Could Brigit have been Queen of the Leinster Fairies? Step into the mystical heart of Ireland and uncover the hidden essence of Brigit, a figure revered as both goddess and saint, yet shrouded in mystery. In this spellbinding exploration, Pauline Breen reveals Brigit as you’ve never imagined her — a powerful fae woman and sovereign of the Irish Otherworld. Beyond her familiar roles in Celtic mythology and Christian tradition, Brigit (Brigid/Brighid) emerges as a liminal force, a bridge between the seen and unseen, the mortal and the magical. Through meticulous research into ancient myths, folklore and the sacred landscapes of Ireland, Breen illuminates Brigit’s forgotten identity as a being of the Otherworld. This book explores: Her lineage among the Tuatha Dé Danann, Ireland’s mythical race of divine beings, and her deep kinship with the fae folk. The Sí and Brigit: why Ireland’s fairy lore cannot be told without her Death, keening, and Brigit’s forgotten role as psychopomp Fire, smithcraft, and the cauldron of inexhaustible plenty — gifts that link saintly 'miracles' to Otherworld magic • Sacred geography: from Newgrange to Croghan Hill, the places where her presence still thrums • Living practice: rituals, wells, and seasonal customs that let modern seekers meet Brigit as Queen of the Leinster Fairies
