She tends the triple fires of smithcraft (physical fire), healing (the fire of life within), and poetry (the fire of the spirit). Green is her color and perhaps one of the reasons she is so beloved is she is said to have invented beer in Ireland!
Her feast day is the Pagan Sabbat Imbolc (the Christian Candlemas) when the predictions for the coming Spring were made, a remnant of which is seen in the modern Groundhog Day.
She had an exclusive female priesthood at Kildare and an ever-burning fire. She had 19 priestesses representing the 19 year cycle of the Celtic "Great Year."

Fantastic scene, expresssion on the character's face is beautifuly enigmatic. The background makes it is as if she is in an alcove of light in a dark world. I also like the touch of golden "pixie dust" around the sword hilt and upon the cracked rocks.
