Brighid Crosses Brighid, Brigantia, Bride - pronounced 'Breed', or Bridey, is the Goddess associated with Imbolc, which literally means 'in the belly' referring to an early pregnancy, that is just showing, and it is true that at this time many breeds of ewes are about to give birth to their new lambs. Brighid is the Celtic Goddess of fire, blacksmiths, poetry, the hearth, spring, and healing, and she was so much loved that even the Christians, or Catholics, to be more specific, made her into a Saint and call this time Candlemas. Imbolc is celebrated around 1st -2nd February, just as faint stirrings of new life are beginning in nature. Daylight is noticeably longer than it was a few weeks ago too. Her symbol is the Brighid's Cross, and we have them in Traditional Irish reed, resin or made from fallen twigs, and upcycled wool. Hang a cross above your door or fireplace to protect your home and honour this Goddess. Say a blessing such as, "Welcome Bridey, Welcome Maiden, Goddess of Spring, as we welcome the light once more, please bless my hearth and home. So mote it be." It was customary to leave the Goddess a small offering of cakes and milk, as a thank you.I have harvested fallen twigs from the trees of the Celtic Ogham at Avalon, Glastonbury and have made them into Brighid Crosses for Imbolc 2024.
