This was done for a contest on druidcircle.org for the main page of their E-zine, Imbolc edition.So, this woman in the picture is a celtic godess Brigid (Bride) and she holds a candle (Imbolc is also called a candlemas) and a Brigid's cross which is also a symbol of this festival.

Well, since it's impossible to transfer money via pay pall or anything except Western Union (and they are bloody thieves), I'd be happy with credits in order to promote myself. :/ Probably the best I can come up with right now. It'd enrich my portfolio if nothing

Before christianity there was paganism. Most of catholic traditions and saints were once pagan before the christian church transformed them into christian. And that happened because they had to make pagans embrace the new religion. So yeah, go read some more
Thank you for the comment anyway

well i know my stuff actually so here check this passage out.
Brigid was given the *same name* as one of the most powerful goddesses of the pagan religion which her father Dubhthach practiced. In that religion, Brigid was the goddess of healing, inspiration, craftsmanship and poetry, which the Irish considered the flame of knowledge.
* the SAME NAME not the same the goddess of paganism Brigid and the saint of the Catholic church Saint Brigid are not one in the same. believe me im Catholic i know(and im not just trying to defend her this is truth which i speak)

As an agnostic, I feel quite indifferent to be honest.
Which is why I'll have to end this discussion before it turns ugly.
Enjoy
