{"product_id":"brigid-brian-wright-9780752448657","title":"Brigid: Goddess, Druidess and Saint","description":"Brigid is a mysterious figure, both goddess and saint, who is still revered worldwide today in her different aspects. Combining early Celtic history, archaeology and customs associated with both the goddess and the saint, this book provides a fascinating insight into the development of this unique mythical and historical figure. Using the available evidence, the author suggests a date for the conception of the deity Brigid, suggesting why and by whom she was created. He also explains how the goddess \"became\" a saint and how this is historically linked with the unification of Ireland under a High King. The book goes on to look at how the goddess and the saint are still venerated in today's world, such as the burning of the perpetual flame in Ireland, relit by President McAleese in 2006.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 075244865X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752448657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Brian Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925885976831,"sku":"9780752448657","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_85d5b00c-9d74-472d-bf25-740e102404b2.jpg?v=1681079955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/brigid-brian-wright-9780752448657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
