Brigid, Patron Goddess of Ireland
Brigid—or the Exalted One—was the Irish goddess of spring, fertility, and life. Beloved by poets, she was the master of both healing and smithing. Her holiday, Imbolc, was held on February 1st and marked the midpoint of winter. Many of Ireland’s wells and waterways were devoted to her. Brigid embodies mastery represented in the perfect balance of fire and water, symbols of the masculine and feminine, known in Eastern traditions as the yin and yang or ida and pingala. She is a triple goddess—the goddess of healing symbolised by the element of water, goddess of the alchemical force of fire, and goddess of poetry.
In Ireland, Brigid was one of the original goddesses of the Tuatha dé Danann and she was celebrated as an Ulster goddess – in ancient times, north of the River Boyne was Ulster.
