Brigid Na Mara

BRIGID NA MARA

“The Goddess Comes to Her Temple!” (MQ)

There is now a new wall hanging across the whole back wall behind the Well of Brigid at Clonegal Castle. The beautiful drawing - life size – is by an FOI Priestess and Artist. It is highlighted by Olivia Robertson who identifies it with Brigid Na Mara of the Sea and also with Goda, female equivalent of the Saxon “God”. Goda holds the trident like Britannia Atagartis, Syrian Sea Goddess.

You can place an ad for services as well. If you are a tarot reader or diviner of any kind, place an ad. If you offer correspondence courses in anything at all place and ad. Do you have a group that you are trying to get word out about? Anything Isis or occult oriented is allowed. It's as simple as sending an email.
