Mael Brigde – Guide/Instructor

Since the early 1980s, Mael Brigde has found endless spiritual wealth in the conflicting and complementary traditions surrounding Brigit. Among her greatest pleasures are walking with Brigit as a steady companion, and sharing her with others.

In 1993 she founded the first interfaith Brigidine flame-tending group, the Daughters of the Flame, which continues to today. She lit their first candle to Brigit on Imbolc 1993—the same day, she learned much later, that the Irish Catholic Brigidine sisters relit her perpetual fire in Kildare.

She maintains the blog Brigit’s Sparkling Flame, which points readers to Brigit-related websites, books, CDs, and so on, as well as offering reviews and original materials. Feel free to contact her with suggestions for future postings.

Mael Brigde is currently working on a book of poems and prayers to Brigit. Some of her (and others’) poetry can be found at Stone on the Belly.

She lives in Vancouver, Canada.

“Mael Brigde draws on decades of study and personal dedication to Brighid in Her many forms. I recommend this course to anyone wishing to explore women’s spirituality from the Celtic tradition.”

Gail Nyoka, USA:

“Brigit speaks through Mael Brigde in the healing community she has created in Daughters of the Flame. ”

Nichole C. USA:

“I have learned what it means to follow Brigit through Mael Brigde’s exemplary leadership and compassionate, wise ways. She has taught me not only about Brigit’s history and mythology but its relevance and importance in one’s own life and how having a personal relationship with Her can bring fulfillment and joy.”
