## Resource

Long before Christianity arrived in Ireland, many goddesses and gods were worshiped, especially one very special triple-goddess associated with poetry & inspiration, healing & transformation, smithing, sacred wells, and fire. I'm so excite for this episode, especially dedicated to one of the greatest goddesses of pre-christian Ireland, and just in time for her very own festival on February 1st, the turn of the seasons. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, Sarah.💚 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:00 Ireland's Triple-Goddess, Brigid 00:01:30 February 1st & Imbolc 00:02:37 St.Brigid's recently new public holiday in Ireland, Biddies's Day 00:03:30 The Rise of the Divine Feminine 00:04:14 A tribute to Brigid 00:07:24 Kil Dara, Brigid's sacred place 00:10:44 Embodied acts to honour Brigid 00:11:20 CARE, creativity and nature 00:12:00 A ritual dedicated to Brigid Academic & Historical resources *Proinsias Mac Cana: Celtic MythologyA foundational academic overview of Celtic myth, including land goddesses and sovereignty traditions. *Miranda Green: Celtic Goddesses: Warriors, Virgins and MothersAn authoritative study of Celtic goddesses. *Dáithí Ó hÓgáin: Myth, Legend and Romance: An Encyclopaedia of the Irish Folk TraditionA well-regarded reference covering Irish gods, goddesses, and folklore. *Contact me , Sarah on my website: https://www.sarah-egan.com.com/ *Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saraheganempoweringyou/ *Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraheganempoweringyou/ *Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1odbBVLwKy2MFwSah9qqT5?si=e4dd7daa147c4716 *Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-ourselves-with-sarah/id1714608666 *LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-jane-egan/ *TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@saraheganempoweringyou…
