She is known by many names, Brighid, Bride, Brigit, Brigantia, Brigid and Bridey to name but a few. She is a very popular goddess in Ireland, Scotland and England and in parts of Europe. She was so popular in Ireland that she became a saint.

She is the goddess of healing, poetry, divination and smithcraft and Imbolc is her festival.
