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.
