Brigid, the 'Exalted One', was first mentioned in the 9th century Cormac's Glossary as a pre-Christian triple goddess, represented by fire, healing and fertility. She was a member of the Tuatha de Danann and daughter of Dagda, Irish God of Druidism, and worshipped by ancient Celts. She is associated with the Imbolc festival celebrated on February 1st, and is believed to be the direct inspiration for the Catholic Saint Brigid of Kildare. Brigid is still worshipped in the Pagan community, with offerings of milk, honey and crystals being the most popular means by which to connect with her.
