BRIDGID
Inspiration
Let me come to you
through the mists
through the fire
through the plants
through the deep flowing wells
with ideas
visions
words
Music beyond the tips of your ears
Let me move you
enliven you
stimulate you
till your perspective shifts
and your mind/body/sprit explodes
and you are left standing
in the wake of what has been revealed
and life feels very sweet
Bridgid ( pronounced bridge'id ) which means "bright" is a Celtic
tripple goddess of fire: the fire of inspiration, smithcraft, potery, healing,
and divination. Her inspiration was vital to the Bards ( Poets ) who called upon
her freely. Ledgend says that Bridgid was born with a flame reaching out from
the top of her head, connecting her with the universe. The new ( Christian ) and
the old ( Pagan ) Bridgid were into St. Bridgid in AD 450 St. Bridgid, daughter
of a Druid, was a goldsmith and healer. Nineteen priestesses/nuns guard her
sacred fire in Kildare, Ireland. On the twentieth of each month it is said she
appears and tends it herself.
