Alright, LET’S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. My opinion that Elon Musk is a Zina got me restricted on TikTok, which just proves that billionaires have the power to silence people while stealing ideas from smarter, harder-working individuals. Meanwhile, we’re over here keeping the real world running, taking care of each other, and remembering that wealth hoarding is just another form of cowardice. But you know what? Brigid doesn’t bow to tech bros and their overpriced dystopian nonsense—she’s here to remind us that power belongs to the people, to the creators, to the builders, to those who actually give a damn. And today, we’re talking about Brigid’s Doll, aka the Brídeóg, a sacred little straw entity that has been protecting hardworking, non-greedy folks for centuries.
Who the Hell is Brigid?
Brigid is the original worker’s champion, protector of the skilled, defender of the people. She rules poetry, smithcraft, and healing, which means if she were alive today, she’d be leading union strikes, fixing broken systems, and lighting a fire under the asses of every billionaire hiding in a bunker. The Catholics knew they couldn’t erase her, so they just slapped a “Saint” in front of her name and hoped we wouldn’t notice. But we notice.
She’s celebrated at Imbolc (February 1st), the day when winter starts to back off and the first signs of life start clawing their way through the frost, much like regular people surviving under systems designed to break them. Back in the day, people honored her by making a Brídeóg, a doll that symbolized her presence and big ‘you can’t break me’ energy.
Why This Doll is a Symbol of Real Power
The Brídeóg isn’t just some cute craft project. It’s a tiny, defiant, woven middle finger to greed and destruction. People used to carry these dolls around, offering blessings and protection, because they understood something modern billionaires never will—real security comes from community, not hoarded resources.
If you made one and treated her right, your home would be safe from misfortune, negativity, and the creeping anxiety of living in a system that values profit over human lives. If you didn’t… well, best of luck with that, Jeff.
How to Make Your Own Brigid’s Doll (Because Mutual Aid is More Powerful Than Greed)
Let’s get crafting. You need straw, rushes, or corn husks—or whatever you can find that hasn’t been turned into a disposable, mass-produced commodity.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
- A handful of straw (or something natural and real, unlike the billionaire class’s understanding of work)
- Twine, string, or whatever you use to keep your soul stitched together
- A white cloth for a dress (optional, but tradition matters, and billionaires hate tradition unless they can profit off it)
- Small sticks for arms, unless you want your Brídeóg to be armless like ethical oversight in big business
- Wool or yarn for hair, or leave her bald like the tax loopholes that keep billionaires from paying their fair share
Step 2: Assemble the Blessed Straw Champion
- Form the head – Fold a bundle of straw in half and tie it. Boom, a head.
- Make some arms – Slide a smaller tied-up bundle through the main body. Give her strong arms, because she’s doing the work these parasites refuse to.
- Cinch the waist – Wrap twine below the arms, because structure matters. Ask literally any functioning society.
- Dress her up – Or don’t. Either way, she’s already more dignified than every yacht-owning greed machine on the planet.
Where Do You Put This Symbol of Defiance?
- By your front door – Like an ancient security system that isn’t selling your data.
- Near a heat source – Fire is power. Fire is life. Fire reminds the elite that they are not untouchable.
- In rituals – Light a candle, say a prayer, or just meditate on the fact that you, the everyday person, have more strength than the wealthiest coward hiding in a bunker.
- Gift her to a friend – We take care of each other. Always.
Why You Should Care About This Shit
The world is unraveling, and billionaires think they can escape it in Cybertrucks that look like they were rendered on a PS2. Meanwhile, Brigid is here to remind us that power isn’t about running away—it’s about standing together, building real things, healing real people, and refusing to let the greedy few control everything.
This isn’t about magic. It’s about remembering that we are stronger together. That no amount of wealth can replace actual human connection. That hoarding resources is a sign of fear, not power.
So go make a Brídeóg. Honor Brigid. And never forget—real strength doesn’t come from money, it comes from those who refuse to be controlled by it.
Also since I can’t post on TikTok I’ll be here and on Facebook or some other platform.
