OUR NORTH STARBrigid: A Symbol of Contradiction
Brigid embodies a rich tapestry of contradictory symbols and qualities. She is both a goddess of fire and a guardian of healing waters, representing the fierce and transformative power of flames and the soothing, nurturing qualities of water. Brigid encompasses both the creative spark of inspiration and the practicality required to manifest that inspiration into reality. She embodies the duality of light and darkness, representing the potential for both creation and destruction, growth and decay. Her essence encompasses contradictions such as strength and gentleness, passion and compassion, independence and communal spirit. It is within these contradictions that her true power resides, as she demonstrates that opposing forces can coexist and that embracing paradoxes leads to a deeper understanding of the world and ourselves. For the Daughters of Danu, Brigid serves as a reminder that life is multifaceted, and true wisdom lies in embracing its complexity.
