Brigid: The Triple Goddess of Imbolc (Irish Mythology)

Описание: Ireland is a rugged land of pouring rain and piercing winds, and no time more so than during the cold winter months of Samhain. Luckily no matter how bleak things seem during those dark times, the light always returns to rejuvenate the land in Spring. Our ancestors gave the name 'Imbolc' to this time of rebirth, believing that the one responsible for breathing life back into the frozen lands was the Triple Goddess Brigid. Now known more often as St. Brigid, this is her original story. It is set in a time long past, when Brigid and her kin in the mythical Tuatha Dé Danann first set foot on the shores of Ireland...
