Brigid | Free Book
Goddess, Druidess and Saint
Brigid is a mysterious figure, both goddess and saint, who is still
revered worldwide today in her different aspects. Combining early
Celtic history, archaeology and customs associated with both the
goddess and the saint, this book provides a fascinating insight into
the development of this unique mythical and historical figure. Using
the available evidence, the author suggests a date for the conception
of the deity Brigid, suggesting why and by whom she was created. He
also explains how the goddess "became" a saint and how this is
historically linked with the unification of Ireland under a High King.
The book goes on to look at how the goddess and the saint are still
venerated in today's world, such as the burning of the perpetual flame
in Ireland, relit by President McAleese in 2006.
