It's the time of Brigit, the time for the awakening earth. When seeds germinate and the promise of life returns.
For me, her day is not simply one day, but a season. It is a time when the energies of Brigit reignite the flame of life.
This is the time when the sacred flames anchor again, when the cycle of fertility grows in energy. It is usually my favourite time of year, when my own forays into the landscape resume after a rather life-less winter.
I have not been called into the land yet, in England at any rate, but the flames have been showing up in people's attunements, or in healing sessions where I wasn't expecting them to. When they are held in the auric field, they give the ability to anchor them in the landscape.
Each flame has its own frequency, and the Brigit flame holds hers. It is the fire of the sun warming the earth. Bringing life again. It is the most physical of all the flames, more aligned with the solar energies and their effect on the landscape, and our awakening into spring.
It returns hope and optimism, glimpses of life after darkness. Who doesn't need to feel that? Who can go through life without having something to look forward to?
Victor Frankl survived the concentration camps, and he concluded that many who survived made the internal decision to' find meaning even when suffering was unavoidable'. He wrote that those who survived often did so because they held onto something unfinished: caring for a loved one, completing a piece of work, or having a sense of responsibility only they could fulfill.
For me, this hope is akin to the living fires of Brigit. The hope and intent for a positive future. Even when we cannot change our circumstances, we can choose our attitude toward them. And in that choice, hope becomes an act of inner freedom.
Our ancestors practiced this act of hope and renewal in their fire ceremonies. Knowing they were manifesting for their collective future. The fire warms, it keeps us alive. The sun begins to shine again. Life returns.
The flame of Brigit gives me hope. Brigit is that fire. So I will infuse myself with her energy at this time and bring myself alive again. This is her time. Make good use of it.
