We need more bridges of peace, unification, and compassion during such divisive times in our world today, am I right?

Brigid, a spiritual figure associated with both a pre-Christian goddess and Irish saint, can be seen as a bridge during such troubling times.

And today, Brigid's Day and Imbolc is a reminder of the importance of the values of generosity, unity, compassion, and justice.

There is something very special about the spirituality surrounding Brigid's Day in the nourishing community events, reflective rituals, songs, pilgrimage walks, weaving the crosses, or making new plans to be the change we wish to see in the world.

Every year I feel called to do something in my own corner of the globe to share about Brigid, the values of peace, justice, sustainability, and generosity she represents, lead workshops on Celtic spirituality complete with teaching the well known song, "Gabhaim Molta Bhride," show people how to weave a St. Brigid's cross or make some to share with others...

Sometimes, I don't expect to take on new ways to connect about Brigid, but each year I become overtaken with some new activity, lol.

From 2008-2010, I went on a special journey to explore the values of Brigid, the powerful spiritual figure and how ritual practices, including the usage of songs and chants bring meaning to those who participate. The journey still continues to this day.

So, this year, I was inspired very spontaneously to put together an audiobook based on this research that I conducted over 15 years ago. I mean, I have a full schedule and the motivation and the time to do this seemed to come out of nowhere! Brigid inspires us sometimes in ways that we don't expect!

I'll be offering this audiobook for a limited time this month in the spirit of inspiration, wonder, and awe in how the figure of Brigid has captured people's imagination, the practices surrounding her, and how these contemporary ritual and musical experiences can be so nourishing during such divisive times.

Ultimately, let this be an invitation in how we can feel a sense of unity in practices that work for us, which affirm kindness, generosity, care of the land, each other, and is inclusive of all of us!

Send me a message and I'll be happy get the details to you on how you can take a listen for yourself!

So happy to received this beautifully revised edition of the Brigid of Ireland guide book by Sr Rita Minehan just over a week ago!

It has been exactly 20 years ago when I ordered her original book. Since then, it has been signed by Sr Rita and been through through many journeys, including an Irish rain shower!

Anyone else is feeling this shift right now? Wow, they hit the nail on the head with this one! What do you think?

Everything you're feeling right now is the end of a cycle.

It's not chaos.
It's closure.

The exhaustion.
The loss.
The crumbling.

It's your Soul cleaning the slate.

2025 is the Completion Year.
A 9 year cycle is ending.
And everything not meant for your next chapter is dissolving.

You're not falling apart.
You're falling into alignment.

The people leaving? The plans collapsing?
The silence where there used to be noise?
All sacred timing.

You're being emptied, not punished. Prepared.
Completion has a frequency, and if you're feeling the unravelling, you're right on time.

Let yourself shed. Let it all dissolve.
Only then can your new timeline begin.

The old world is ending.
The new world is ready.
Step through!

There’s a frequency to completion. If you’re feeling the unraveling, you’re right on time.
Let the old dissolve. Let yourself shed.
A new chapter, a new timeline, a new version of you is waiting on the other side of this breath.

Hey all 👋🏽

Often Brigid is associated with so many values of goodness, but I know of an interesting podcast that also bears the variant form of her name:

The Bad Bridget Project

This project explores the lives of criminal and deviant Irish women in North America between 1838 and 1918.

It is now a very successful book, podcast, museum exhibition and a movie is currently being made as well.

You can read about it here: https://badbridget.wordpress.com/

Season 2 just dropped!

Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, this project led by Leanne McCormick (Ulster University) and Elaine Farrell (Queen’s University Belfast) focuses on the criminal and deviant Irish girls and women in Boston, New York and Toronto from 1838 to 1918. In year 2, Leanne Calvert was ap...
