#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Brigid is according to Patricia Monaghan ("The Red-Haired Girl From The Bog") more a title than a name. The "Sublime" is a tribute to the great mother goddess, who was also worshipped elsewhere as #Eithne, #Dana & ev. #Sul. She was the central figure of the gods in the period of matriarchy, which ended in the #IronAge. And she is still today the bridge (English bridge is derived from Brigid) between the ancient faith & Christianity: here as a goddess, there as a saint.
