Description
Celtic Autumn Moon Goddess looks deep into the wood with conviction and pride. Her season is now in full gear.
Falling leaves,bright colors have now faded and the trees are bare, preparing for the deep rest of winter.
Autumn,we start to see the waning of the Sun more obviously now as the days continue to grow shorter until the Wheel of the Year spins around again to Yule.
At the AutumnFall Equinox, the days and nights are equal. It is a time of balance, but light gives way to increased darkness.
Brigid, the Celtic goddess of fire (the forge and the hearth), poetry, healing, childbirth, and unity, is celebrated in many European countries.
At her most famous shrine Brigid taught humans how to gather and use herbs for their healing properties, how to care for their livestock, and how to forge iron into tools. As a goddess of childbirth and protector of all children, she is the patroness of midwifery.
This shrine, near Kildare, was located near an ancient Oak that was considered to be sacred by the Druids, so sacred in fact that no one was allowed to bring a weapon there.
The shrine is believed to have been an ancient college of priestesses who were committed to thirty years of service, after which they were free to leave and marry.
