Brigid: Celtic Goddess or Christian Saint?

[@thedabbinunicorn5432]

As both an Irish Christian & Celtic Irish girl this was amazingly told & very informative... made me love my heritage all the more ❤️

Thanks so much! Best wishes.

Deep gratitude to you for this gentle, respectful, measured presentation of Brigid. A lovely part of my celebration! Brigid Bless!

[@mythosandlogos]

Thank you, Brigid Bless!

[@steve29roses]

First time viewer! Really great documentary. Brigit was also followed by the "Brigantines" in Northern England. Some surmise that the Goddess came from Scandinavia, and that "Brigit" is directly associated with the mother Goddess Isis and the first devine Goddess Inanna of the people of Sumer. The "triple" aspect of Brigit is to encompass the three phases of womanhood; which was quashed by the "holy trinity." The Culdees of Scotland were worshippers of St. Brigid. St. Brigid has several issues with the patriarchal Church, that she is a feminist power, a "divine light" (when it's supposed to be Jesus) especially the fact that she has her own cross.

[@mythosandlogos]

Welcome, and thanks for such a thoughtful comment! You draw some very interesting connections.

[@MGQ888]

I appreciate the clearly expressed views from both sides. Oral tradition and written tradition on this fascinating subject. I now want to return to Ireland and visit St. Briget sites. Thank you.💚 🇮🇪🤍

[@mythosandlogos]

I hope that you have a lovely time along Brigid’s Way :)

[@MythologywithMike]

Wow you went really in depth with this analysis on Brigid. Great job man! It's certainly not an easy subject to research but you delivered it very well and concisely! I'm slowly binging all your videos and I'm liking each one I watch!

[@mythosandlogos]

Thank you, that’s an honor to hear! Fantastic work on the Bacchae, by the way!

[@MythologywithMike]

@@mythosandlogos Thank you! I really liked making the Bacchae video and can't wait to do more videos based on Greek Myths in the future!

Beautiful video❤ As the Wheel turns we welcome the Goddess to wake from Her winters sleep.❤ Thank you for sharing Her story.

I am so glad that this resonates :)

[@vevethrocha7183]

So well done! And very respectful with/for both traditions.

[@mythosandlogos]

Thank you! That is my goal, that this can be useful and inspiring for anyone, no matter their background. I’m happy to know that the message of respect carried over for you :)

[@vevethrocha7183]

@@mythosandlogos Really thanks. I will see other videos of you. I’ve just met your channel. But do you have a video about Mary of Magdalene’s tradition in England? I mean, we have her in the Evangile and then in the French tradition that tells she has lived (and died) in France but I’ve heard there is another one, in Great Britain. Do you know something about it? Thanks four your attention.

[@mythosandlogos]

That is very interesting, and I’ll need to do some research into that. Thanks! I speak French also, can you recommend any sources in either language?

[@Randy-1967]

Goddess, the human woman Brigid known as a saint did not exist, the church did this A LOT , took pagan deities and made them saints, sometimes it was the only way they could get people to convert

[@jyothifernandes4190]

thank you so much. first time i am listening and watching the video on Celtic goddess and St. tBrigid of Kildare. from India. very much interesting and new information too.

So grateful for this

[@tremainecornish2977]

Forgive me, but a few questions arise from listening to this interesting account:- - there was writing in pre christian Ireland in the form of Ogham, although few could read. - It sounds as though Bridget might have been a member of the Nephalim or Elohim who was perhaps responsible for Ireland and that her story was carried down through the ages until the invading Christian Church sought to convert the locals to the Roman interpretation & doctrine of what they wanted the masses to believe, and so sought in incorporate the 'myths' that persisted in the region, a practice that persists to this day. - Fir an authority on pre & early Christian Ireland see works by Peter Berresfird Ellis.

[@mythosandlogos]

Excellent point on the Ogham! Though society wasn’t broadly literate, and those inscriptions weren’t “book-like” by any means, there absolutely was a form of writing.

[@TheNoblot]

the ancient druids understood, the Christian put it into words. however the druids felt the goddess while the Christians hide it . mind & words: entangle into meanings without words.🤔 as love is 💞 a sharing of minds. words a description of ⌚

[@mythosandlogos]

A very interesting view on things, thanks for sharing :)

[@WAITINGBEFORETHELORDWAY]

Very interesting: the victory of inner silence

[@mythosandlogos]

A great catch; there is something special about the quiet, internal life.

[@Naptimehyena]

That conclusion was very beautiful. Bravo.

Great video about brigid. She's my favorite saint/goddess. I really like the message of coexistence and walking side by side. It doesn't matter whose right, what matters is that we all live right and treat each other with respect.

For some weird reason this all resonates with me.

[@mythosandlogos]

I’m happy to hear that :) You might be interested in Laura Daligan’s content! She’s a modern witch with a particular devotion to Brigid - she helped me quite a bit in researching this, and we actually did a podcast together on the symbols of Brigid in both a Christian and Pagan context!

[@danyellerobinson5940]

We were introduced in a dream. So, of course, I had to learn her story. My introduction to Animism was through Indigenous American relatives. Seems they had much in common with my Irish-Scot relations.

[@theherbalsanctuary811]

Thank you. this was a great insight. very well done. gave me much to think on as I explore my Irish roots deeper.

Nice opening story and maybe your not being factual in timing of events but Beltane is always May 1st and Easter always falls in late March or early April.

Thank you. Im occasionally suspicious of the other girl named Brigid.

[@Samcara]

Saint or Goddess : Yes

[@mythosandlogos]

Multiple traditions, both beautiful and surprisingly harmonious!

[@wilfredoadames8201]

This was so awful nice and appropiate mainly at this time we ate living where hypocritical blasphemy is being brandished as a tool for genocide, before which many Irish, many Irish women, are showing face for the honor of many of us who cannot make ourselves heard in the way we would like to. This was very delicate.

Hello and thank you for joining in this study of the figure of Brigid, so important to both Ireland's Pagan and Christian traditions! If you're watching this on the day of release, I would like to wish you all the best for Imbolc, Saint Brigid's Day, or just Saturday :) Coming up: A conversation-style podcast with the wonderfully talented, charismatic, and educated expert on Irish Pagan spirituality Laura Daligan, in which we will further discuss the symbolism of Brigid and what makes her so appealing to two very different traditions. Next essay: Gilgamesh, Noah, and the Great Flood!

[@carolyndavis2104]

There is no fear here I just see a lack of biblical knowledge we are to bow our knee to worship and reverend to no one other than the father, the son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. this puts me in mind of Paul on Mars Hill And numerous other times throughout his epistles and others, where they say, do not be deceived and be not ignorant concerning Satan‘s ways of using Vain, philosophies and fables, the mere fact that supposed Christian knowledge of this pagan Goddess has further the worship of her shows it’s wrong and evil practice respect for someone who is a godly person, is one thing making pilgrimage, and all these other rituals and worship Ceremonies have and are deceiving and robbing the kingdom of God of His true worship and honor and giving it to another deity as she has been made out to be this is terribly ungodly and unscriptural. Read God‘s word do not be deceived. God says he won’t be mocked, truly this is said with respect and reverence to my Lord Jesus Christ, He gives us all we need, thank you for your time
