Celebration of the Imbolc St.Brigits Eve and Day 1st.February 2022

27.01.2022

St.Brigit is very ancinet Goddess of healing, poetry, and smithcraft. She is a Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth. She brings fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to midwives and new-born babies. She is the Triple Goddess, but at Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect. Her Luminous Light blesses all living sentient beings and pachama with her light, unconditional Love, protection, strength. She has been very much guardian of the Sacred wells, waters.

Im delighted to share with you about this Festival today, you may like to give it a go for the first time, Its similar to, celebrating Easter :) connect with Mother Nature, with Self, your inner and family home.

My little story :

Since I have moved to Ireland in 2001 I was blessed by her presence. She had welcome me with open arms and warmth, very much reflected in the Irish people, landscape. I visited, sat, made offerings in many Sacred wells around Ireland. Here is one picture I have found. I'm connecting with St.Brigitt at Sacred well near Liscannor, 2013. When I'm not in Ireland I make sure I'm by the water source and woods, making fire ceremony, on this day. Make my honoring ritual to Sacred waters to St.Brigit and all beautiful Souls. For me as Modern Medicne woman and healing energy guide, teacher of the healing art , it's part of my every day to live life in the Ritual, special on this heightened days. Its part of my Cloak.

LIGHT THE FIREIN HONOUR OF ST.BRIGID

There travels forth from the passages of History

A woman's voice that is heard across the plains,
That calls once more, for a people of new vision
To heal our wounds and green our Earth again,
To heal our wounds and green our Earth again.

She spreads her cloak 'cross the land and far beyond it,
A shadow cast on a people void of hope.
She speaks of Peace and the chains that weigh upon it
And there her light shall glimmer from the oak
And all that binds the people shall be broke.

So Light the Fire of God's desire
Within all hearts, let sorrows end.
So Light the Fire of God's desire
God's chosen one, Your Peace upon us send.

And wells now dry, shall issue forth with plenty
To flow upon the sad and parching earth,
To make a prayer from the hearts now tired and empty,
To call on her to bring about new birth,
To make anew the greening of the Earth.

So Light the Fire of God's desire
Within all hearts, let sorrows end.
So Light the Fire of God's desire
God's chosen one, Your Peace upon us send.

And we today need a prophet of new vision,
To lift the low - the forgotten child to heed,
To be the voice of the wounded and the weary,
To plant anew a fresh and peaceful seed
To dance the dance of God's own Blessed Bríd.

So Light the Fire of God's desire...
