THE WELL OF BRIGHID Na MARA

The cover has been freshly painted by OR

And is “dressed” with plants, as is Irish custom.

A GIFT TO WELCOME 2012

 Minette writes:

"As the Sun set on 2011, Olivia and I descended into the Temple of Isis at Clonegal Castle and offered a ceremony of thanksgiving and blessing for the ancestors and all who help with the work of Isis of Sirius.

 As we moved around the Shrines within the area of Brigid Na Mara’s Well

And on into the Holiest of Holies in the Star Chapel, the atmosphere warmed as the Shrines lit up in response to Olivia’s words.

 It was a great joy and honour to be present at this special time."

Circle of Brigid

The spelling of the name of this goddess, specifically in regards to the group connected with Clonegal Castle, is spelled BRIGID.

Minette asks: "We would appreciate it if you would amend the spelling of "Brighid" to "BRIGID" as although Brighid is equally correct and is used by many, particularly in Ireland, the Circle of Brigid has usually been referred to with the spelling without an 'h', and the email for invitations to come to Festivals at Clonegal Castle is hon.sec.circleofbrigid@gmail.com."

Lady Olivia Robertson is currently in excellent health. But in the event of her passing, The Circle of Brigid will continue to organize the 8 yearly FOI Festivals; and members will continue to be welcomed every day to the Temple of Isis from 1st June to 1st September.
