About Brideswell

Madron's Well, Kernow

The trees around Madron’s Well, in Corn­wall, Britain, are still fes­tooned with pieces of cloth, or “Cloutie” — prayers for heal­ing to the God­dess of the well.

Brideswell is an inde­pen­dent pub­lish­ing and con­sult­ing part­ner­ship between Leona Gra­ham-Elen and Richard Elen. In addi­tion to the work of Brideswell Asso­ciates, pro­vid­ing “Cre­ative Tech­nol­o­gy” con­sul­tan­cy work — in graph­ics, radio/audio/music pro­duc­tion, tech­nol­o­gy writ­ing, teach­ing and relat­ed areas — we oper­ate a microp­ub­lish­ing com­pa­ny, the Brideswell Press. Brideswell Asso­ciates spon­sors a num­ber of linked projects.

About the Name

We chose the name Brideswell to hon­our Brig­it, Celtic god­dess of fire and wells — guardian of those access points on the land where we draw up ‘the waters of life’.

‘Bride’ is one of Brig­it’s many names, indi­cat­ing her link with the feminine/masculine mys­ter­ies, where­by the ‘bride’ (the god­dess who may also man­i­fest as the mag­i­cal mare) is served by the ‘groom’, with all the inher­ent sex­u­al­i­ty of such an alchem­i­cal union. In turn, the bride hon­ours the hus­band, and togeth­er they serve the greater good. For more about the god­dess Brig­it, see Kathy Jones’ book, The God­dess in Glas­ton­bury.
