Recently I began a new blog on which to offer poetry related to Brigit: Stone on the Belly. Most of the poems are mine, some are written by others. You are welcome to come by and dip in, or sign up for alerts.
From the introduction to Stone on the Belly:
Writing Brigit
Many years ago I wrote my first Brigit prayer. Poem. Blessing... I have been writing them ever since, but seldom publish them. Some are carefully researched and crafted, some are simple and straight from the heart.
The prayers and blessings of my sisters in the Daughters of the Flame and other Brigit-loving women and men, living and long-dead, fill me with surprise and delight, as well.
I would like to share some of these writings with you.
Following is the one that signs off each of my emails, a reminder to guide my words and intentions with care when I write to anyone. It's as good a place to start as any.

Flame Offering
In the name of the three Brigits
I light the candle of my heart
May I offer it to everyone
gentle and steady
warm and bright
