Who Is Goddess Brigit . . .
Goddess Brigit is a Celtic Triple Goddess of Fire, who brings the flame of inspiration, powers of intuition and divination, and offers tremendous energy toward healing and growth. This bright and beautiful Goddess is truly an empowering aspect of the Divine Feminine.
As a Triple Goddess, this means that Brigit has the energy of the Maiden, Mother and the Crone aspects of the Divine Feminine and that she may reveal herself in any of these sacred forms.
Brigit’s name is said to mean “The Exalted One”, “The Bright One”, “Bright Arrow”, “The Powerful One”, and “The High One.” So, no matter how you say it, Goddess Brigit is Bright, Powerful and Highly honored and respected!
Brigit is a Celtic Goddess of Fire, Lady of the Sacred Flame and/or of the Flame of Inspiration. She is the Patroness of Poetry, Healing, Smithcraft, Midwifery and Animal Care & Breeding. Brigit is also Lady of the Healing Waters, presiding over many healing springs and wells.
She is both a warrior and a healer, aligned with fire and water; Brigit is a beautiful blend of seeming contradictions that truly compliment the whole. This may be why this Goddess is believed to be able to assist with any endeavor!
Some of Goddess Brigit’s specialties include courage, protection, empowerment, inspiration, life purpose and direction, healing, poetry and writing, and craft work.
She is celebrated on February 1 and honored during the ancient Festival Imbolc, which celebrates the growing Light. Although winter may still be upon us, Imbolc celebrates the promise of spring. Some of the themes of the season include purification, new beginnings, making pledges and commitments. Another version of this festival is known as Candlemas, and candles intended to be utilized for ceremony are blessed, candle lighting themes and cleaning the hearth and lighting a new fire.
Known as a Great Mother Goddess of Ireland and also as a Saint, Brigit provides a beautiful bridge between beliefs and practices. With this energy, Brigit brings the remembrance of our Oneness and is an awesome affirmation of the Eternal Essence of the Divine Feminine.
Some of Her symbols and correspondences include fire, candles, forges, hearth, sunrise, springs and wells, oak trees, acorns, lambs and ewes, dairy cows, milk, spears and arrows, blackberries, ivy, and the colors yellow, green, and white, St. Brigit’s Cross, and Corn Dolls.
This Celtic Queen of Creative Expression reminds us of the power we wield with our words and encourages us to utilize our Empowered Voice. When we use our Empowered Voice we align our words and thoughts with affirmative language. We ascend from the passive voice and align with firm, focused, decisive, empowered energy that carries a creative force channeled through all aspects of our communication. Whether through written word, verbal communication, song lyrics, poetry and/or through our thoughts, Brigit reminds us to align our language with the Empowered Voice, to wield the magic of our words with that which we desire to create, realize and experience. With this energy, Brigit reminds us of our True Power, with this remembrance we are able to recognize the tremendous creative essence of our Being.
Aligned with the Divine Flame of Inspiration, Goddess Brigit is a magnificent muse, illuminating our natural and true state of inspiration, allowing for our creative energies to flow freely. We are empowered, motivated and inspired to create. With this energy we realize our innate and eternal connection to the Divine Universal Source, we realize our own Inner Light is illuminate Divine Essence. We remember that we are an aspect of the Eternal Flame of Inspiration and that we are always aligned with divine inspiration.
Goddess Brigit inspires, empowers and encourages us to express our Truth through our purpose. She offers assistance in releasing and transcending fears; self-limiting patterns and unhealed energy, helping us to feel protected and supported through any and all aspects of self-expression and communication.
Benevolent Brigit will assist with any and all forms of healing for humans and animals and will mentor healers with their healing practice. Protectress of Her people, those who call upon Brigit for protection will be shielded from harm and lovingly guarded within Her protective embrace. Within the cover of Brigit’s colossal cloak, we feel safe and supported; we transcend the fears founded within illusions of separateness and ascend within the illuminated essence of our True Essential Self.
Goddess Brigit is an all encompassing aspect of the Divine Feminine, reminding us that our own True Potential is beyond any means of measurement. This lovely, illuminated aspect of the Lady is dedicated to the rediscovery and remembrance of our Divine Power. Goddess Brigit is a devoted and steadfast ally to any and all who call upon Her.
