This book contains stories, spells, rituals, and recipes celebrating the worldwide influence of the beloved Celtic goddess Brigid, with contributions from Laura Tempest Zakroff, Courtney Weber, and many others.

Brigid bridges us from winter to spring. She is honored by St. Brigid's Day on the First of February each year, which is also Imbolc, the halfway point between the Midwinter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. Her day marks the first day of Spring in Ireland, and most certainly the very first stirrings of Spring. Once a goddess with a narrow territory, Brigid is now an internationally beloved presence. Venerated in many forms including as a saint and a goddess, Brigid has traveled the globe alongside the Celtic diaspora.

This anthology celebrates this ancient and mysterious Celtic spirit. While acknowledging her origins, this book also explores Brigid from the perspective of those outside her original Celtic homeland. Editors Cairelle Crow and Laura Louella have gathered art, poetry, stories, spells, rituals, recipes, and traditions as an homage to Brigid’s magic and lore, especially among the descendants of immigrants to the Americas.
