What is it to be a Devotee of Brigid?
It is a whole life, it is every part of life, it enters everything, whether you are aware of it or not. It starts as a small connection, a simple offering, a lightbulb going off when something in her lore makes sense of a part of your existence, and before yo

| This book is a revelation. Sometimes a sorrow, sometimes a wonder, sometimes a delight. Often, books of poetry are best (for me, at least) dipped into, one or two poems at a time, over a long period. Kitchen Hymns benefits from a much quicker reading ...more | |

“One afternoon more than thirty-five years ago I set foot on a path that changed my life. I found a name in a book – Brigit – and a brief column of text about her. A spark was kindled and I knew I wanted more. This led me to a search for information about Brigit and connection with her that has never ceased. Though my understanding of her has grown and shifted since those first few paragraphs, I remain drawn to Brigit like a lamb to its mother.”

“That's a nice song," said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.
"It's an old soldiers' song," he said.
"Really, sarge? But it's about angels."
Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.
"As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added.
"Why? It sounds cheerful."
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.”
