Brigid Quotes

“Yea, she hath passed hereby, and blessed the sheaves,
And the great garths, and stacks, and quiet farms,
And all the tawny, and the crimson leaves.
Yea, she hath passed with poppies in her arms,
Under the star of dusk, through stealing mist,
And blessed the earth, and gone, while no man wist.

With slow, reluctant feet, and weary eyes,
And eye-lids heavy with the coming sleep,
With small breasts lifted up in stress of sighs,
She passed, as shadows pass, among the sheep;
While the earth dreamed, and only I was ware
Of that faint fragrance blown from her soft hair.

The land lay steeped in peace of silent dreams;
There was no sound amid the sacred boughs.
Nor any mournful music in her streams:
Only I saw the shadow on her brows,
Only I knew her for the yearly slain,
And wept, and weep until she come again.”
― Frederic Manning

― Courtney Weber, Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess

“While Brig was spirit of many things, she was primarily the green earth itself. This should not be confused with being a Goddess “of” the earth. Brig was not a caretaker or steward. The earth was alive and cognizant. Brig was its spirit and the soil, rocks, hills, and rivers were her body.”
― Courtney Weber, Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess

“Celtic spirituality linked the number three with all things divine and so Brigid the Goddess began to appear in lore and image in triplicate form.”
