I am the light of a thousand stars... The fire of her sacred heart.... The bridge between hearth, hearth, and home...

Such a very beautiful Invocation to Bridgit. Truly, I felt Her there and here in watching and listening to this. The Goddess is rising throughout the world, returning to heal and preserve.
