Brighid, both the Goddess and the Saint, is associated with the sun and
fire. In fact, her name is said to mean "fiery dart", and she is associated with
"fiery pursuits" such as smithcrafting, as well as the inspirational "fires" of
creativity.
As many of the myths associated with the Pagan Goddess Brighid have merged with the Christianised saint, this only proves that even today, Brighid is seen as a powerful role model and source of inspiration for the modern woman regardless of her spiritual belief.
