Brigit, Brigid or Bríg (/ˈbrɪ.dʒɪd/, /ˈbriː.ɪd/, "exalted one") was a goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. She appears in Irish mythology as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the daughter of the Dagda and wife of Bres, with whom she had a son named Ruadán.
It has been suggested that Brigid is a continuation of the Indo-European dawn goddess. She is associated with the spring season, fertility, healing, poetry and smithcraft. Cormac's Glossary, written in the 10th century by Christian monks, says that Brigid was "the goddess whom poets adored" and that she had two sisters: Brigid the healer and Brigid the smith. This suggests she may have been a triple deity.
Saint Brigid shares many of the goddess's attributes and her feast day was originally a pagan festival (Imbolc) marking the beginning of spring. It has thus been argued that the saint is a Christianization of the goddess.
She is identified in Lebor Gabála Érenn as a daughter of the Dagda and a poet. The same passage mentions that she has two oxen, Fe and Men, that graze on a plain named after them, Femen. She also possessed the king of boars, Torc Triath, and Cirb, king of wethers (sheep), from whom Mag Cirb is named. As the daughter of Dagda, she is also the half sister of Cermait, Aengus, Midir and Bodb Derg.

There's a tree by the well in the wood, That's covered in garlands, Clooties and ribbons that drift, In the cool morning air. That's where I met an old woman, Who came from a far land. Holding a flame o'er the well, And chanting a prayer. (Chorus) Goddess of fire, Goddess of healing, Goddess of Spring, welcome again. The told me she'd been a prisoner, Trapped in a mountain, Taken by the Queen of Winter, At Summer's end, But in her prison, she heard the spell, The people were chanting, Three days of Summer, And snowdrops are flowering again. She spoke of the Cell of the Oak, Where a fire is still burning, Nineteen priestesses tend the Eternal Flame, Oh but of you, my Lady, We are still learning, Brighid, Brigantia, The Goddess of many ...

A CELEBRATION OF IMBOLC
Imbolc is traditionally the great festival and honoring of Brigid (Brighid, Bride, Brigit), so loved as a pagan Goddess that her worship was woven into the Christian church as St Bridget. She is a Goddess of healing, poetry and smith craft. 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. Some of the symbols attributed to Brigid are: The Snowdrop. The first gift of Spring in the bleakness of Winter. The Swan. The swan mates for life and represents loyalty, fidelity and faithfulness. Swan feathers are a powerful amulet. The Flame. Imbolc is a Fire Festival and fire of all kinds is associated with Brigid - the f...

Artist: Kellianna Song: 06 - Brighid's Flame Album: Elemental http://www.kellianna.com/ Lyrics: I am the spark before the fire from winters cold I do inspire I am the promise of the Spring I am the tiniest of flames. A dancing fire upon the snow in darkest night a mighty glow I circle toward the coming spring I am all life awakening. Mid-Winters' slumber I do shake I coax the seed and bulb to wake I pull them slowly from their dreams I am the Maiden of the flame. Protecting all at time of birth In love and safety draw them forth I wrap all newborns in my light I am the Maiden dressed in white.

First of my new celtic pantheon series
I wanna dance with you this whole night
I hope the music never slows up
I hope this place don't never close up
Hold tight
'cause you're the only one who feels right
Girl I know it's now or never
I wanna dance with you forever
So hold on tight - never let me go, baby
'cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
Girl it's tearin' my emotions right in two
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
All the stars they will surround us
We will be so glad we found us
So hold on tight - never let me go, baby
'cause I can feel the rhythm of your love
And when you get yourself in motion
I get lovin' notions all for you - yes I do
Hold tight
And we will dance into the moonlight
I hope the music never slows up
