“I will lead you home, I will guide you back, My waters will carry thee, My flame will guide thee. —“SEA SONG FROM BRÍD,” Gemma McGowan”
― Courtney Weber, Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess

“Celtic spirituality linked the number three with all things divine and so Brigid the Goddess began to appear in lore and image in triplicate form. Contemporary images of Brigid often depict her as maiden, mother, and crone, associating the three sisters with the phases of the moon: waxing, full, and waning, but this is not a correct correlation. Brigid has historically been considered a solar Deity and as three identical women of the same age, sometimes called the Three Brigid Sisters: Woman of Healing (Ban leighis), Woman of Smithwork (Ban goibnechtae), and Woman Poet (Ban fhile). In addition to being the living earth, Brigid was also seen as the living embodiment of spring.”
