Brigit/Brigid/Bríg "exalted one" is a goddess in Irish mythology. 9th C Cormac's Glossary written by monks, says she was "the goddess whom poets adored" & that she had 2 sisters: Brigid the healer & Brigid the smith. Some say they were syncretised with St Brigid! 🎨? #SiblingsDay

Hi dear followers. Just a note to say I will be tweeting much much less until end of April.
2 reasons:
1. New Testament Greek final exam, 7 April.
2. #Rewrite to get final version of my children's story book on Irish female saints finished.
Prayer for both valued! #amwriting

The earliest #leprechaun story is medieval! Fergus mac Léti, King of Ulster fell asleep on beach & is dragged into sea by 3 lúchorpáin! He captures his abductors, who grant him 3 wishes in exchange for release! A wish granted was breathing underwater! #Ireland #FairyTaleTuesday☘️
