Brigit, also called the exalted one and known as Brigid, Brighid, Bride, or Brig, is a Celtic goddess associated with smith crafts, healing and creativity. She was so powerful and well loved that when the Christians came, they replaced her with a Saint Brigid who had many of the same attributes. To this day, many folks in Ireland celebrate her in both forms. She is celebrated at Imbolc, February 1-2, when she chases away the winter and welcomes the first signs of spring. Her symbols are an eternal flame or fire, sacred wells and springs, and the cauldron, from which life and creativity flow.
Call her if you need healing or a boost to your creativity:
To honour Brigit, light a candle on Imbolc and do something creative. Draw picture, sing a song, write a story, knit or cook; whatever form your creativity takes, dedicate your efforts to Brighid and thank her for the gift of passion and creativity.
In love and light
