Very belated Imbolc ’s lá fhéile Bríde shona daoibh! The start of February marks the festivity of Imbolc, the beginning of Spring in the Celtic calendar, and it is celebrated in Ireland as Brigid’s Day 🎶☀️🍃 . Two more edits (coming to the end of this shoot!) of my 2019 closet cosplay/reenactment of the Irish goddess Brighid, solar fire goddess associated with poetry and inspiration, fertility and healing, smithwork, crafts and music, and warlike protection. She’s one of my favourite goddesses in one of my favourite cultures. One of these edits focuses on her protective warlike aspect ⚒️ . My Brigid reenactment posts

Late 14th Century-early 15th Century damask cottehardie with linen chemise (comissioned), tablet-woven silk fillet (comissioned), decorative veil beaded with faux pearls (by me), leather embossed belt and purse (comissions), at a Tolkien convention back in 2019. Featuring Tarmaerika and DarkSapiens.

The hairstyle is a typical 14th Century style with double 3-strand braids coiled around the ears and crossed over the head to be gathered at the nape of the neck. I used 2 open pins which are very similar to those used back then, as well as a wool burgundy and moss green paranda braided with my hair to add thickness and colour to the style.
