Brigid, one of the most popular Celtic Goddesses, is a vast deity and can assist her devotees with nearly any endeavor. She is depicted here as the three sisters or three of the many aspects of this Goddess:
Midwife — healer/nurturer/herbalist,
Blacksmith/keeper of fire/craftswoman/transformer and
Poetess — bringer of wisdom/guidance/prophecy.

The three who-are-one stand on a crescent-shaped base. Symbols of her worship are hidden throughout the piece — Brigid's cross; the flaming arrow; Brigid's bed; the bush near her sacred wells, which are tied with prayers and wishes on scraps of cloth, to mention a few. Many of the names she is known by encompass the base, even one written in ogham. original carved from mahogany.
