Today's episode is about Brigid, saint and legend, known for her skills at the hearth, the loom, midwifery, healing, poetry and animal husbandry. Kathy Spaar, spiritual director, pilgrimage leader and nature educator shares many of the folklore and stories of this legendary figure from Celtic tradition. As a figure of feminine wisdom and power who presides over the land and the homestead, we consider Brigid the quintessential Lady Farmer, our guide, protector and inspiration for slow living through the seasons.1:20 - January is here!1:50 - Mary and Emma introduce Kathy and BrigidLet's get into the interview!7:15 - Kathy introduces herself10:00 - Brigid's Feast Day12:30 - Kathy's favorite stories of Brigid20:00 - Brigid - the quintessential Lady Farmer27:00 - How does Brigid relate to the times we are in now31:00 - The most important thing Brigid has taught KathyThings mentioned:The AlmanacBrigidine SistersChildren's Book “Brigid’s Cloak: An Ancient Irish Story” by Bruce Milligan."Symbols of Plenty" by Ruth Bidgood"Rekindling the Flame " by Rita Minehan
