St bridid certainly got some good press! she must have sent out an PR agent! St Bridid is based on the irish pagan ideal of womanhood.. and not one of your virginal roman woman, but on a lusty irish lass..

She got cleaned up in catholic sainthood, but in her old pagan irish ways she would have felt at home in the footnotes thread.. round heeled lass that she was.. her name in gaelic is related to the word for navel.. brigid was the earth mother, the source of new life.. (and we all know how that gets started!) she was also lady bountyful.. and caused the grain to grow.. and cattle to fatten.. i stumbled across some good sites about her.. i'll see if i can find them again.
