mslundstrum 's review for:

Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess by Courtney Weber

---

I would like to make a small warning of something in this book: The author is not an anthropologist, archaeologist, sociologist, or any sort of gist type person. The author makes that clear in the beginning of the book, but I feel it necessary to mention as well. A lot of the book was well researched and had a wealth of resources on Brigid that I was not aware of. She covered all aspects of this particular deity, even her saint archetype. The author's journey with this goddess is also well documented which I feel is an important thing to include in a book that you're personally writing out of a promise to said deity. It dragged in some sections and it was kind of annoying that she didn't include the sources, directly, of the small stories she would start the chapter out on, but other than that I would recommend this book for anyone interested Brigid.
