Finding out that Brigid (one of my fave goddesses ever) is a patron saint of Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, Ireland // Brighid is a pre-Christian Irish Goddess of fire, the sun, birth, creativity, healing, inspiration, wisdom, intelligence, & craft. To Catholics, St. Brighid is patron to students, poets, healers, & midwives.
