The present my dad got me for Christmas, a statue of Brigid. Brigid is a goddess associated with keeping the hearth and home cozy and welcoming as well as making everyday magic through culinary and medicinal cooking. She is also associated with poetry and smith craft, and therefore, fire and the new beginning represented by spring are common symbols of hers. Brigid is Celtic in origin, but has come to light the hearths and homes of many cultures and faiths: She is a historic and modern Pagan goddess, a Christian saint, and one of the loa in voodoo. She is known as Brigid, Brigit, Brigantia; Bride, Maman Brigitte in her loa form, and by many other names. I’m so excited to have this representation of her in my kitchen! Welcome, bright lady. #Yule2021 #Christmas2021 #BrigidCelticGoddess #Wicca #KitchenWitch #CelticDeities https://www.instagram.com/alicianyblade/p/CX7VJXIJ3mG/?utm_medium=tumblr
