Welcome dear sisters, to the warm embrace of the Triple Goddess! On Sunday, January 31st, 2010, at 11:11 am you are invited to share in a women's sacred Cross Quarter ceremony humbly devoted to our Holy Mother Brighid.
"In solidarity with the Keepers of Brighid's flame in Eire, and our sisters everywhere, those of us who join hands on this sacred path...
In reverance for the community of life,
Work together to further compassion and justice,
For humanity and the earth."
Blessed Be!
Daughters of Her Sacred Flame represents but one, specific tradition in honor of Brighid. Imbolc has been, and continues to be, celebrated in many unique and wondrous ways around the world, including right here in my own beloved community.
Daughters of Her Sacred Flame gatherings have varied in size, format and location since the very first ritual here invited other women to join in the sacred task of care-taking Brighid's holy fire, gifted from Keepers of the Flame in Kildare, Ireland.
They reflect, as all rituals do, both the individual energies and the collective focus of the women present. The interconnected constants that define DoHSF gatherings as a living traditon, are: 1) Beginning at the ocean's edge to collect waters from/for Brighid's Holy Well... 2) Sharing Brighid's Sacred Flame from Kildare, Ireland in sacred space with special chants and other devotional intent... 3) Celebration through activities specific to Brighid's gifts of inspiration, peacemaking, healing, poetry, creativity, intuition, divination, forging, transformation, etc... 4) Also honoring Brighid's Holy Well, along with Her eternal Flame, in the context of the Wheel of the Year and it's changing seasons.. 5) Mindfully fostering ecofeminist conscious, safe space for women and all sentient beings- 'vegetarian/vegan friendly!'
