Brighid seems to reveal Herself to many people randomly, in my experience, but there is always a reason behind it. This would be something worth exploring! For me, I feel like she stepped forward because of my work with my hands (crochet) and because I’m coming forward to be of service to the pagan/witch community at large via my channel, podcast, and website.
She is intense at times, but she is also a warm motherly light. If you want some recommended reading, I would suggest Morgan Daimler and Lora O’Brien, to start. Check out Brighid’s lore and history, but also sit with Her and speak with Her. I find that if I don’t make a conscious effort to speak with Her regularly, I don’t feel Her around much. As an Irish pagan myself, I’m very much about right relationship with deity, and that involves keeping up relationships just like you would with any mortal.
Brighid – As Brigit, Brigid, Brighid, or BrÃg, this Irish Goddess has been with the Irish Gods from pre-historic Ireland as one of the Tuatha Dé Danann, right through to modern Christian tradition in the form of our primary Catholic Saint. Her name is generally translated as ‘exalted one’, and she is a daughter of the Dagda. As one of the Irish Gods, she is associated with the Earraigh, the Spring (and particularly the Pagan Festival of Imbolg or Imbolc), and with fertility, and through her fire she brings healing, poetry and smithcraft. As Saint Brigid she shares many of the goddess’s associations, with a specific continuity of her sacred flame.
