Ireland's Most Ancient Divine Goddess
About this episode
This episode explores the ancient goddess Brigid and her significance in pre-Christian Ireland, particularly in relation to the festival of Imbolc.
Long before Christianity arrived in Ireland, many goddesses and gods were worshiped, especially one very special triple-goddess associated with poetry & inspiration, healing & transformation, smithing, sacred wells, and fire. I'm so excite for this episode, especially dedicated to one of the greatest goddesses of pre-christian Ireland, and just in time for her very own festival on February 1st, the turn of the seasons. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, Sarah.💚 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:00 Ireland's Triple-Goddess, Brigid 00:01:30 February 1st & Imbolc 00:02:37 St.Brigid's recently new public holiday in Ireland, Biddies's Day 00:03:30 The Rise of the Divine Feminine 00:04:14 A tribute to Brigid 00:07:24 Kil Dara, Brigid's sacred place 00:10:44 Embodied acts to honour Brigid 00:11:20 CARE, creativity and nature 00:12:00 A ritual dedicated to Brigid Academic & Historical resources *Proinsias Mac Cana: Celtic MythologyA foundational academic overview of Celtic myth, including land goddesses and sovereignty traditions. *Miranda Green: Celtic Goddesses: Warriors, Virgins and MothersAn authoritative study of Celtic goddesses. *Dáithí Ó hÓgáin: Myth, Legend and Romance…
