This was great thanks for posting.

Her connection to poetry as 'Bríg' is related to 'Bricht' meaning incantation, charm or spell - all using poetry. Bríg can also mean the understanding of words and sayings like the kennings or hidden meaning of the poets which was used in Ogham kennings. Her name is also connected to the 'virtue' or 'force' of medicine which also used incantations and spells. Her death/kenning aspect is retained in Voodoo as Maman Brigitte.

I loved the color coded comparison you did of the ways she's described in different texts. Really well presented information. Thank you

Hello Mrs. Hughes!! Thank you for all your videos, I'm somewhat of a silent observer, but I was wondering if you had any videos on the "creation stories" of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, or English; or of a similar nature, like the Tuatha De Danaan story not necessarily being a creation story but a story that tries to give light to the beginnings of the land and the people that lived there. I just was thinking that I know so little about it, but it might just be that I don't know what to look for. Thank you so much again, many blessings to you!!! 🙏💗🌷

Excellent video! I love the windchimes in the background. ♥ I'm curious if you have heard much about Elen of the Ways? I've personally found myself quite stumped when trying to talk to folks in the Celtic pagan circle about her, as from what I can tell, Elen of the Ways is an entirely manufactured goddess in the modern era. However, she has a lot of devout followers stemming from the original book written about her by Elen Sentier, who named the goddess after herself, seemingly. I read her book and while there is interesting discussion about deer symbology throughout the ages, the more research I did it seems like Elen of the Ways is completely fabricated. I'm curious if you have done any research about this "goddess" and if you have any thoughts to share. I've seen people on facebook talking about how Elen is the most ancient goddess on earth and such things, which seem to be bologna. It came to mind hearing you talk about sources and such with regards to Brigid. Thank you!

I have heard that Brigit was a goddess who reigned over the spring and summer months and that in some stories her mother the Cailiach bheara (pardon me if I misspelled this) was her mother who ruled over the fall and winter months winter is their any truth to this?

I have an essay about the Goddess Bridge and this was super helpful!
