I'm grateful for the many prayers and practical ritual ideas in this book. The author really had some lovely suggestions outlined in here, and I got a lot out of that. I also enjoyed the personal experiences from various devotees as well as the author's personal stories with Brigid. However, for how often the author refers to herself as a reconstructionist in this book, there is nary a mention of Brigid's role in Irish mythology (though a few Christian folklore stories were included, which I still appreciated and enjoyed). Definitely agree with other reviewers that there's quite a bit of Wiccan and general neo-Pagan information mixed in with the better information. Additionally, the way that the author addresses all devotees as cis women by default felt problematic to me since plenty of devotees of other genders also work with Brigid. So yes, recommended for the rituals and prayers, but take the info with a grain of salt and if gender binary talk bothers you, just Google around to find the author's prayers and rituals and you'll basically be good to go.
