Pen and ink and watercolor. Saint Brigid died at Kildare around 525 and was buried in a tomb before the high altar of her abbey church. After some time her remains were exhumed and transported to Downpatrick to rest with the two other patron saints of Ireland, Patrick and Columba (Columcille). That she shares both her name and her feast day with those of the earlier pagan goddess Brigid may indicate that Saint Brigid is partially or entirely a fictional creation based on the pagan figure in order to convert Celts to Christianity; the euhemerization of pagan figures and tradition was a common practice of Christian missionaries. However she may merely have been named after her. I used a photo of my grandmother as the model for Saint Brigid’s face.

Someone actually faved this piece today on dA (despite the fact it’s a few years old now) to their ‘Pagan’ Collection. Though most definitely a christian symbol the cross is believed to have have originated frrom the pagan sunwheel…. It is a symbol associated with Brigid of Kildare whose feastday is celebrated on February 1st… which coincidentally is also the feastday of Brigid The pagan Godess of fire and signifies the beginning of Spring. The cross is an unofficial but very significant symbol in Irish Culture and is commonly woven from reeds

As one of the most popular goddesses worshipped by the Celts, Brigid (pronounced Breed or Breet) continues to be a favorite among Christians as many of her stories and myths survived in the persona of Saint Bridgit. She was the goddess of all things perceived to be of relatively high dimensions such as high-rising flames, highlands, hill-forts and upland areas; and of activities and states conceived as psychologically lofty and elevated, such as wisdom, excellence, perfection, high intelligence, poetic eloquence, craftsmanship (especially blacksmithing), healing ability, druidic knowledge and skill in warfare. An object connected to the goddess called Brigid’s Cross, made of rushes or straw, and woven into a kind of star or cross shape. It was traditionally believed that a Brigid’s Cross protected the house from fire and evil. Brigid’s crosses are associated with Brigid of Kildare, who is venerated as one of the patron saints of Ireland. The crosses are traditionally made on 1 February, which in Gaelic is called Là Feille Brìde (Brigid’s feast day), the day of her liturgical celebration. I used the Whirlpool Galaxy as the reference for this painting. I found the spiraling arms of the galaxy an echo of the arms of Brigit’s Cross, and all the fiery stars being creating within the arms, an adequate representation of the different qualities of this powerful goddess.

Celtic knotwork has always fascinated me – this particular work was inspired by Brigid, as this is the energy which was focused upon while creating ~ as she is the ruler of poetry and inspiration, the goddess of smithcraft, as well as healing and medicine. Pronounced ‘breed’, her name means “bright one” or “bright arrow” to the Celts. / The interlaced patterns with their unbroken lines symbolize humankind’s pilgrimage, both as a quest to return to our divine source and our spiritual growth as we move along in the quest. The pattern is to be mentally unraveled, which, while occupying the mind with a repetitive task, creates a deeper concentration enabling us “to see.” In this it is akin to the use of a mantra or rosary beads. / This design was a sketch photographed and painted in photoshop7 with the Redfield plug-in fractilius filter.

Goddess Brigid

Brigid is one of my favorite Celtic Goddesses. She is the goddess of the home and hearth, inspiration, poetry, smithcraft, and healing. As a solar deity her attributes are light, inspiration and all skills associated with fire. Although She might not be identified with the physical Sun, She is certainly the benefactress of inner healing and vital energy. In my depiction of Brigid, the Gaelic above her head translates as “Have a fire of your own”. Brigid serves as a reminder to keep your own inner fire alive and thriving!
