#141 Brigid
original carved from mahogany
Brigid, one of the most popular Celtic Goddesses is a vast deity and can assist
her devotees with nearly any endeavor. She is depicted here as the three sisters
or three of the many aspects of this Goddess: Midwife — healer/nurturer/herbalist,
Blacksmith, keeper of fire/craftswoman/transformer
and
Poetess — bringer of wisdom/guidance/prophecy. The three who-are-one stand
on a crescent-shaped base. Symbols of her worship are hidden throughout the piece —
Brigid's cross; the flaming arrow; Brigid's
bed; the bush near her sacred wells, which are tied with prayers and wishes on
scraps of cloth, to mention a few.
Many of the names she is known by encompass the base, even one written in ogham.
