RE: Brightly Burns the Flames of Inspiration - Brigids Hearth
This is a fantastic write up @skycae!
It makes me wonder, is Norse goddess "Frigg" perhaps a related (or even the same) archetype? Seems like a similar sounding name.
Hmm it does sound very similar! I like this idea. Do you know what Frigg represents?
The Tuatha de actually traveled across 'the north' to four magical cities where they gained important magical objects and skills. This seems to suggest that they are related to the northern european area I think.
Frigg is the chief goddess of the Aesir, wife of Odin, and symbolizes hearth and home, motherhood, the mature woman. Some traditions merge her into the same persona as Freya as well (and so too does Freya seem to have a similar sounding name if you consider that the consonants B and F can sometimes be interchanged and Y, G and J can replace each other in some etymological drifts.
Woah, definately sounds familure! Brigid indeed is exalted in motherhood more then in the crone or maiden stages, even though she is a triple goddess. I know Freya better by far, probably because she has called to me from my oracle card deck a lot :P
Clearly you're in touch with her, as exemplified by your thorough understanding of and ability to teach about her @skycae.
I suppose so! Its a lovely feeling being able to talk about something passionately and from the heart.
