Ireland, Wales, Spain, France. "Power";"Renown"; "Fiery Arrow or Power" (Breo-saighead). Daughter of the Dagda; called the poetess. Sometimes she is seen as three sisters. This stems from her triple aspects. Often called The Triple Brigids, Three Blessed Ladies of Britain, The Three Mothers. Brigid's healing wells are found all across Ireland. She is honored on the feast of Imbolc, which is today known as The Feast of Saint Brigid. She had an exclusive female priestesshood at Kildare and an everburning sacred fire. The number of priestesses was nineteen, representing the nineteen-year cycle of the Celtic "Great Year". Evan after Ireland was invaded and overtaken by Christien her flame still burned, guarded by nineteen nuns. The Church finally ordered it snuffed out. Just recently It was once again lit at Kildare. Her kelles were sacred prostitutes and her soldiers brigands. Brigid was also the Matron goddess of physicians, and any metal workers. Goddess of fire, fertillity, the hearth, all feminine arts and crafts, and martial arts. Healing, physicians, agriculture, inspiration, learning, poetry, divination, prophecy, smithcraft, animal husbandry, love, whichcraft, occolt knowlege. She is the protector of newbornes and children. It is said when you ask for her protection you can use a wand, for her gental embrace, or a sword, for her sharp justice.


Brigit is also known as a midwife. She was called apon to attend births and bless and comfort the mother and child. The Christiens carried this a step farther by proclaiming St. Brigit as the midwife who attended to Christ's birth and later fostered him. More information about Brigid can be found in the links page and our story and poetry section.
