Along with some of the anthology's contributors, I will be one of the ritual artists performing works about this inspirational divinity. Brigit has honored me by helping me to compose my song for Imbolc "On the Eve of Spring," from a new collection of original songs for the Wheel of the Year. I also found that I invoked Her quite by accident on Imbolc of 2012. I had been asked to sing an Invocation to Brigit for Her fire festival of Imbolc by Earth Traditions, I had been given a particular song to sing. I'm always pressed for time, but I was even more compressed as I was struggling to complete my original musical The Alembic that was to be performed that September, and script deadlines were fast approaching. The main character still needed his song and for the life of me I just couldn't write it! But Imbolc took precedence on this day so I set my Alembic woes aside. On my way to the Imbolc festival, I sang the requested song over and over again in my car. Then just as I was about to sing through it again, the missing song suddenly popped into my head, absolutely complete. I am forever grateful Brigit heard my unspoken prayer.
In addition to "On the Eve of Spring," written for Brigit, I honor Her with Her gifts to me "In Just One Moment" and "Faith," from The Alembic which debuted at the Chicago Fringe Festival 2012 with the amazing talent of my beloved performance troupe Terra Mysterium.
