Connecting with Brighid?
I've tried to look online for ways to connect with Brighid and I found some, such as making music and art and meditation, but are there more ways?
You may call me Valerian Moon, or simply Val.

Re: Connecting with Brighid?
http://paganwiccan.about.com/ has a few Brighid craft projects. She is a hearth goddess, maybe you could work with Her when you do anything pertaining to home life. For example, I worked with Brighid briefly when I was looking for a new place to live. She is associated with Imbolc, that's certainly a good time to work with Her. Brighid, along Her two sisters (also named Brighid), were considered to be three aspects of a single deity, and thus she is considered a triple goddess. If you know of any rituals that involve working with a triple goddess, but perhaps it uses a goddess of a different pantheon, you can substitute Brighid into the ritual.
You can also study the mythology and history of Ireland and perhaps the other Celtic countries to get a better idea of how other people came to know, love and worship Brighid.
Brighid is similar to the Greek goddess Athena and the Roman Minerva, maybe you can look into their mythologies and rituals to help you find ways to connect with Brighid.

I used to work with Brighid when I followed a more Wiccan path. As Echo stated Imbolc is her feast day so you can honor her then.
She is very crafty (as in crafts, home, hearth etc) so one way is you can actually make whats known as aBrighids Cross.
Brighid is also one of the very few pagan deities that was adopted into Christianity, where she is known as St. Brighid or St. Bridget. There is actually a monastery in her name in Kildare Ireland where an eternal flame burns for her and is tended to by nuns. I think its still in existence. So you can explore the Christian part of her too, if that interests you.
As she is known for the hearth and home, you can do things like baking for her. Maybe even make a Brighids Cross out of dough and bake it as a bread? You can light a fire for her in the fireplace if you have one. If not, you can find a nice candle, maybe annoint it, charge with your intention to connect with her, and then light it every day until it burns out.
She is also known for being with, having, working with lambs. So you can do something with them maybe. I used to have a little stuffed lamb that I kept on her altar.
