✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Brigid is one of the most beloved goddesses of Celtic Ireland, daughter of the Dagda and patron of poets, healers, and smiths. She represents the creative fire in all its forms—the fire of inspiration, the forge's flame, and the hearth's warmth.
Her importance was so great that she was Christianized as Saint Brigid, with her feast day on February 1st coinciding with the Celtic festival of Imbolc. Many traditions associated with her sacred flame were maintained by Christian nuns at Kildare for centuries.
Brigid was sometimes described as a triple goddess—three sisters all named Brigid, each governing a different domain. She represents the feminine power of creativity, transformation, and nurturing that lies at the heart of Celtic spirituality.
✦ Famous Story
Brigid's sacred flame at Kildare was tended by nineteen nuns, each taking a turn, and on the twentieth night Brigid herself would keep it burning. The flame was never allowed to go out, symbolizing the eternal fire of creativity and spirit.
