Today was the day 1 of the nine day devotional I am doing to
the goddess Bridget. I sat at my indoor
alter, upon it was a framed picture of the goddess and a Bridgit’s cross I made
last Imbolc. There are a number of other
items on my alter but for this work they are not important. I rang the bell that sits on my alter nine
times, as is my custom to begin all meditation and ritual here. I then went through the devotional outlined
by Rev. Corrigan. I meditated on my
inner image of the goddess for a long time.
Much of the imagery incorporated what was laid down in the text, but
there were some details that were all my own.
At times I lost my focus, as thoughts of the impending school finals and
the need to study, or of the poor clinical review I was anticipating today,
rudely came barging into my mind. However I was able to let them go and come
back to the beautiful image of the goddess.
It seemed to have a calming effect for me. I am thankful for that. Now post clinical review, which went as I
suspected (though I still passed the clinic), I find myself wanting to go back
to that space. There was peace and
beauty there. Needless to say, I am
looking forward to tomorrow, where I will continue the devotionals.
