Forging Strong Blessings: The Brigid's Hammer Pendant
27th Jul 2020
Brigid's Hammer
Healing ~ Creation ~ Strength
I'm excited to share this new creation with you: Brigid's Hammer.
Brigid is the Irish goddess of healing, artistic creation, and strength. Micki's son Bob has crafted this original concept of the Hammer of Brigid, and he incorporated three key elements into his design:
Hammer -- To honor Brigid's blacksmithing aspect, the outline of this design is her smithing hammer. In contrast to the more aggressive Viking Thor's Hammer, Brigid's Hammer is as much about the power to create. She represents the fire and forge of creation, hearth, and home.
Goddess -- In this design, do you see the goddess with her arms raised as if to strike with a hammer? The blessings of Brigid include healing, creation, inspiration, and strength.
Triple Knot -- Brigid of Ireland is often considered a triple goddess. The triple knot is also known as the Triquetra or Trinity Knot, and it has been used in Irish and Celtic art for centuries.
Brigid raises her hammer for her next act of creation, forging destinies and dreams alike, with mighty blows of her hammer.
We offer this pendant as part of our 'Celtic Traditions' series.
May this new concept and creation share the blessings of Brigid with the world.
