Online Brigid Class +  Can You Help?

While I give a number of in-person talks and work- -shops, many people feel disappointed that they  cannot make it due to their location and schedul- ing conflicts (or even the weather!).   So!  I have created an Online Brigid Class: The Music of Brigid,  Ireland's Patroness  It is 50 minutes and includes: A blessing - Farewell to the darkest part of  the year (Samhain) and Greeting to the new  season of early springtime (Imbolc). Background on Brigid, the pre-Christian  goddess, and Brigid the saint. Short film on Brigid's celebration in Ireland  and about the music that is featured. Info on some of the earth-based music  written in dedication to Brigid. Me teaching you how to sing one of the  most popular songs dedicated to Brigid,  Gabhaim Molta Bhride in Irish Gaelic.   This Online class can be accessed for  $15.  Are you interested?  If so, just email me at  apanettamusic@gmail.com, and I'll get  back to you with the details ASAP!   With your payment for this online class, I will  put the money to use directly on the work I do  for the Celtic Feminine Podcast.  Currently, the website for the  podcast does not have its own domain name  and I have not paid for a hosting service.   Right now, the site is free, but it has unsightly  ads on it.  So, the money from this online  class will go towards purchasing a domain  name and for the hosting service.   Thank you very much for your consideration!

Podcast Mael Brigde, Founder of the "Brigit's Sparkling Flame" Blog and "Daughters of the Flame" Flametending Group, Discusses Her Work

Ah! Last spring I had a lovely visit with Amy Panetta when she came to Vancouver for the Celtic Studies of North America annual conference. Somewhere in there she managed to do this interview of me, and now it is up on her Celtic Feminine Podcast. You can listen now or download it for later.

In this podcast, Amy has a conversation with Mael Brigde, about her work and connection with Brigid.  Since 2004, Mael has maintained the longest-running, most prolific blog about Brigid entitled, "Brigit's Sparkling Flame" where she collects a variety of different resources about Brigid, such as in links, books, music, and events. She also has her poetry dedicated to Brigid on her "Stone on the Belly" blog.  She founded "Daughters of the Flame," which is the first non-church-based flame tending group dedicated to Brigid, which interestingly enough lit their first flame on Brigid's Eve, January 31st 1993, the same year that the Brigidine sisters in Kildare Ireland relit Brigid's flame.  

Currently, Mael teaches online courses dedicated to Brigid.
