    First time viewer! Really great documentary. Brigit was also followed by the "Brigantines" in Northern England. Some surmise that the Goddess came from Scandinavia, and that "Brigit" is directly associated with the mother Goddess Isis and the first devine Goddess Inanna of the people of Sumer. The "triple" aspect of Brigit is to encompass the three phases of womanhood; which was quashed by the "holy trinity." The Culdees of Scotland were worshippers of St. Brigid. St. Brigid has several issues with the patriarchal Church, that she is a feminist power, a "divine light" (when it's supposed to be Jesus) especially the fact that she has her own cross.

    If you're watching this on the day of release, I would like to wish you all the best for Imbolc, Saint Brigid's Day, or just Saturday :)
    Coming up: A conversation-style podcast with the wonderfully talented, charismatic, and educated expert on Irish Pagan spirituality Laura Daligan, in which we will further discuss the symbolism of Brigid and what makes her so appealing to two very different traditions.
    Next essay: Gilgamesh, Noah, and the Great Flood!

    Forgive me, but a few questions arise from listening to this interesting account:-
    - there was writing in pre christian Ireland in the form of Ogham, although few could read.
    - It sounds as though Bridget might have been a member of the Nephalim or Elohim who was perhaps responsible for Ireland and that her story was carried down through the ages until the invading Christian Church sought to convert the locals to the Roman interpretation & doctrine of what they wanted the masses to believe, and so sought in incorporate the 'myths' that persisted in the region, a practice that persists to this day.
    - Fir an authority on pre & early Christian Ireland see works by Peter Berresfird Ellis.

    • @mythosandlogos
      @mythosandlogos  11 месяцев назад

      Excellent point on the Ogham! Though society wasn’t broadly literate, and those inscriptions weren’t “book-like” by any means, there absolutely was a form of writing.

      @@mythosandlogos her first words as a saint, "You cannot be the shepherd of the flock if you are the wolf that prowls". These are directed towards the other Saints and the Catholic Church, who at the time were quite horrible to pagans. She became one of the Saints because she had a vision of a future where the people of Ireland were victims of unspeakable horrors at the hand of the Church, so she became the people's and lands shield against those who would be called Saint or Holy in name alone. Due to her level of influence and her affect on the people she was reorganized into a lesser Saint so a man could be the patron saint of Ireland, because a woman cannot be more powerful than even the lowest of man.

Read God‘s word do not be deceived. God says he won’t be mocked, truly this is said with respect and reverence to my Lord Jesus Christ, He gives us all we need, thank you for your time
