Brigid, or the ‘’Exalted One’’, was the Irish goddess of the poetic arts, crafts, prophecy, divination, spring, fertility, and life. The equivalent of the Roman goddess Minerva; Brigid was beloved by poets, bards and artists. Even well into the Christian era, Irish writers credited Brigid as their inspiration. Her holiday, Imbolc, was held on February 1st and marked the midpoint of winter. Many of Ireland’s wells and waterways were devoted to her.
