Awens to All:

I have Great News from Megalithic Portal.com!

It Goes:

“The Irish Government has decided that next year a national public holiday (equivalent to that given to St Patrick) will be accorded to Brigid, saint, goddess, matron of poetry, healing, and smithwork.”

To be held on the nearest Monday to February 1st, (feast of St Brigid and traditional date of Brigid’s festival of Imbolc), next year it will be on February 6th.

Why choose Brigid, saint or goddess, to be an icon for women, and why now?” More at
