Almost One Year of Flamekeeping
I will tend Brighid's flame tonight, starting at sundown and ending tomorrow at sundown. When I work during a shift, I wear a bright orange-and-red headband as a flame during the day so that the cat doesn't knock over the flame and burn the house down. I've considered leaving on an electric light or bringing a wax plug in air freshener or nightlight to work, but so far my headband works for me.
Flametending has changed my life. It is a simple thing that connects me to the divine every 20 days. I am an independent flamekeeper for Ord Brghideach, so I am not as strict about timing and keeping a real flame going since 18 other priestesses aren't depending on me. My flametending is between Brighid and me. I try to stay at home if possible outside of work hours, unless I have Brighid's work to do in the community.
I will be renewing my commitment by contributing monetarily to Ord Brighideach and renewing my vow to Brighid. (I only promised 1 year of flamekeeping during my oath, and I plan to renew on a year-to-year basis.)
