Illuminated beauty stands on Gaelic ground;
fair skinned goddess of the Celts,
surrounded by candles for a sense of hope,
under the full moon of February the 12th
Foresty spring nature borders around,
the arrival of serpents is awaited in ambient tones
Courteous purification of existence; Pagan spirituality,
riddance of nihilism; Celtic nobility
Brìghde; a saint and healer to those harmed,
Owns a patient mind and heart,
ginger hair swifts whispering;
the Scottish goddess for rituals of prosperity
