BRIDGET

Bridget is a beloved Celtic gidden often called the "Triple Bridget". One of Her aspects rules poetry, writing, and inspiration, another one rules healing, herbolgy, and midwifery, and the third aspect rules the fires of the hearth, the smith and the arts of smith-craft. Bridget is also know as a gidden of fertility, the hearth, the clan-hold, the farmstead, arts and crafts, the waters, the fires and the martial arts. Other titles given to Bridget are; Flaming Arrow, Interconnecting Circles of Light, Three-tongued Flame, Defender of the People, Protector of the Poor, Golden One, She who holds the Mysteries of the endless Spiralic Nature of Being.

Brid has made homes for Herself everywhere that the human people have invited Her to dwell. Brigit now has a dwelling place on every continent on planet Earth. It is not uncommon to find Her statues on hearth altars throughout North America and Europe.

As of old, Brigid does not exult or glorify war and conflict. She tirelessly works to protect all who call on Her from the ravages of warfare. Bride has recently said that She considers warfare to be the last resort of weak minds and of those who lack the courage to face their own fears. Bridget has been known to stand keening for hours with Her feres at the grave sites of those killed in battle. She is not a friend to those who feed the war machines of any country. Brighid was one of the first of the Mysterious Ones to fully support the emerging Cultures of Beauty, Balance and Delight. Brid and Her three best girlfriends; Freya, Hera and Kwan Yin have dedicated themselves to the nurturance and maintenance of the Mysteries of Peace and Plenty.

One of Bridget’s great delights is a peaceful and productive homestead that supports and nurtures all of it’s relatives and that contributes great abundance and beauty to whole of Midgard. Brighid cherishes the loving household. She honors all heath-clans that choose to live in beauty no matter what situation they find themselves in. Bride loves the children of Midgard. She keeps all pregnant women in attention. Bridget will come to any birth that She is asked to attend, freely offering the powers of health and healing to the new mother and her child.

Another of Breo-Saighit great loves is the arts as a whole. She equally cherishes the blacksmith, the goldsmith, the poet and the singer. Bridget loves all who choose to step into the creative worlds of the studio, the smithy and the halls of writing. Brid delights in motivating and inspiring all artists to great feats of creativity. She often enters folks waking and sleeping dreams, whispering into their ears secrets and mysteries, which if listened to, will lead them to amazing creative wonders.

Bridget is often seen dressed sensibly in clothing appropriate to the job She is currently engaged in. Though their is often a bit of decoration on any outfit She chooses to wear. Brid’s beekeeping out fit is stunning. For instance, Her white bee veil is embroidered with hundreds of golden bees. Our Bhride also always keeps a small collection of gowns at hand for those special nights out to the opera or theater. Brid delights in the reds, pinks, yellow, oranges, ivories and blues of spring. But, She also has plenty of dark outfits one may need for a number of those special occasions. Brid delights in honey colored jewels; amber, topaz, diamonds, sapphires, etc. She adores all metals, particularly all well crafted objects of steel. Bridget often wears plain kaki work clothes as She drives through the countryside in Her vintage 1980 Land Rover pickup truck.
