The Three Brigits
Brigit, Irish Goddess of Poetry, sits at the feet of her Mother of Plenty.
She calls to her sisters, Brigit of Medicine and Brigit of Smithcraft. They watch as humans emerge on Earth.
Brigit of inspiration says to them, “Humans are evolving, so I’ve blessed them with verse. What gifts do you bestow?”
Brigit of healing says, “I share my curiosity so they explore their world and themselves.”
Brigit of the forge answers, “I share my love of craft, the shaping of earthly elements.”
Mother says, “I pray they find peace and joy in our plentiful gifts before destroying them.”
