Welcome to the home of Ord Brighideach
 The Three-Fold Fire of Brighid
Fire in the forge that
shapes and tempers.
Fire of the hearth that
nourishes and heals.
Fire in the head that
incites and inspires.

 | Poetry: An Imbolc Poem |
 Finn writes "I walk
wrapped in your mantle
green as leaf on tree
newly blown
on the wind
Hands still, I walk
silent and serene
in the knowledge
that I walk alone
and never lonely
Light is reaching out over the hill
I take your hand
and walk into the dawn
that lights the grass and never burns
Bride, lady of my night
lady of my morn
Rise ever and walk ever onward
blessing us with your grace.

| Prayers: Caim na Brighid (Caim=Compassing) |
Coyote writes "by Coyote Brid's Flame (C.G. Standish)
Sept. 2005
Be the Caim na Brighid about me
Be the Mantle of Gentle Brighid about me
Be the Shield of Mighty Brighid about me
Be the Fiery Sword of Brighid about me
Let no Fire burn,
by Sun, by Moon, by Flame
Let no Water drown,
by Wave, by River, by Lake
Let no Air choke,
by Smoke, by Gas, by Smog
Let no Earth crush,
by Sand, by Iron, by Rock
Let no Sword cut, no Arrow pierce,
no Lance wound,
Let no Spirit curse, no Envy harm,
no Malice doom,
Let no Tooth render, no Claw tear,
no Tongue lash,
Hear me now, O Flame Without Ash!
Hear me now and let it be so!"

| Poetry: Goddess of Initiation : A Dream |
FreyaWyche writes "Goddess of Initiation : A Dream
December 2007
She came in dream
With chestnut hair lit by fire
Surrounding eyes of green.
A smile of warmth
A laugh, a pause ~
And then…a question rode the air :
“What troubles thee? What do ye seek?
Look deeply at me childe
For second sight I have the right
And I have traveled wilde.

| News: WFU professor says Celtic Christianity is unique religion |
|
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, the legend will be retold of how the Christian missionary Patrick banished all the snakes from Ireland. However, zoologists say there never were snakes in Ireland, and historians suggest that the snakes refer instead to the druids, who had their own non-Christian religion. Over time the Christian church incorporated elements of the druids’ traditions into its own religious practices in Ireland.

| Crafts: A Geeky Candle Alternative |
Azure writes "Hello to you all, and nineteen blessings!
I am a geek. It's sad, but oh-so-true. I know basic programming keys and my basement has far more out of date and obscure computers then any basement has a right to.

| Songs & Chants: Hearthfire song |
druidlinda writes "From my hearth, to this hearth,
I carry the flame
From this hearth, to your hearth,
the flame is the same
It's the central fire,
connecting us all
In my heart, and your heart,
we tend to the flame
of the hearth.
Background: This is a song that I sing at every high day ritual. I carry a hearth candle from home to light the ritual fire. Participants have an opportunity to take a candle home that was lit from the hearthfire.

What a symphony of joy and re-birth is the music of your inspiration!
'O how Thy bright flame in the souls of the Children of the Earth illuminates the darkness of our too long slumbering consciousness!
