“It is said that by repeating the genealogy of Brigid, you will always be protected.

"This is the geneology of the holy maiden Bride,

Radiant flame of gold, noble foster mother of Christ,

Bride, daughter of Dugall the Brown*,

Son of Aodh, son of Art, son of Conn,

Son of Crearer, Son of Cis, son of Carmac, son of Carruin,

Every day and every night

That I say the genealogy of Bride,

I shall not be killed, I shall not be harried,

I shall not be put in a cell, I shall not be wounded,

Neither shall Christ leave me in forgetfulness.

No fire, no sun, no moon shall burn me,

No lake, no water, nor sea shall drown me,

No arrow of fairy nor dart of fay shall wound me

And I under the protection of my Holy Mary

And my gentle foster-mother is my beloved Bride." (1)”
