Brigid, Our Patron Goddess

 

 

Beloved Brigid, Celtic Fire Goddess

-A testimony

Brigid is the powerful Celtic Goddess of fire I will tell you how it is I came to know her by fire, twice!

It was Imbolc and our coven was meeting on Saturday evening to honor the chosen Goddess Frigga since the following day we were holding a separate Goddess Temple service to honor Brigid and the Sabbat. 

Since it was February and close to Valentines Day we chose Frigga instead of the first thought of Aphrodite or Venus as our symbol of Love.

We adorned the altar with red white and pink candles, cloth and figurines’.

We placed a picture of Frigga on the altar and then went into the other room to get our coven together.

While we were “checking in” with each other the smell of smoke was wafting through the rooms to us. We ran into the other room to find flames and smoke so thick you could not tell the ceiling form the floor.

We all pulled together and ran in and out of the room extinguishing the fire and trying to get the smoke outside

The fire was contained to just the altar table and the carpet under it. Everything was burned or melted on the table, everything but the piece of paper we had printed out the picture of Frigga on and set in the middle of the table! Yes, a plain piece of paper sat in the middle of the altar engulfed in flames and did not have a single mark on it.

After everyone was calm and the room was smoke free we sat and determined that Brigid did not like us honoring another Goddess on her day and she left the picture unharmed as her note to us. The room was cleansed by fire and the day will forever be known as Brigid’s day and none others.

The next day at our Sabbat service we had a fire roaring in the fireplace and many pictures were taken. When I was putting the pictures from the day online I noticed in the pictures of the hearth and fire there was an image! There is an unmistakable image of Brigid in the flames wearing a crown/veil and all!

She had come to be there with us that Imbolc day as we honored her properly. I had never felt so moved in my whole life and so sure that the Gods/Goddess’ are here with us everyday and that they are always with us when we call upon them.

I still have and will forever hold dear to my heart the photo of Frigga with a small splatter of candle wax as the only mark of the fire and the picture of Brigid in her Imbolc flames. Brigid holds a very special place in my heart now and forever.

 

 

Goddess Card Nov. 26th

 A GREAT card for Thanksgiving!!! We could all use some peace today!!!!

Goddess Eireen – Peace- There is no need to worry, as everything is working out beautifully. Even though appearances may seem chaotic, I assure you that a higher plan is in action. This all loving power carrying you and supporting you completely.Your gratitude attracts even more blessing into your life.

  

Even when we feel bogged down by life we have to remember a few things. One we are all human so we will all experience the human qualities of over thinking, worrying, and analyzing things over and over again. This process is really not helpful, over thinking just leads us to be depressed and then leads us to feel negative and then we bring more of that into our lives. The second thing to remember is “guess what we are all here to learn, grow, and perfect our souls!” So part of the reason that we go through hardships is to do just that mission that we have all come here to do. I mean how could you perfect your soul if everything always was perfect all the time?? How would you know great joy if you never felt any pain?  How would you appreciate and love laughter if you had never shed a tear in sorrow? Third yes it is hard to be away from the Source/Goddess/God. When we are away from home that loving bond is very missed. What we have to remember is that, that love sin truly all around us, in us and with us, everyday.

 

Spend some time to day in Gratitude. Look at the positive things you have in your life and let the rest go!

 

May the love of the Goddess be with you today! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!

Goddess Card Nov. 24th

 

Goddess Pele – Divine passion – Be honest with yourself what is your heart’s true desire?

Reach out and embrace your dreams. They are just as much of a part of nature as the trees, animals and sunsets. Listen to your dreams. Don’t be afraid of your own passion, it will propel you and invigorate your life.

 

Do what you love and find ways to make money or a living doing just that. Passion comes from within the soul the deepest parts of you. Honor that part by allowing yourself to explore what that truly is for you and also allow yourself to look to that place or path and fins a way to make it your won path. Keep your mind positive and allow it to flow and work for you!

 

May the love of the Goddess be with you!!!!!!!!

Goddess Card Nov. 23

 We just saw this card last week but maybe we all need a reminder that things go with ebb and flow and the Universe provides!!!!!!!!

 

Goddess Sedna- Infinite Supply- You are supplied for today and all of your tomorrows. This is an abundant universe filled with enough for everyone.  This card is about giving and receiving and finding the balance of the two. If you only give you feel drained and if you only receive you won’t enjoy what you have.

  

Finding the balance in ones life can sometimes be a hard task to take on. Sometimes it is best to sit quietly with ourselves and find out what true balance is. In meditation you stop and listen to the silence and find the balance within. This will help you find the balance in your life. Find the ebb and flow within yourself and then you can better serve yourself, your, family and friends and the universe. Remember there is enough for us all especially if we all find the balance. Start today by saying “The universe provides for my every need”

  

The Goddess Sedna is connected to the sea, so sit by some water or do a meditation to the sounds of running water or a water fall to help you connect with this beautiful Goddess!

May the love of the Goddess Be with you!!!!!!

Goddess Blessed Nov. 19th

 Goddess Hathor – Receptivity- Allow yourself to receive. This will increase your intuition, energy, and ability to give to others. If you are feeling guilty when asking for help, or bad about receiving gifts then you are blocking your feminine energy. Your receptivity is just as natural as your giving energy.

 

Receiving allows you to give more to others. If you are only on one end of the spectrum then you are out of balance. Balance is the key to life. You need to give and receive to be in balance. Plus, you have to remember it is nice for the person that you give to, to give something back. That allows them to have give and take in the ebb and flow of life as well. It is not about keeping track or making sure you always give exactly at the same time and level. Just see to it that you receive back in a similar flow of what you give out in a way that has balance and creates a nice harmony in your life.

 

May the love of the Goddess be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goddess Card Nov. 18th

White Tara- Sensitivity- You are becoming increasingly sensitive. Avoid harsh relationships, environments, situations, and chemicals.As you purify your inner world of thoughts, actions, and intentions, it is natural that you seek purity in your outer world as well.

 

Take care of and find the balance within and without. You are not truly balanced unless your inner and outer world are in balance. That can take some work. Sometimes we are very in time and balanced in out inner world, but not our outer world and vice versa. Meaning you can be emotionally and mentally balanced,  but maybe your body is not. Maybe your body is balanced, but your spirit and your emotions are not. Take a few moments to breathe and listen to you own breath and body. What is it telling you? What is balanced and what is not? What do you need to work on? What steps will you take to make yourself balanced? Call on White Tara to help you!

 

May the love of the Goddess be with you!!!!!!

Goddess Card Nov. 17th

 

Goddess Mawu - Mother Earth- You are called upon to help with environmentalism. There is no greater cause today than giving back to your mother, and rekindling a friendship with the soil, air and water. The earth is a life force that we need to respect and take care of.

 

Mother Earth is very important to our own existence. The planet provides us with so much, it is only right that we should protect her and give back. No matter how big or small your contribution to her, she will appreciate it and treat us with kindness in return. I think the Indians had it right, they respected the earth and all of the bounty that she gives. They understand just how precious mother earth is for us all!!  Send loving healing energy to her, recycle, plant trees and flowers, clean up the park. There are many ways we can love the place that we are so lucky to live on!! People don’t take the time to appreciate her beauty. Just look at the sunsets, clouds, rainbows, mountains, oceans, lakes, and all of her beautiful landscapes. Stop to actually look at the amazing snow that is falling to the ground each flake comes down in its on miraculous little patterns. Actually watch a flower open and or bloom. See the cycles of her seasons and truly marvel at her wonder.

 

Take the time to send her love today and thank her for all the things she has provided you in this life so far!

 

May the love of the Goddess be with you always!!!!!!!
