Talk:Brigid

message: I removed:
"Brigid was known by many names, but all the different avatars were triple goddesses, with a maiden, mother, and crone aspect."
This is incorrect. The idea of triple goddesses being a maiden, mother and crone is not found in the Celtic cultures where they were sisters, as the Brighids are seen, or mothers (as in the Dea Matronae, Divine Mothers). The idea was actually invented by Robert Graves and it has been incorrectly projected onto triple goddess figures existing prior.
::Were the Brighids really three sisters, or were they simply one goddess with three titles or aspects? The fact that they are all called Brighid makes it seem to me that they are a single, three-part entity. Celsiana 02:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiccan triple goddess

message: I have not found any evidence for such a goddess in Gaul. The name does notseem Gaulish. I did find  a reference to an eponymous deity of Mount Berecyntos in Phrygia (hardly Gaulish), a passing mention in Bacon  and something in Ovid Berecynthia Aeneae classem in Nymphas transformat. Nine of which gives me any confidence in the existence of such a Gaulish deity. If someone could please supply a citation? --Nantonos 21:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't supply a citation, but can supply a guess. Might somebody have found this Phrygian placename and hazarded a Galatian etymology for it? (Cart before the horse, if that's the case...) QuartierLatin1968  16:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Triple goddess 

message: "It has been suggested that Brigid was a dawn goddess and the same figure as Áine. source: Ward, Alan. The Myths of the Gods: Structures in Irish Mythology. CreateSpace, 2011. p.21" Not so much. I'm looking through the source, and it has things like "the shaman god," "the fire god," and "the water goddess who has three names." Some of this is quite fanciful and not in line with scholarly consensus. I'm removing the line and source, but am open to discussing it. Where was this source published besides scribd? Maybe I'm tired out but it looks self-published to me. - CorbieV☊ 22:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

text: One person's theory is not sufficient for putting this in the lede and category, especially with "some theorize" type weasel/inflated phrasings. I've left the content, but put the names of the two people cited (one person citing another) and moved it down to where the other PEI theories are mentioned. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 18:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Some,  Simon Tuite,argue that Bridget wasn't a real goddess. They point to the fact that much of what we know about her is from a single source, the 10th century Cormac's Glossary, written perhaps 300-400 years after Christianization. This text mentions three goddesses, all called Brigit. We know that the word means exalted one, so maybe Bridget was not her three names. Maybe Bridget is just the title? What do you think?
