Was looking at Dieties last night and Brigid stood out during meditation session. I lit her an orangešÆļøcandle (because I didnāt have red) and brewed some herbal tea for her as an offering. She came to me after I casted a circle of protection before I read the Tarot. I love anything with flames and especially camp fires and fireplaces. I can just sit for hours staring at it. While I meditated I felt this enormous heat and warmth. ( Not hot but soothing and comforting, like a nice, warm bath) Was just such a comforting experience.
Has anyone else worked with her? Anything else I should do? I waited until the candle blew out on its own . Stayed up reading while it burned out. Also wondering, how long should I leave the cup of tea by her candle? I donāt have a printer at the moment but plan on getting one soon so I can start printing images as well as my BOS.
Also been working on my portable altar and discovered that large clam shells work great as candle holders.( Had frozen stuffed clams for dinner last night and noticed how pretty they were. The heat created a beautiful color on the inside. Said to myself , āI can reuse these!ā ) Iāve only tried the votives on them, but Iām certain I can use 4 in ones as well. The best part about them is they donāt get hot to the touch. Thinking may paint some sigils on the outside. However donāt want to paint the inside, way too pretty!
Megan hasnāt been active in the forum lately as sheās working on her own projects. But I know she is a skillful crocheter and I understand that offerings to Brigid should be more practical than anything else. Knitting, crocheting, weaving, baking, or handiwork of any kind are a good idea. For example:
I would advise you to approach her with love and gentleness. Never be afraid! Brigid know whatās going on and itās up to you to worship her as she deserves. Whatever you need to know, sheāll teach you and guide you. Even if sheās not right for you, sheāll let you know.
I think itās a great sign in your path that you have found your deity! Keep at it!
@Francisco, while browsing through dieties and watching the videos of different ones- it was her that appealed to me. I read the devotional prayer and than decided to invoke her. But, the meditation was intense and I believe I truly felt her! (Just hoping it wasnāt my imagination coming to conclusions but actually feeling her presence) And I wasnāt afraid, I felt this inmense calmness, warmth and love. Like I was in a ball of fire, however it didnāt burn- just such a warmth sensation. I actually hugged myself and felt cradled, protected.
Thank you for all the great advice! I will definitely research her and see where it leads.
Youāve found a beautiful connection with Brigid, @walter- congrats!
I am loving your creative candle holders- youāre right! Those shells work perfectly, and your setup looks amazing I think adding sigils to them is a great idea! You might consider using symbols from the Irish Tree Language- Ogham. Good luck and enjoy!
@BryWisteria, thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Just moving as I go and becoming more confident as I learn where this path leads meā¦I will check out the sigils.
@kira-marie, just a regular mediative state. Lit, my altar candles, casted a protection circle, searched Spells8 section on dieties. Went through them all, but Brig, was the one who stood out , or I was drawn too. I Lit her an orange candle because I didnāt have red. Brewed some herbal tea for her as well as Jasmin incense. ( All this I got from the information I read on dieties.) Continued to recite her prayer and just felt/experienced everything I wrote about.
@Amethyst - ANYTHING written by Morgan Daimler is going to be fairly accurate and a great representation of deity - or mythology in general - in a modern and historical context. Theyāre a go-to for research and information in Irish paganism.
@christina4 - Iām trying to be life has gotten chaotic, but Iāve been lurking around! Just havenāt been able to sit down and properly respond to anyone lately.
@walter - It definitely sounds like youāve found a wonderful connection to Brighid I second everything that Francisco mentioned above in regard to offerings. I also like to offer fresh water or, if I ever get the chance, She really seems to like good whiskey
So perhaps a silly question but is it customary to only work with one deity? Iāve felt a connection to Hecate but for some odd reason I havenāt invoked her yet. As stated in a previous post I did the Road Opener spell and since then keep thinking about Cernunnos.
Iād like to do an invocation but Iām unsure of which to do one for.
Iāve been discovering the deities and I learned about Cernunnos a couple weeks back, but Hecate was the first one I began learning about.
Iām probably over thinking it, but appreciate any insight.
Blessed Be,
Keep at it!

I still show my support
