The Genealogy of Brigit
Translated by Caitlin Mathews

It is this Brigit who is poetess or the wise-woman whom the poets worship, because of her great and wonderous protection. It is for this reason she is called the Goddess of Poets, she whose sisters are Brigit the Healer and Brigit the Smith. These Goddesses are the three daughters of the Dagda. The three sons of Brigit the poetess are Brian, Luchar and Var, the three sons of Bres, son of Elatha. Brigit the poetess, daughter of the great Dagda being their mother.
