Brigs of the Judgements
Brigs of the Judgements:
Kim McCone points out that “The names Brig and Brigit were prone to interchangeability in early Irish sources…” Some are referred to as goddesses, but others are unproven candidates – women named Brig who may or may not be divine. Lisa Bitel reminds us that the story of Saint Brigit became complicated as her popularity spread. More children were named Brigit, more

| What a very good book. It works as a story of self-growth and struggle, of grief, of love, of community and connection and the gifts of our ancestors. It works as a love story (though a painful one as that self-growth was working its way through), as ...more | |

| Well written and has its strengths, so I didn't regret (entirely) reading it, but it is so painfully filled with misogyny and patriarchy that I would not have read it through, but for our book club. ...more | |

I've just finished reading The Dragon Prince - Stories and Legends from Vietnam. I like reading the odd folk tale but I don't enjoy reading whole books of them. This time was different. Each story drew me in more than I expected, and as I read more an ...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.”
