Bridget, also known as Brigit, Brid, Brighid, St Brigid, Brigantia, Mary of the Gaels, Bride, Brigid, is a warrior goddess of Britain, Ireland, France and Spain, who has struck a perfect balance of femininity and power. Her name means "the bright one", "the bright arrow" or "the powerful one". Originally a highly respected Celtic goddess afforded much acclaim in ancient Ireland, Brigit has a shrine erected in her honour in the town of Kildare, where women tended a flame that burned continually. In the fifth century, Brigit was adopted by the Catholic church and deemed "Saint Brigid".
Brigit is the female equivalent of Archangel Michael, fiercely protecting and lovingly clearing those who call upon her. Like Michael, Brigit also inspires divine guidance and prophetic information. She's the half-sister of the Celtic love god, Aengus, sharing the same mother with him. Brigit is known as a triple goddess of the flame, who uses her flames to help purify us and increase fertility, creativity and promote healing. A "triple goddess" means that Brigit has three different personas or aspects, as if she's three different people, each with distinct duties and specialities.
Brigit is a sun goddess associated with fire. When she's in your presence, you may feel hot and actually begin to perspire. Brigit is celebrated each 1st February during a time originally known as "Imbolc", when rites usher in springtime and welcome the birth of new livestock.
She says:
"I am the embodiment of fiery devotion to the good people of the planet Earth. At one time I walked upon the Earth and my heart was broken in many ways by careless and thoughtless actions against myself, my people and the land. The rest of my time I devoted to trying to understand human nature. I now have insight into the "nature of the beast" of the human heart. I see that its frailty lies in indecision and worry. Cast, therefore, your cares onto me and I shall carry them away.
"Humanity is heavy with grief now over the loss of innocence and the many rivalries that have been invented and imposed. These are artificial boundaries and the committee with which I work seeks to blur their lines to build unity and salvation. Devotion to oneness at this time is essential, a single-pointed focus upon the One. Inside each of us is a saviour. Learn to invoke your internal saviour as a counterbalance to cares and worries. Watch how this inner deity quietly and discreetly intervenes.
"It is with these workings that we have all come together - we who oversee the Mission on a grand scale, and all of those upon the planet who hold great desires to bring goodness home. This teamwork is built upon the framework and understanding of our oneness. It isn't difficult to understand the mechanics of these workings, as they're orchestrated for your higher good. I call it the workings of the "inner salvation" - instead of simply focusing upon improving outward situations and other people's lives try this instead: go inward and explore the inner mission, the inner territory, the inner deities."

BRIGIT INVOCATION
You can contact Brigit at any time; however, it's especially effective to light a candle and stare at its flame as you say:
"Great Brigit, I know that you hear me the moment that I think of you. I ask for your presence and assistance. Please lend me your courage and power that I may rise to the level of my highest capabilities. Please warm my heart and mind with your brightness, and burn away any thoughts, feelings, or behaviours that stand in the way of my Divine potential. Help me to have the courage to be my very best, and to lose all fear of being powerful".
