The results of 7+ years of working with Brighid
Post Body

Hey, I wanted to make this post somewhere because I wanted to get this out there so others could read this. I believe this research is useless just sitting around on my hard drive.

First off, here's the result of my 7 years of working with Brighid
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nBNPFHPanL8feZTCiYgUC57qMCmlU1OP/edit#heading=h.6gzc2ez33hrj

There should be a table of contents with "personal experiences" and a journal

Second, I believe Brighid and Brigantia are the same, but also Sulis, etc. That document should provide the evidence of my claim, as does this article

Brigid came to Leinster due to migration by the Brigantes, as detailed in this article

I believe this is all but confirmation that St. Brigid's Cross has pre-Christian roots, as it is found in Brigantia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_Stone

The Lady of the Lake may have been a reference to the goddess of the Afon Braint, and I shouldn't have to tell you why that is significant

I came here in a rush to share this because this week I came by this book on Amazon 'Brigantia' by Guy Ragland Phillips, and it was heavily discounted due to "excessive writing in the margins" and notes throughout. On its own, it isn't worth that much with what we know now about the goddess and archaeology. Miranda Green tends to treat with the subject a good deal better.

Well, there are the notes of 2 people before me (think more like four tbh) and almost 50 years of scholarship, updates, and notes on the subject of the goddess Brigantia and the significant geography of the region of Brigantia contained within it, and literally confirms something I only started to touch on in my document.

Brigantia-worshippers possibly originated in Austria (Bregenz) and Portugal (Braganca) and possibly earlier in northern Italy regions due to the presence of the Camunion Rose. They migrated to Brigantium (tower of Hercules was once called Tower of Brigantia), then Yorkshire area (hence its title Brigantia) and then Leinster where she became Brigid. Afon Braint on the druidic isle of Anglesley is likely where the "lady of the lake" idea originated. Brigantia is theorized as above to be the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian lore, where Camelot would be the Roman fort of Camulodunum.

Of course, this could also be due to the Indo-European root for high or exalted, but the evidence as presented above makes a damn good case for these all being interlinked.

EDIT: Also feel free to correct/distribute/alter, I don't care as long as it's to her benefit
