Hi All,

I know this is a silly question, but here goes:

As you are aware Imbolc is now coming up and I was thinking of driving up to Kildare to have a look at sites that are sacred to Goddess Bridget. However, I am not familiar with Kildare and was wondering do any of you know of any good sacred sites or wells around the area, I can visit ? or are there any public rituals taking place up there around that Sabbat?

I would very much recommended

Brigid’s Eve Ritual at St. Brigid’s Well
Time: 7.30 – 9.00
A gentle pilgrimage of quiet reflection, song and prayer on the eve of springtime.
Assemble at 7.20 p.m. at Japanese Gardens’ car park.

Yes it is led by the Brigidine Sisters ( who are an enclosed order but come out for this), but it is a very spiritual gathering and inclusive.

Our Mission
Brigid of Kildare has left an inspiring legacy as:

- a spiritual leader,
- a peacemaker,
- a woman of the land,
- an advocate for the poor,
- a woman of legendary hospitality.

We seek to unfold this legacy and its relevance for our world by:

Providing a place of welcome, tranquillity and peace where people can come and find nourishment for life’s journey

* Offering hospitality to people of all faiths and none
* Sharing and celebrating the story of Brigid in a life-giving, creative and challenging way
* Facilitating pilgrimages to Brigid’s sites. If groups are small, we can place the pilgrimage in context in our little Centre before setting out on pilgrimage
* Creating an environment where right relationship with self, others, the cosmos and God is nurtured
* Providing opportunities for people to deepen their spirituality with reflection, prayer, ritual, spiritual accompanying, education and culture.

I have had my children at it and it was wonderful the path is candle lit and most of those taking part bring candles which can be lit from a shared sacred flam and the main well which is far from artificial light is decorated with candles.
