Brigid

One of the most prominent Irish goddesses, Brigid is a triple goddess associated with healing, poetry, and smithcraft. She was a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a mythical race in Ireland. She is celebrated as a prominent Ulster goddess. Her holiday, Imbolc, held on February 1st (now an annual bank holiday in Ireland), marks the midpoint of winter. Brigid’s influence was so significant that she was later Christianised as Saint Brigid, and many of Ireland’s wells and waterways are devoted to her.
