My
Brigid Goddess Design is a composite
of the Celtic cross and the body of the goddess. The Celtic cross
is a combination of the circle (yoni) and the cross (phallus)
which symbolizes the balance of male/female energies. Celtic Goddesses
were often mother goddesses, deeply connected to the earth and
its cycles. The composite of these two symbols represents the
union of male and female within the body of the earth.
