🍀The Celtic Goddesses have arrived!🍀⁠ Three of the most requested Goddesses join our Pantheon today.⁠ ⁠ ✨CHARITABLE, INSPIRATIONAL, TENDER⁠ Brigid is the Irish Goddess of poetry, wisdom, healing, protection, and blacksmithing. Some argue that Saint Brigid is the Christianization of the Goddess, because she was such a popular figure in Celtic mythology. Beloved throughout the land, Brigid was worshiped for a variety of reasons, including as a guardian of domesticated animals and protector of women and children. Blacksmiths and craftsmen admired her for inspiring them, as did poets and songwriters. It’s difficult not to admire and love Brigid and her benevolent ways.⁠ ⁠ ✨⁠GENEROUS, KIND, HEALER⁠ Rhiannon first appears in the Mabinogi, the medieval Welsh collection of stories, as a horse Goddess. In this original literary source, she is known for her beauty, generosity, and intelligence. Like other British and Welsh figures, however, she may have been inspired by an earlier Celtic deity. In art, she is often depicted as a lovely young woman dressed in gold, riding a pale-colored horse, with songbirds circling and flying about her head. Rhiannon inspires us to take control of our destinies and own our unique journey in life.⁠ ⁠ ✨⁠FEARLESS, INDOMITABLE, CAPABLE.⁠ The Celtic Goddess of war, the Morrigan is also associated with fate, chiefly the foretelling of doom, death, or victory in battle. In this role, she is seen appearing most frequently as a crow. In some portrayals, she is shown washing the blood-stained clothing of those destined to die. However, she is also known for encouraging warriors to be brave and fearless, helping them become victorious in battle. One way to look at the Morrigan is as a portent, but one can also draw strength from her.⁠ ⁠ Swipe to see these beautiful statement pieces in 14k yellow gold vermeil or solid sterling silver and discover your inner #CelticGoddess ⁠ ⁠ #AweInspired #AweInspiring #Celtic #CelticFolklore #Goddess #Brigid #TheMorrigan #Rhiannon #jewelry
