About
Brigid, Light-Bearer at the Threshold is a mythopoetic body of work concerned with the moment when life begins to turn again – not abruptly or triumphantly, but through breath, warmth, and the gradual recovery of orientation. Rooted in Irish cosmology, folklore, elemental philosophy, and depth psychology, this work approaches Brigid not as saint or figure of devotion, but as a living intelligence encountered at points of passage. She appears where endurance softens into listening, where the body remembers warmth, and where the soul begins to face the world again. She is known not only through fire and craft, but through word, rhythm, and the quiet act of receiving what wishes to be spoken. Here, Brigid is encountered through her twin labours. She tends the hearth – the low, steady fire of milk, breath, midwifery, and care – restoring coherence after long inward seasons. She also stands at the forge as blacksmith, trailblaizer, and torchbearer, working with heat and skill, bending metal, shaping the line of what comes next. Nothing is rushed. Direction emerges through attention. This work speaks both to those who have come through profound inner change, and to those who have long walked with Brigid and sense that she is deeper, older, and more complex than her familiar forms suggest. It offers a deepening into her dual nature – holding and leading, nourishing and forging – and into the human experience of standing between what has been lived and what is now asking to be lived. This is not a programme of instruction or self-improvement. It is an act of orientation – a listening, a warming, a finding of words – and a recognition of the fire that waits to be worked. For those who know thresholds. For those who listen as much as they act. For those ready to move forward with care, craft, and voice.
