Brigid
Brigit, Brigid or Bríg (/ˈbrɪ.dʒɪd/, /ˈbriː.ɪd/, "exalted one") was a goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. She appears in Irish mythology as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the daughter of the Dagda and wife of Bres, with whom she had a son named Ruadán.
It has been suggested that Brigid is a continuation of the Indo-European dawn goddess. She is associated with the spring season, fertility, healing, poetry and smithcraft. Cormac's Glossary, written in the 10th century by Christian monks, says that Brigid was "the goddess whom poets adored" and that she had two sisters: Brigid the healer and Brigid the smith. This suggests she may have been a triple deity.
Saint Brigid shares many of the goddess's attributes and her feast day was originally a pagan festival (Imbolc) marking the beginning of spring. It has thus been argued that the saint is a Christianization of the goddess.
Familial relations
She is identified in Lebor Gabála Érenn as a daughter of the Dagda and a poet. The same passage mentions that she has two oxen, Fe and Men, that graze on a plain named after them, Femen. She also possessed the king of boars, Torc Triath, and Cirb, king of wethers (sheep), from whom Mag Cirb is named. As the daughter of Dagda, she is also the half sister of Cermait, Aengus, Midir and Bodb Derg.

Crazy
by: BirgitLyrics: Birgit Schuurman
At school I never fitted in
Just did not care when others did
Did not want to belong
Without it I felt strong
I did not need confirmation
They said she's strange
But I'm just crazy
It's the best word that I know
Couldn't please me more than telling me
I'm crazy and I just scream it loud and loud
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy, oh yeah
Everytime when I meet faces unknown
I just wanna know all about them
Ask them about their lives
Their fears, their fantasies and lies
A chat with me feels like interrogation
They say she's strange, she's different
She's nice in her own peculiar way
But I'm just crazy
It's the best word that I know
Couldn't please me more than telling me
I'm crazy and I just scream it loud and loud
