Biography, Myth, Miracles, Quotes and Prayers of the Irish Goddess
Dave Watson
Published by North Caroline Book Publishers, 2023
In this book, we explore the many facets of St. Brigid's life and legacy,
from her early years as a slave to her rise as a powerful abbess and
spiritual leader. We delve into the rich history of the Celtic Christian
tradition, and examine how St. Brigid's unique approach to spirituality
and theology has influenced generations of Irish thinkers and artists. We
also look at the ways in which St. Brigid's story continues to resonate
with contemporary issues such as women's rights, environmentalism, and
social justice.
Our hope is that this book will serve as a testament to the enduring
power of St. Brigid's story, and inspire readers to explore her life and
teachings for themselves. We believe that by understanding St. Brigid's
legacy, we can gain a deeper appreciation for Ireland's rich cultural
herritage, and perhaps even discover new insights and perspectives that
can help us navigate the challenges of our own time.
We would like to express our gratitude to the many scholars, artists, and
writers whose work had helped us to better understand the life and
legacy of St. Brigid. Without their contributions, this book would not have
been possible. We would also like to thank our families and loved ones for
their support and encouragement throughout the writing proces.
Finally, we dedicate this book to the memory of St. Brigid of Ireland - a
true heroine of Irish history, and an inspiration to us all.

Review
The subtitle of the book is somewhat misleading, we do not find any prayers addressed
to the Goddess Brigid in the book. This book is about St.Brigid, it is assumed in this
book that this was a real saint. The writer is somewhat surprised at the similarities
between the two and it is noted that the stories about the Goddess and the Saint have
become intertwined over time. The book is also somewhat superficial and repetitive.
If you are interested in the Goddess Brigid, it is better to leave this book aside.
