Notes to Self
Map Reading
There’s a piece of land between Adrestia and Faerghus near Gaspard that is unoccupied by either territory.
Galatea, Charon, Daphnel and Gloucester are all situated closely to each other only separated by the mountains between Faerghus and Leicester
hey! I only started working with Brigid immediately after last Imbolc (her holiday). I have been prone to visions and clairvoyance type situations, so she literally appeared to me in a vision and told me she was the main goddess watching over me (I had worked with other deities before) and that she was waiting for me to realise my purpose and potential before stepping forward. This was also around the time I decided to actually commit to writing including writing a novel. Brigid is a goddess of poetry and enjoys creativity like this, so that was interesting! I felt a strong attachment to things she is associated with at this time too.
Followers of Brigid,
How did you understand that she was calling you? I think she might be, but I needed help differentiating between my impulsiveness and a true nudge, you get what I'm saying!
What are the signs? What's she like, what's your impression of her personality? I wanna know everything about her.

devotee vs deity! with brigid

Painted Brigid because ofc
This is my January monthly postcard if anyone wants one btw! Sign up here before February 6th
In honor of Imbolc, here is an art study I carried out by illustrating different variations of Brighid's Cross.
A big misconception I see come up a lot is that tarot can predict the future. In a sense, it might, but it's a lot more nuanced than that.
There is no 'THE future'. There are lots of different futures and lots of different paths you could be led down, but not all fates come to fruition based on the choices we make.
Tarot should be used to gain insight and reflect on your current and alternative paths. You can't necessarily predict how something is going to go, but you can use them to look within yourself and see what might need to change to get on the path you want to be on.
This is one of the earliest things I learnt when beginning tarot, and learning this can open you up to different paths and possibilities, as well as allowing you to ask the right questions to get where you want to be.
-Brigid- Goddess of fire, healing, smithcraft; of baby animals and life itself. One of the longest running goddesses to survive and adapt to the evolving spirituality of Ireland. give my Etsy a follow to be notified when I put up limited, hand-signed prints of this piece up for sale!
BRIGID
One of the most famous figures in all of Gaelic mythology is the goddess Brigid, said to be a wise woman and a daugher of the Dagda. In the Book of the Takings of Ireland, Brigid is said to possess two oxen, Fea and Femen; the King of Boars, the Torc Triath; and Cirb, the King of Sheep; each of which have plains in Ireland that bear their name. In the Second Battle of Moytura, Brigid is the wife of Bres and the mother of Ruadán, and when Ruadán is killed by Goibniu the smith, Brigid, in her grief, establishes the first practice of keening in Ireland. The Old Irish glossary Sanais Cormaic suggests that "Brigid" was a name for all the goddesses of Ireland, but that it referred specifically to three sisters: Brigid the Smith, Brigid the Poet, and Brigid the Healer, all daughters of the Dagda. The goddess Brigid has also long been syncretized with an Irish saint of the same name, who had an abbey in Kildare, and is depicted in Gaelic folklore as the nursemaid of Jesus. Saint Brigid's origins are ultimately a mystery, but her enduring and ever-present influence have lead many to theorize that she may be a euhemerized version of the goddess. This piece features an anvil, an ollamh's staff, and healing herbs to represent the domains of Cormac's Three Brigids, as well as a Cros Bríd to represent syncretism with the Irish saint. Engraved on the anvil are Brigid's boar, sheep, and two oxen, along with tears shed for Ruadán.
Grief Blessing
Brighid of Keening, let me feel the waves of emotions. comfort me when my heart aches, join me when recalling happy memories. Brighid of the Seasons, sow seeds of hope when I need light, aid me in growing a bright future, help me to take stock of the things I harvest, give me rest when I tire in the darkest of days. Brighid of Healing, ease my mind and my soul. Brighid of Smithcraft, strengthen my mind to persevere. Brighid of Poetry, inspire me to beauty when I may not see it. As it was, as it is, as it shall ever be.
