Today is IMBOLC! Imbolc is the feast day of Brigid, 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. She is associated with wisdom, poetry, healing, protection, smithing and domesticated animals. Brigid's cross is a small variant of the cross often woven from straw or rushes. My artwork depicts Brigid's cross with some added Celtic flare to it. All of the variations of my Brigid's Cross artwork in this post are available on prints and apparel at celtichammerclub.threadless.com ➖ #celtichammerclub #brigid #brigit #brid #irishgoddess #goddess #irish #ireland #irishmythology #imbolc #feastofbrigid #brigidfeastday #candlemas #irishart #celt #celtic #celticart #celticknot #cross #brigidcross #brgidscross #art #originalart #spring #springforward #springiscoming #saintbrigid #irishsaint #saintsofireland #ancientireland https://www.instagram.com/p/CoISSV_L6mA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brigid / St. Brigid: English Version

With your touch

I find relief

from suffering,

and I heal from my pains.

With your fingers

you create treasures

from the dust of the earth

and the flames of the forge.

With your hands

you tell stories of distant lands,

and give voice to the soul.

With your prayer,

clear as water,

you take me to heaven

with a serene soul

and maternal love,

while you place in my hands

a straw cross.

Poem (C): Me

Ruth Sanderson (1951) (C): “Illustration”
