Today I learned on the Irish Mythology Podcast that the Goddess/Saint #Brigid had two sisters also named Brigid. Was their mother an organisation obsessive who filed all her daughters under the same name? Anyway it's at https://linktr.ee/irishmythologypodcast Scroll back to February 2021. #brigidsday @irishmythology

For #LaFeileBride #BrigidsDay #TrinityCollegeDublin installed four new busts in the Library's famous #LongRoom. These are the first there to celebrate women.

These #TrailblazingWomen are scientist Rosalind Franklin, folklorist, dramatist and theatre founder Augusta Gregory, mathematician Ada Lovelace and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft

An event to see them: "The Long Room’s New Sculptures − Celebrating Women’s Scholarship"

Date: Thu, Feb 2 • Noon

For those who aren't sure if #Imbolc is Feb. 1st or 2nd... the answer is "Yes". 🙂 It's an evening to evening celebration, usually celebrated with bonfires and candle light, as Brigid is one of the few female deities of fire and the forge, though she is also worshipped as a goddess of healing, poetry, fertility, and such a strong goddess in Ireland that the essence of her myth was reborn in the Catholic Saint Brigid of Kildare. She was my first Patron Goddess. 💖 So I have so much love for her. She will *always* be on my altar and in my heart, every time I write and create art... especially poetry. So, come twilight, light your fires and take a moment to nurture your inspiration, Indulge in creation, and bask in the warmth of Her energy tonight and tomorrow. Blessed be. #brigidsday #brigid #brigidofkildare #pagan #neopagan #witch #celticpantheon #celtic #druid #ecclecticpagan

Happy St Brigid's Day!
I've had a story brewing around #SaintBrigid for a long time now, think I'll begin full on development of it once my current projects are wrapped up! Until then, enjoy this sketch and have a great first day of Spring!

'Stomp for Brigid. She Stomps for Us.' I made this a few years ago now, I don't even think this was made in lockdown fever, just a normal 'end of january' fever. Brigid came in the night to wake up the little seeds, fair play to her, calling an end to this most cursed january. Well done everyone, we made it. ❤️
#LáFhéileBríde #BrigidsDay

In honour of St Brigid’s Day 2023 - from his 1989 collection -Brendan Kennelly ‘Love of Ireland - Poems from the Irish’. His translation of ‘Saint Brigid’s Prayer’. #BrigidsDay #StBrigidsDay #imbolc2023 #mastodaoine

‘I’d sit with the men, the women and God,
There by the lake of beer,
We’d be drinking good health forever
And every drop would be a prayer’.

Has #DoctorWho ever been to Ireland?

An episode with Saint Brigid as the timeless protector of some western island would be good.

Happy Lá Fhéile Bríde / Brigid’s Day / Imbolc
Hope you all remembered to put your brat Bríde out last night #BrigidsDay #imbolc2023 #LaFheileBride #mastodaoine

So our #brigidsday #brigitsnight #imbolc tradition of a blue ribbon out overnight before sunrise on the 1st February continues…

1 February is St. Brigid’s Day, Lá Fhéile Bríde, a celebration of women, their leadership, creativity and talents.

Do you know any women that have inspired you in your care for our natural environment? If so, get in touch, and share their story!
