Dr. Karen Ward joins us today as we chat about Ireland’s Saint Brigid who is just as rooted in celtic folklore as she is steeped in Catholic tradition. Who was Brigid really? Karen walks us through the journey of a woman who was both the saint of poems, midwifery, Ale and blacksmithing and who was also a fire goddess. The mythology of Brigid is vast and invitational and in these troubled times we are all invited to delve into the story of a woman who became a symbol for new life springing forth in the darkness of the midwinter. As we journey through Brigid’s Path in this hopeful episode, may we each be imbibed with her spirit of resilience and transcendence and remember that we too have the eternal flame within us that can never be extinguished.
Cool stuff we mention in this episode (or meant to anyways)
