Brigid’s Well #1, the “Wayward Well”, Kildare, Ireland<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brighid’s Holy Wells in Kildare<\/strong>
* Kildare, Ireland<\/em>
The Goddess or St. Brigid<\/a> has two holy wells in Kildare? She certainly does. Some say<\/a> that one of the wells belongs to the Ancient Goddess Brigid, while the other well belongs to St. Brigid. Both are sacred, both are holy, and both hold Brigid’s magical healing waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well #1 is the ancient “original” sacred well of Brigid. Well #2 is the dressed-up sacred shrine and park of Brigid with her well. They were two distinctly different entities … an Ancient Goddess whose ethereal Godly presence could manifest as a human female and the actual magical human nun turned Saint who was the personification of the Deity. One and the same? could be. Two differently distinct entities who share the common thread? very possibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two wells … that seems to be the case. One for the Goddess and One for the Saint? I would say “both” wells contain “both” the Saint and the Goddess in them. I’ve come to notice a pattern with this, that the “ancient” Pagan “original” well is often offset from the “Christian” one. This seemed to be the case when I went to see the Madron well<\/a> in Cornwall, England (though technically that one had “three” – the original one buried in the marsh, the Pagan “original” one offset from the one underwater, and the Christian well house.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
