Pagan Portals - Brigid
Meeting the Celtic Goddess of Poetry, Forge, and Healing Well
Morgan Daimler
Pagan Portals - Brigid is a basic introduction to the Goddess Brigid focusing on her history and myth as well as her modern devotion and worship. Primarily looking at the Irish Goddess but including a discussion of her Pan-Celtic appearances, particularly in Scotland. Her different appearances in mythology are discussed along with the conflation of the pagan Goddess with Catholic saint. Modern methods for neopagans to connect to and honor this popular Goddess include offerings and meditation, and personal anecdotes from the author's experiences are included as well.

Endorsements
"This book is a confident piece of work that is both erudite and lucid – no easy task at any time, but when handling such a complex and sensitive subject it is extremely difficult. Not only does this book succeed, it seems to me to be a model to which other writers should aspire. Its clarity and the author’s obvious enthusiasm for the subject make it a compelling read. An excellent compendium of the subject worth its place on anyone’s shelf."
Graeme K. Talboys, author of The Way of the Druid
