Brigid Goddess

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast.
This week, we are taking a break from our Táin Mosaic series to check in with the Goddess, and Saint, Brigid. The first day of February, also known as Imbolg, has always been associated with Brigid, and commemorated in folk practice. Cloaks are hung out the evening before to catch some of her healing magic, and crosses are woven from reeds, as the first flowers are said to bud in the wake of her footsteps across the land.
Aron and Sorcha also had a conversation about this podcast, and about Brigid more generally, which we are releasing simultaneously over on Patreon.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story includes mentions of violence, death, and child death.

Thank you so much for a fantastic tale on the goddess brigid. Maybe a future tale could be on the cailleach the opposite of brigid, the winter/ creation goddess hag or witch that is aligned with time from 1 Nov to 1 Feb when brigid takes over.

Yes! Love that idea. We have 9months or so to think about that and get it out. There's so many Caileach stories to choose from, an overview would be great. In the mean time check out episode 171 & 172 for two stories about the Caileach & 173 for the conversation about her afterwards 🕯️

I feel such deep, intimate fromatatin in dog a globe for the space around it was the land itself! And this day! But rather this other day, it was was foretold my king had growled vigues ahshuckhoars with the wid wreck upon her tone tongue would not soften the gates of grooble the double of my most dandy I could not begin the flight cross weathered deckers for drobes of Migdalia Garvey so many things that stole the giver so what was received wasn’t so the enchantment that my foot ached from walking which is for the reason that I was not important enough to be hears heirs of my uncles late widows gander would cobble the wedched hands sawing the wood that indeed would grant goosebumps to a raging French kiss of lug too5les agazed a plauntaid digger would grow to know this love., this love. More that the other love as before but not so much as either of them nor I can have such love radiance fires breast milk a clothed ogle in a mighty kings wet dream.
And so it was.
