Brigid the Alchemist

$495.00

Some creations are made fast.
Others are made slowly, in seasons.

This original painting is for those who carry a quiet winter inside—
who keep tending a small inner fire even when the world feels cold, heavy, or uncertain.

This piece began in 2022 during a workshop devoted to the alchemy of the Celtic goddess Brigid, guided by Kim Sales and inspired by the work of Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess.
It began as a ritual act—an offering to fire, water, and transformation—and returned each winter, asking to be tended again through paint and prayer.

This is a devotional painting for the in-between season:
the weeks around Imbolc, Candlemas, Groundhog Day, and St. Brigid’s Day—
when the ice hasn’t melted yet,
but the light begins to linger just a little longer in the evening sky.

Brigid, goddess of flame and well, blacksmithing and healing, poetry and inspiration, reminds us that transformation is not soft or tidy.

Fire forges.
Water deepens.
Both change you.

If you are tired, grieving, waiting, or rebuilding,
may the forge warm what has gone numb.
May the well soften what has grown tight.
May your creative spark stay alive, even if it flickers some days.

This painting is an original work on raw, unstretched canvas—meant to feel earthy, devotional, and alive, like something made in conversation with season and spirit rather than polished into perfection.

As Imbolc and St. Brigid’s Day approach, this is your reminder:

Spring is not here yet.
But it is already being made—
inside you, quietly, faithfully, one breath at a time.

May the fire hold you.
May the water heal and guide you.
May what is becoming in you be given time to grow in the dark,
until it is ready to be seen.

27” x 21.5” unstretched canvas. Acrylic.
