From The Divine Feminine Oracle Deck by Meggan Matterson

 

Saint Brigid
Our Lady of Exalted Light

 

I give endlessly because the light is without end.  My soul is all I need

 

Brigid represents the elevated state of knowing that we have everything we could ever need. Bridget was born in Ireland in 453, the daughter of an enslaved, Pict woman named Brocca. Bridget's name comes from the Celtic Briganti, meaning high or exalted. It is said the moment the king witnessed Bridget's generosity, he knew she was holy and set her free.

 

Brigid shares the name of the Celtic goddess Brigid and took on many of the same attributes.  Saint Brigid’s feast day is on Imbolc. The first day of February, which is also the day that the goddess Bridget is honored. Around 480 St. Bridget founded a monastery at Kildare on the site of a shrine to the Goddess Brigid. 
There were priestesses who tended to the Goddess eternal flame, and received spiritual instruction in honoring the Goddess. St. Brigid is credited with organizing a communal and consecrated form of religious life for women on that same sacred ground. 

 

Tradition says that St. Brigid died on Imbolc in 525.  She had a female companion named Dar Lugdach  who became her successor as the Abberss of Kildare. Dar Lugdach also died on Imbolc a year later which St. Bridget had predicted.  The Abbey at Kildare that St. Brigid founded became a center of religious learning and developed into a Cathedral City. It remains famous and revered today.

 

When your soul selects her card:  Saint Brigid lived in alignment with the highest most exalted aspect of her being. She was born a slave and yet legend relates that she gave away anything she could possibly could to help those in need. Her generosity was an indication of the tremendous Inner Wealth she received from her connection to spirit. Her message to us is to reconnect to that inner fire, that eternal flame that feeds us more than anything external ever could. Read  poetry or whatever feels like sacred scriptures to your soul. Let your soul voice surface through some uncensored, automatic writing. Or let your soul guide your body through movement. 

 

Your answers right now are in releasing any attachments to personal possessions, clearing space, uncluttering your home, giving away what you don't need or someone needs more than you do. So that you have the sacred space to remember just how much you have when your soul is loud and ever present within you.

 

Soul voice meditation:  What can I clear out of my space that no longer resonates with me? 

 

Intention: I give endlessly because the light is without end and my soul is all I need.

"Imbolc is a pagan holiday celebrated from February 1 through sundown February 2. Based on a Celtic tradition, Imbolc was meant to mark the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland. The holiday is celebrated by Wiccans and other practitioners of neopagan or pagan-influenced religions. Imbolc is just one of several pre-Christian holidays highlighting some aspect of winter and sunlight, and heralding the change of seasons."

If you have the opportunity to visit the Abbey in Kildare, you may be blessed with the nuns showing you how to create a St. Brigid Cross. You may also be given their opinion of St. Patrick who in many depictions is standing on top of snakes (a symbol of the divine feminine.  This metaphorically is linked to the getting rid of the energy of the divine feminine as the snake was a sacred symbol of the power of the divine feminine.

One energetic theme for February is Transformation.

 

I recommend this offering by Lee Harris that summarizes the incoming energy for February.  We will use this podcast as the basic of our call.  

 

Lee Harris Energy Update Feb 2024

 

  

Can you surrender to the unknown and open to transformation of an aspect of yourself that is being called forward?  

Are you sensing you are here for more than you know consciously but you are stuck in an old paradigm of needing to know the plan?

 

My feeling is that it is "all hands on board" as we deepen into the powerful energy of 2024.   We can ignore that call - or we can open to it perhaps being perfectly aligned for us at this time.   

 

The challenge is our innate wanting to know what that entails.   And to move into the space of the unknowing.   To allow that spirit will never ask more of us than we are capable of.   To just take a breath and say yes and then pay attention to what shows up.   

 

Please join the call if you are finding a need to connect with others to share and perhaps get more of a sense of tactics to use moving forward.

If you begin this practice I would love to hear from you about your experience.  

I came across this sermon given by Fr. Seán O'Laoire, PhD. 

 

What fascinated me was his starting the sermon reading from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. 

 

This drew me in to listen to the whole sermon.   Some very interesting thoughts for you to ponder.

May 14-31, 2025  Pilgrimage

 

Bookings have already started  - to save your spot connect with me.  

 

The itinerary is predicted to be very similar to 2024 with some adjustments being made following the completion of the 2024 pilgrimage.  

 

One of the bonuses for those joining a pilgrimage is free access to all the book studies offered prior to the departure date.  

 

 

 

Nervous about Joining a Book Study?

If you are nervous about showing up in a book study just know that there is no judgement.  It is come as you are.   Perhaps it is a chance to speak your truth in a space that is non judgemental.  

 

Perhaps you have wisdom to share that will help others.  

 

Perhaps you will discover more of the truth of who you are as you relax in the warmth of others on a similar path.   

 

While reading the book can provide powerful insights, discussion of the information revealed in the book can massively deepen the integration of the information. It connects us to others who are on a similar journey and opens us to new perspectives. As we reconnect to the energy of the divine feminine we open more awareness or the divine within ourselves.
