Before independence was signed into parchment, before fire meant fireworks, there was Brigid. A goddess of flame and fertility, later recast as a saint to soften her power. But her story, and her sacred fire, never went out.
In this debut episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we travel back to pre-Christian Ireland to remember Brigid, the women who kept her flame alive, and what it means to reclaim a legacy that was never meant to survive. This is a tale of quiet rebellion, sacred fire, and the feminine power they tried to erase.
Featuring poetic storytelling, ancestral lore, and a modern reflection for July 4th.
Bonus deep dive available on Patreon, Whispers Beneath.
