Stories, spells, rituals, and recipes celebrating the worldwide influence of this beloved Celtic goddess, with contributions from Amy Blackthorn, Laura Tempest Zakroff, Courtney Weber, and many others
This anthology celebrates Brigid, an ancient and mysterious Celtic spirit who ranks among today’s most popular modern goddesses. Venerated in many forms including as a saint and a goddess, Brigid has traveled the globe alongside the Celtic diaspora. Once a goddess with a narrow territory, she is now an internationally beloved presence. While acknowledging her origins, this book also explores Brigid from the perspective of those outside her original Celtic homeland.
Editors Cairelle Crow and Laura Louella have gathered art, poetry, stories, spells, rituals, recipes, and traditions as an homage to the worldwide influence of Brigid’s magic and lore, especially among the descendants of immigrants to the Americas. In compiling these individual works, Cairelle and Laura have given voice to those traveling ancestors by showcasing a rich and beautiful heritage manifested through embodiments of devotion by their descendants, as well as others touched by Brigid.

Cairelle Crow Perilloux is a genealogist; midlife maven; wanderess of wild and holy spaces; a priestess of bees, stars, and sacred roots; and, through her motherline, a daughter descendant of mitochondrial haplogroup H. With over two decades of experience in traditional and genetic genealogy, she is dedicated to connecting people to their own genealogy magic by teaching them how to research their ancestral lineages. Cairelle lectures and offers educational workshops nationally and internationally. Writing as Cairelle Crow, she is the author of The Magic in Your Genes and a contributing author and coeditor of the anthology Brigid’s Light. When she’s not riding on a Mardi Gras float in her native New Orleans or roaming the world in search of grandmothers, quirky art, and stone circles, Cairelle is home in a cozy forest cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
