Fáilte Bhríde
I am honoured to host this Sacred Space where you will be guided through a Year and a Day of Priestess Training in the Temple of Brighid™, a spiritual community of Sisters who hold deep devotion to the Divine Feminine, especially the Goddess Brighid in her many aspects.
There are two Pathways within this Training
- Certificate of Ordination for those who have completed their course work throughout the year and received the Rite of Ordination.
- Certificate of Participation for those who have participated without completing assignments.
Temple of Brighid™
Priestess Training
Who is Brighid?
In Irish Mythology, Brighid is the daughter of An Dagda, the great Father God of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. It is speculated by some that her mother is the Goddess Boann of the sacred River Boyne. Some say she is daughter of Danu, others say the Mórrígán, but certainly she is of Divine Feminine lineage.
Brighid means Exalted One.
She is Goddess of the Forge, of Healers and of Poets.
As Patroness of Poets, she opens the doors of inspiration and to communication between the worlds.
Brighid is known by many names, including Lady of the Shore, Lady of the Sea, Goddess of the Flame, Fiery Arrow, Brighid of the Mantle. She is the Protectress of Women and Children, especially of women in childbirth.
No other western Goddess has demonstrated such enduring veneration as Brighid. She embodies An Spiroad Naomh, the Divine Feminine and the all encompassing emanation of Divine Mother. From ancient times to her later adoption as Saint, she is venerated all over the world.
Celtic Druid Rose Priestess
What do these words awaken in you? Something mysterious, a yearning? Something you can't quite explain, something calling to your soul?
It may be calling to you from across many lifetimes, calling you to reconnect and awaken to your Divine Feminine mission now.
As surely as the wave meets the shore, this call will pull you back to Her.
Would you like to:
- Connect with the Goddess and discover what this means for you in this lifetime?
- Discover who Brighid is and her many forms?
- Connect with other Celtic (particularly Irish) Goddesses and Gods?
- Discover Brighid’s correlation with her Goddess counterparts in cultures from around the world eg. Isis of Egypt?
- Learn the difference between Sacred Circle and Temple Space as we work with both?
- Deepen your connection to ancient Irish traditions?
Becoming a Priestess is a vocation. This course is a serious immersion into what will become for you a way of living, a way of life.
