders. Yes, of course they use language. Any Native tradition is communicated by a Native language. Anything else is so much gibberish.
4. Of course you've harmed people. When you spout racist stereotypes about Natives and tobacco spirits and alcohol spirits, you harm people. When you exploit or give false hope, you harm people.
So let's see you submit your claim of helping people to scientists. Show me medical researchers who verify your claims.
5. That is gibberish of the worst sort. Of course spirits communicate with words. It's amazing how you know so little, except how to take money, how to be a pay to pray exploiter.
6. Name them. I would bet some of them are the very frauds we've exposed or debunked in here.
And clearly you never told them the stereotypes you hold. Clearly you didn't learn much about genuine Native traditions.

They say the abused often become the abuser. I see now where you are coming from, you are abusing me and my work. I was a friend of Thomas Banyacya and Wallace Black Elk and Grace Spotted Eagle. You are a disgrace and if you are Native American your people would be ashamed of your behaviour. I'm sure you will edit this to suit yourself as you have edited every thing that I have communicated. You are obviously delusional and suffering from negative influences. You are incapable of discussion and choose to criticise from a position of obscurity. I do not need to defend my work. I do not need to defend myself. You are showing yourself to be in deep psychosis and your hate for everything but yourself is palpable. You are grossly ignorant and disrespectful to the Native American and all indigenous people. I find it hard to see you as anything but a white wannabe and possibly working for a government organisation to discredit the good work of those who honestly offer themselves into the service of God. You don't need others to discredit you, you do this for yourself. God bless you with some wisdom, a little will go a long way. If anyone would like to know me just look at my work.
-
I'm sure you will edit this to suit yourself as you have edited every thing that I have communicated.
O'Callaghan, None of your "writing" has been edited by anyone, it has all been direct sentences, quotes from your replies, your writings. (this indicates paranoia).
You are a disgrace and if you are Native American your people would be ashamed of your behaviour.
You are grossly ignorant and disrespectful to the Native American and all people.
Your comments above clearly show you are no man of spirit, never have been, nor capable.
You are aware that you have left a long trail and history of abusing people in your own country of Ireland?
And that your many victims and survivors are INCREDIBLY fearful because of your retaliation tactics. All symptoms of abuse by you, and a very clear "red flag" of dangerous Cult leader.
Your victims and survivors have faced retaliation in their communities in Ireland. Not to mention the disclaimer of "accepting no abuse" on your website, is clear that this is a pattern of yours. You obviously feel it is okay to abuse everyone or anyone else.
You purposely seek out vulnerable people (women primarily, those who have lost children or loved ones, poor health, etc) and abuse them by pretending to be "psychic" to contact their loved ones, then further them into your twisted mind of teachings, delusional writings, claiming you only channel the highest spirit, god.
This is a control tactic common of Cult Leader abusers. Promoting your insane writings and delusional self, as "Spiritual Healer" from "Irish Spiritual Center" to label or status of "International Spiritual Centre". (from Ireland to the WORLD) is incredibly dangerous, and speaks loudly and clearly of what you are, a phony that will stop at nothing to pull more innocent people into your Cult, nor stop at abusing them. You see nothing wrong with such, therefore are indeed delusional. (PROVE your healing, show the evidence... provide the channeled Native American language if you are so "authentic")
This disturbed behavior is no different than a priest hiding behind the curtain of "God" and molesting young children.
You have molested vulnerable people, in your country by taking advantage of them, thinking your some sort of "Spiritual Leader", "Spiritual Healer", man who talks to "God" or "Highest Source".
You have openly admitted ownership of the writings and your work, and being paid. Only documents that indeed you are the leader and monster behind this, seeing nothing at all wrong with your "work".
Never taking personal responsibility or owning up to your sickness of taking advantage of vulnerable people.
It is false to think you can train anyone to be a "Spriritual Healer and one can do such by taking your workshops for payment.
You actively continue to promote these, and have "members/followers"advertise, writings, including your published book,"Modern Medicine Man", throughout communities in Ireland, and online.
Anyone who questions the authenticity of your writings, or ethics, is met by delusional angry replies, bullied, retaliated, followed by clear paranoid statements documented above, or telling followers there are "Campaigns against you and them" further causing distress to your followers, victims and survivors.
This is not a person of "spiritual" ways or means, not to mention your lack of evidence.
Thirty years is a lengthy career, because of your long history, it is my belief that you are the most dangerous type of predator there is in the field of "Spiritual" charlatans.
Do not mistake silence, as meaning no one is watching or advocating for the victims and survivors of your "work".

Helpful Information and links for victims of O'Callaghan:
Identifying the Predator: Spiritual, Financial, and Sexual Abusers
[/color]
There are common traits, common behaviors in human predators of all kinds. Spiritual scammers often operate the same way and use the same methods as other types of criminal con artists, batterers, and rapists. These different kinds of abuse often blend into each other.
A liar doesn’t just tell falsehoods/lies to strangers or only in certain situations. A liar routinely lies to everyone. In the same way, a spiritual fraud is not just a spiritual liar. He or she will always lie about other things as well.
Understanding these patterns of deceit among abusers and rapists gives us direct insight into the patterns of spiritual frauds. The following points are offered specifically about the patterns of physical abusers but the parallels to spiritual exploiters should be clear. The aim of this post is to help people in spotting frauds before they can do harm, and to help those who have been harmed find help.
1. Abusers are charming and tend to be very skilled at social manipulation.
2. They are skilled liars. They will also declare they are very honest and honorable but their actual actions will show otherwise.
3. They are in control of their actions, not out-of-control. They do not harm everyone they meet. They are very careful to abuse people they feel confident they can get away with harming, such as wives/girlfriends, children, “apprentices,” or those they are “instructing” ceremonially. Substance abuse may increase their aggression but you should never accept being high/drunk as an excuse for their actions. They are far more in control of their actions than they let on and they also harm their victims when sober.
4. They blame others for their behavior. “The abuser shifts responsibility for his actions away from himself and onto others, a shift that allows him to justify his abuse because the other person supposedly "caused" his behavior.” The fact is, abusing another person is a choice. It is the fault of no one but the abuser.
5. While “friends” and acquaintances will be subjected to manipulation, lies and sometimes emotional abuse, usually only the abuser’s intimate partners and immediate family will see the monstrous side of them. Abusers are very invested in their public image, and will use acquaintances to lie for them and/or pass on their lies in their defense. They will spend a great deal of time lying to non-intimate “friends” to lay a false trail of misdirection and alibis. On the internet and in long-distance phone calls, it is particularly easy for abusers to construct a good front for their online friends who may never meet them in person.
6. Abusers specialize in finding out your vulnerabilities. In the beginning they will tell you how special you are. They will encourage you to confess your fears and vulnerabilities, and they will make a good show of being vulnerable themselves (even though it is just an act and built on lies). They do this to make you emotionally dependent on them, and so later they can use these things to harm and manipulate you.
7. They will seem too good to be true. And they are.
There is a common misconception that predators and abusers are easy to spot, that they display obvious signs of their predatory nature. While there are warning signs to look out for (linked below), predators have carefully tailored their disguises through their years of abusing others and getting away with it.

Even for an exploiter and fairly cheesy and obvious fraud, this was pretty childish and ignorant.
Since you failed to show even one person whose been helped by your work outside of you building your own bank account, I take there is no evidence at all of you helping anyone except your own dubious word.
That you'd think anyone would be impressed by claiming to be friends with WBE and GSE only shows how very ignorant of Native traditions and peoples you are. WBE and GSE were frauds, and really obvious ones widely denounced by just about everyone for more than forty years.
Claiming the endorsement of those who have passed on is a standard tactic used by exploiters. Conveniently, they're not around to contradict you. So your claim of friendship with Banyacya is phony. I'd be surprised if you'd ever done more than ask him a few questions when he was on a speaking tour. It's obvious you don't understand what he says because the Hopi are very opposed to exploitation of their or any other Native tradition.
Your attempts to insult us just make you look even more foolish. It's condescending and downright racist for a white exploiter to lecture several thousand members of a Native traditionalist forum on what he thinks "true" Native traditions are.
Far from "being ashamed" traditionalists work with us and are glad to have our help. In fact many of us ARE tradititionalists.
And the final last spitting of bile from your mouth is a letter you wrote to the forum email. Apparently you didn't realize it went straight to the mods. In that email you repeated in shorter and angrier and more libelous form what you've said in this thread: That your critics must be mentally ill, should be locked up, and are out to destroy you.
Any destructiveness clearly comes from you. The only remaining question is still unanswered: Is your claim of "feeling spirits" a cynical con game or your own self delusion?

This creep is still sniffing around NDNZ on facebook, trying to collect anyone who might sell out. Or even collect folks to just sit on his friends list and make it look like he actually knows Natives. Meanwhile he posts ignorant crap.

I am trying to locate Brendan O'Callaghan's Facebook presence. He himself wrote:
We use Facebook to provide a forum for spiritual discussion and another for free Distant Spiritual Healing. … My books are available on Facebook free to download.
I also found this:
Oversees FB Groups and an two online websites.
