Brigit
- Celtic Goddess of Creativity
Brigid
or Brigit is the Celtic triple goddess of poetry, smithcraft,
healing, and inspiration. Her symbol is fire. Brigid is also the
Goddess of doctors and healing and is a Celtic mother Goddess,
deeply connected to the earth and its cycles.
She
is light, and provides all the skills associated with fire, inner
healing and vital energy. Smithcrafting was seen as a sacred skill
and associated with magical powers It involved mastering the primal
element of Fire and moulding metal and fusing new shapes through
skill, knowledge and strength
The
Goddess of poetry, Brigid fulfills the function of providing artistic
inspiration and encouraging creativity.
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.
