Brigid is one of the oldest and most beloved Celtic dieties. She was believed to be the goddess of creativity, artists, poets, healers and craftspersons, particularly the guardian of forge and hearth. She was of the Tuatha De Danann, the Tribe of the Goddess Danu and the daughter of the Daghda, the God of Great Knowledge. Known also as Bride, Briginda, Brigidu and Briganda, she was the High or Exalted One, also the Ashless Flame, Flame of Two Eternities, and Mother of All Wisdom. One of the triple aspect dieties, she took the form of three sisters, all named Brigid.
One of Brigid's most potent symbols is the flame, represented here by the sun. Her's was the fire of the hearth and forge, the flame of inspiration and healing. An equally important symbol is her connection to water, uniting the underworld with the overworld as a source of inspiration, healing and purification.
The first day of February, known as Imbolg, is dedicated to Brigid and is a celebration of spring and fertility since she is the patron goddess of domestic animals. As Saint Brigid, or Saint Bride, the patron saint of Ireland, she is believed to have founded the monastary of Kildare, meaning the Church of the Oak. She taught the Christian faith by weaving crosses out of rushes, known as Brigid's Cross, which are still made and hung in cottages for protection on February first, believed to be the date of Saint Brigid's death.
