I began research­ing Brigid for my artwork 15 years ago. Needless to say, the wealth of infor­mation to be found has increased dramat­ically since then — thanks (of course) to the internet. I had always intended to share the infor­mation and get some back and forth dialog going, promote what others are doing in this area, and possibly exchange links. The saint and goddesses each has her own section (see right).
