  Ritual Journeys with Great British Goddesses

Brigantia

Picture
Brigantia is the Goddess of the Brigantes, a tribe known simply as the  “Great Tribe,” just as Brigantia is the “Great Queen”.   She is the Goddess of  the  land, the spring time, and the energy of new growth.
She is the Goddess of  the bulbs that push through frost and snow and flower regardless.  
 
She is the Goddess of the new born lambs and the very  first ewe’s milk of the year.  These are the signs that  the darkest days of  the year are over and the light is beginning to dominate.

Trollers Gill

Legend has it that the limestone gorge is the home of Trolls and the monstrous Black Dog, Barghest!

Gaping Gill

Gaping Gill is a 98 metre deep pothole into which Fellbeck falls.  Fellbeck falls into one of the largest underground chambers known, then resurges adjacent to Ingleborough Cave.

Gaping Gill, Ingleborough

Ingleborough, one of the Three Peaks

Climb Little Ingleborough, starting from the Ingleborough Caves, travelling through Trollers Gill, then walk to Gaping Gill before the ascent.

Having reached the summit of Little Ingleborough, it is not difficult to move onto the slightly higher summit of Ingleborough.  On top of this was thought to be an Iron Age Hillfort, although recent excavation evidences a more likely ritual ceremonial ground.
