Pagan Portals - Brigantia: Warrior Goddess by Pauline Breen

Book review by Heather

This is the last in Pauline Breen’s Trilogy to examine three faces of Brigid.  As with the first two, this book is eloquently written, demonstrating the authors devotion to her Goddess.

Ms Breen supplies the reader with the historical and archaeological evidence to support the supposition that Brigantia could have travelled with the Brigantes tribe when they migrated to Ireland.   Then discussing the possibility that, as the people became settled, the goddess adapted to their change of life to become Brigid.

Within the fourth chapter, the author describes her pilgrimage to Northumberland and Hadrian’s Wall, the impressions and insights she gained from the area.   Following on from this, Ms Breen clearly informs the reader that the correspondences she is about to suggest are her own, the ones she has found work best as she has connected with Brigantia.  Going on to suggest why the reader might chose to work with this goddess.

For those who find this concise book has piqued their interest, an extensive bibliography is included.
