New & Shiny


Check out this lovely statue I bought yesterday for just eleven bucks at JoAnn Fabrics. She was screaming at me as I walked by. Brigid. We will both be much happier when I clip her wings.

Brigid came into my life a few years ago when I put a call out for help getting in touch with my creative side. I mean creative with my hands as in crafting art as opposed to my writing, which I don't really think of creative anyway. Brigid answered that call, but I realize now that she was already around. I walked right onto her turf when I joined my coven and she's been mostly a quiet presence since then.

The information available on Brigid is convoluted and it's difficult to sort the goddess from the saint, but my experience with her has been quiet, reserved. I feel like she's slowly revealing herself and will demand more attention as time goes by. We'll see.

I have found it to be the case with most Deities that show up for me. They were there and I just didn't see Them. She is lovely and I agree about the wings.

I love how you look beyond the original statue to make it your own - the wingless version will be perfect, my dear, I am sure. Your blog is also a great reminder to listen to the intuition - whether it be in finding supplies or in connection to deities. Cool!
