More info here. I asked the founder about handing it over to me, just so I can have bragging rights. She said sure, as long as I don't became a cranky evil satanic cult. (founder is this really nice New Age Christian lady who I met at a Con.)

I think of the goddess as most of a collective where everything first started off in the universe. Which explains how we are all part of her. She is put into a gender by humans but I truly think that the being which we think is "almighty" or "divine" is infact our selves. How everything was created is not entirely clear but, I know things are as they are because that is how they are meant to be. I will just leave it at that.

Actually, they just call God "He" or "His" in the Bible because there is no English translation for the mixed-gender noun used to express It in Arabic. "He" and "She" can be used interchangeably when referring to God. I prefer just to say "God" or "God's".

my heritage is mostly scots and some irish and welsh.

we honor St. Brigid quite highly, she protects mariners and maidens and such.


nowadays everybody knoiws she is really a celtic goddess; the priests could not persuade people to stop worshipping her so they made her into a saint.

whatever. i still like her.

Kind of like the Guatemalans respect San Simon. He used to be a God of Trickery and now he's a saint. If you go to his "chruch" you'll find a bunch of cigarettes and alcohol at the altar, which is used to worship him.

That's really intersting; I hadn't heard of him before.

In a flip-flop of ways, some Voodoo practicioners use St. Patrick as a deity, representing the power of snakes (or something like that).
