Hello! My name is Dez and I just happen to be your not so average twenty-three year old married gamer geek girl. I'm a lover of video games, Hello Kitty, not blowing up my kitchen, and pretending to be a photographer.

My tumblr is a black hole to play host to everything that runs through my twisted kingdom. A majority of my posts are reblogged. Nothing is ever original, usually.

She was the Goddess of Healers, Poets, Smiths, Childbirth and Inspiration; Goddess of Fire and Hearth and a patron of warfare. She is said to be present at every birth.

As the Goddess of Inspiration, she blesses poetry, creativity, prophecy and the arts. She was even esteemed as the patron deity of language, having inspired the alphabet. As the Goddess of Smithcraft, she blesses blacksmiths, goldsmiths, and other crafters of the household. As Goddess of Healing, she blesses physical and spiritual healing, fertility of crop and livestock and mid-wifery.

Many legends are told about Brigit. Some say that there are three Brigits : one sister in charge of poetry and inspiration who invented the Ogham alphabet, one in charge of healing and midwifery, and the third in charge of the hearth fire, smithies and other crafts.
