Brigid

From the three sisters Brigid issue the year’s spring dawning and the health of offspring. The wise know she’s also directly descended from the Primordial of the sun. None know how much of that primal being lives on in her divinity, and none wish to brave unknowable forces to find out. Rumors that she’s really a Titan burn to ashes whenever she hears them.

Brigid is one and three-in-one. As a single deity, she married Bres to forge an accord between the People and the Fomorians. When war broke out anyway, she fought alongside the Tuatha, and originated the mystical call of the keening when she lost her traitorous son to her own tribe’s spears. As a triple deity, each sister holds sway over a different aspect of fire. As the sacred hearthflame, she acts as a healer of bodies, minds, and souls. As the spark of inspiration, she acts as muse to poets, artists, and musicians of all stripes. As the fires of the blazing smithy, she forges great wonders to grace the hands of her Scions.

Brigid’s children reflect her multiple nature in their births, circumstances, and deeds. They’re firebrands, impossible to ignore. They Incarnate as often as they’re born, and some say many more than three Brigids have actually walked the Otherworld over the millennia as her children become her over and over again. Her Scions act as instigators, catalysts, and caretakers. They fill mortals’ hands with weapons and mouths with provocative words one day, while the next they soothe ruffled feathers and salve wounds. They’re graffiti artists, opera patrons, record producers, and hip-hop legends. Brigid’s most famous Scion was Oscar Wilde, a master of magical satire who protested injustice with his writing.
