This song touches on stories from the Lives of Saint Brigit and the connection between ourselves, others, and the divine.

Brigit Songs

Suffering and Compassion

The world is going wild, demons are wailing, and we cling to a powerful goddess.

To You Brigit We Cling

Dedicated to Saint Brigit and her nuns, this is a reworked Scottish prayer. The original was collected by Alexander Carmichael and can be found in Carmina Gadelica, Volume 1, by Alexander Carmichael, [1900], at sacred-texts.com, pg 231.

I Will Kindle My Fire

_For the River_

I thank you for the river
that flows far from sunlight
for the hidden opening of that stream
for the sacred grove that rises from those waters
for the sacred wisdom pouring from those leaves

For the River

Asking Brigit to guide a dead loved one to his new home.

Prayer for the Dead
(by Mael Brigde)

dear Brigit
I lay my loved one down
a last time

he is three days dead
we have wailed and wept
we have sung and laughed
we have given thanks
we have cried out in anger

we have given thanks

bless my loved one on his journey
let his coracle be light and leaping
on the waves

salmon his companions
and the great whales
to guide him to his home

Prayer for the Dead

There is only one word in this file: Dubhthach. He was the father of Saint Brigit, and I for one did not know how to pronounce his name. Till now.

Dubhthach

Devotee of Brigit, founder of Daughters of the Flame.
