"Listen to the story of St Brigid's Cloak” on RTÉ Jr
This isn't just an ordinary cloak - this is St Brigid's cloak!
What better way to ring in the springtime after a long winter than a picnic to celebrate – but Colmcille’s plans are in danger of being scuppered when he forgets to bring along a picnic blanket. That’s where the story of St Brigid’s cloak comes in.
You can listen to the two-part show here now!

"Keening with Brigit — making peace with complex grief” in Divine Wounds by Ness Bosch
Writing "Keening with Brigit — making peace with complex grief” for this anthology was a transformative process, and I am still reaping the rewards. I hope that readers will also find it — and the other offerings in Divine Wounds: Finding Healing by Working with Goddesses and Archetypes — a route to continued insight and healing.
I would love to know other folk’s stories of grief and Brigit. Mine deals with the death of my brother, via the death of her son.
