S2E4 - Brigid and the Cailleach
02/13/20 • 67 min
We are at a threshold time. Last week marked the midway point between Winter solstice and spring equinox. Now you might be feeling the stirrings of Spring. Depending on where you are, it might even already look like Spring. And it might be tempting to want to rush through this liminal tension and get Winter over with already, but here I’m inviting you to pause and be here at this threshold.
There are stories to be found here.
In this episode, we’re diving into some Irish Celtic folklore through two figures that represent both sides of this seasonal threshold: Brigid and the Cailleach.
