Ready To Be Real by Síle Seoige
Health & Fitness
Topics covered : Imbolc and the symbolism and significance of Brigid.
In this episode, I speak to historian and artist Shelly Mooney who runs the brilliant Instagram page ‘Tales from the Wood’ which explores the history and mythology of Ireland.
She lives in the countryside in County Wexford with her husband Kev, their baby Ferdia and Lola their dog.
After several years of campaigning, St Brigid’s Day has finally become a public holiday in Ireland and it’s the first one to be named after a woman.
In this conversation Shelly talks about the ancient pagan festival heralding the beginning of Spring called ‘Imbolc’ and the significance of Brigid and her resurgence in recent times, including the story behind her cloak and the cross of St. Brigid.
