Three lights are of Brighid: firelight, twilight, and starlight.

Three lights are of Brighid: the light in the home, the light in the mind, the light of truth.

Three lights are of Brighid: the light of the hearth, the light of realization, the light of hope.

Nina Simone - Wild Is The Wind (Original). Song composed by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin

“...You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me All things to me Don't you know you're Life itself...” I hear this song almost as conversation between me and Brighid, as I cry out to her.

Thank you, Lady.

Random question. I shave my head bald. Usually, I change my hairstyle quite frequently, but I haven't been able to since I started shaving because there's just something holding me back. When I first started shaving it I felt like I was closer to Brigid, and the feminine earth energies. Today when I shaved it I looked in the mirror before I started and the phrase "I'm doing this for you Brigid" popped into my head. Could it be that Brigid wants me to keep my head shaved? And if so, why?

It’s entirely possible. Why, though? I’m not sure on that. My suggestion is that you reflect upon your relationship with Brighid, and ask why she might ask such a thing of you.To my knowledge, there’s no association of the goddess or Saint Brighid with shorn hair or baldness. A couple of mentions in the Carmina Gadelica (a collection of Scottish folk traditions) have her as “Brigid of the twining hair”, and mention that in Brigid’s Eve celebrations, young women appear with their hair unbound. Of course, there are the stories of St. Brigid as a nun, though– and nuns typically have their hair cut short, or shorn off, to show that they are not available for marriage and that they have renounced worldliness and luxury.In her roles as poet, healer, and metal worker, I see Brighid often as a worker of transformation. She takes and gives, and often what she takes away is returned in what she has given back, though it is very changed.

The fact that “something [is] holding [you] back” from changing your hairstyle from its current shaved state sounds like Brighid could have a task for you to do, or an idea she wants you to confront, before you proceed.Good luck. Let us know how things proceed.

Read the New Testament in 28 Days

A friend of mine decided to increase his uptake of the word of God and started a plan to read the entire New Testament in three months. It got me thinking about Bible reading plans and some of the pro’s and con’s of different plans. Much more pluses than the minuses by the way. Personally, I have benefitted from many different plans over the years. So, here’s an idea to jump start your Bible…
