Gather at the hearth of ancient Ireland, where goddess and saint share one flame. This meditation explores Brigid—pre-Christian deity of poetry, healing, and craft, and later Christian abbess of Kildare—through the imagery of a quiet spring fire that has warmed Irish hearts for millennia.
Through slow breathing and the steady glow of hearth light, discover the warmth that sustains rather than overwhelms. Let Brigid's associations with Imbolc's first lightening, the sacred forge, and the eternal flame tended by her community teach you about inner strength, creative renewal, and the power of what quietly continues.
Perfect for: Reconnecting with your creative source • Finding steadiness in scattered times • Discovering the warmth that helps you endure
Historical context: Tuatha Dé Danann mythology, Imbolc festival traditions, St. Brigid of Kildare, the perpetual flame of Kildare monastery, early Irish hagiographies
Running time: ~8 minutes
