Brigindu

This is the Gaulish name of the land goddess of our ancestral lands.  She appears across the Pan-Celtic world in similar names such as Brigantia, Brigit, Brede, Ffaed, and even in modern day Ireland in the guise of St. Bridget.

The stem briga infers the meaning of something that is raised up, having an upwelling force, strength, power, and invigorating essence. (See Apple Branch, pages 148-49).

Not only is she, as a Goddess, linked to the land, she is also identified with the interests and the welfare of the community.

Brigindu provides the energy and force necessary for Lugus to accomplish his work on behalf of the community.
