Brigantia or Brighid was more than just a tribal goddess or an aspect of their Mother goddesses, she was a powerful goddess of obscure origins going back into the early dawn of universal sky gods.

Her most archaic symbol is the four-legged cross or firewheel known as the ‘swastika’, whose name is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘svasti’ meaning prosperity, from the belief that it brings good luck. It became a symbol of evil in the last century when it was reversed by the German Nazi Party and used as their national emblem or flag. There remains much speculation regarding its magical and mystical symbolism and whether the Nazis had sufficient or any knowledge of its occult powers. By reversing its true meaning perhaps they had unwittingly evoked the prime occult law of rebound by sowing the wind of fire and reaping the fire-storm.
