Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs about St. Brigid
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St. Brigid In Song- got any?
In 2000 I produced a book which gathered all early writings concerning Brigid for the first time along with customs, recipes, crafts, lists of relics, springs etc. A good place to begin the search for what has come down from earliest sources. It has been very well received. A good work to have on your shelf. All that is known is carefully laid out- a collection/reference.

Nothing wrong with new revelation but please, some of us do know what has come down and what has not. You can order the book from us directly (a bit quicker but we dont take credit cards Here: Click for the books

Or try Click to buy on amazonThey take credit cards...

Again why is there such an instance that brigid of kildare was some sort of goddess figure whereas patrick her contemporary no less documented is not taken to be simply some "god"- perhaps a multivalent god like the Dagda or good god....

((could it be because she was a woman and did not receive credibility?))

Unfortunately the wishful thinking of the neo pagans or neo celts can not change the knowledge of original souces.

They can believe what they will it is what they say about it that should have some relation to reality. I have nothing against neo pagans when they do not misrepresent their source material.
