Hello my darlings, and welcome.
In this video I will be talking about the Celtic goddess Brigid
I want to share some general information about her.
And then talk about what she represents when she appears in your life, in an oracle card
reading.
I’ve created this series of short videos, to share each of the card meanings from my
Goddess Wisdom Oracle App.
Exalted one, Goddess of Healers, Poets, Smiths, Childbirth and Inspiration; Brigid is a Goddess
of Fire and Hearth and a patron of warfare or Briga.
Her soldiers were called Brigands.
She is also known as Brigantia, Brid, Bride, and Brigit.
A fire goddess, Brigit is associated with the fires of creativity and poetry, the fires
of the forge and smithing, and the hearth fire and a protector of the home.
Brigid is a guardian goddess of domesticated animals, and associated with cattle, sheep
and especially pregnant or nursing animals.
Her feast day is February first, often called Imbolc where the return of the light and the
coming of spring is celebrated as well as the newborn animals.
She is a goddess of fertility and motherhood.
She is said to lean over every cradle.
The animals associated with Brigid and sacred to her are cattle, sheep, oxen, boars and
rams.
Her role as protector of domesticated animals was demonstrated via the animals she kept.
Brigid has two oxen, Fea and Femen, and the king of the boars is also her companion.
She is also associated with a magnificent Ram named Cirb, who is the king of all sheep.
She is also associated with holy wells and springs, sacred to Her for thousands of years.
Many of Ireland’s wells and waterways are devoted to her.
Her waters are said to heal all manner of disease.
She is known as a patroness of healers, magicians and wise people.
In 453 of the common era, the goddess was transformed by the Church into St. Brigid,
the patroness of farm work and cattle, and protector of the household from fire and calamity.
In the Goddess Wisdom Oracle, the Goddess Brigid represents ability
Brigid, master crafter, smith, magician, and poet has come to counsel you.
Red, orange, and gold are her colors, as she is as fiery as the forges she loves to visit.
Brigid has appeared today to inspire you.
Her message is all about your abilities and skills.
Enterprising and adept at many different skills, no matter what needs to be done, Brigid handles
it with precision and panache, drawing on her variety of talents and pragmatic expertise.
She could be called a literal “Jill of all trades.”
Brigid counsels you to be dependable and responsible and to be generous with your knowledge and
abilities.
Brigid gives abundantly of her time and riches because she knows that what we give, we receive
back threefold.
She is always there to encourage and inspire artists of all kids whenever she is needed.
If Brigid has come to you today, it may mean that you are in need of a creative spark,
a little fire underneath to inspire and motivate you.
Or that you have an opportunity to mentor an artist or someone who works in your field.
In education, Brigid is almost without peer, and encourages you to learn as much as you
can before moving forward.
If there is a new skill you would like to learn, now is the time to pursue it with Brigid’s
blessing.
New abilities bring new confidence.
You will be able to resolve any situation if you trust in yourself and your abilities.
Brigit is the patron of poets and bards, as well, so listen for her music and words in
the birds, the trees, and the crackle of a hearth fire, and find insight and revelation.
