Imbolc
This is the time on the Wheel of the Year at which the return of the light is celebrated and springtime's promise is renewed!
It is traditional to celebrate with white or light colored candles, either in a circle or in a procession. As we contemplate the light, we contemplate the the cycles of life, and the coming of the fresh breezes, warm sunlight and new plant and animal babies that are just around the corner.
Actually, sheep are giving birth around this time of year, and Imbolc celebrates the lactation of the ewes. Although a cold and snowy time of year for baby lambs to be born, with their arrival we know that spring can't be too far behind.
This year, Brian and I celebrated with our new friends Emerald and Leanne. We cleared away some cobwebs that lingered from the past year(s), and drew in positive energies towards that which we are working in the present.
As everything is renewed in the cauldron/womb of the Mother, we restored our balance by offering to Her our negativities for purification and transformation to positive. We can now concentrate on achieving our goals for this season and year.
Happy Imbolc to everyone, and a hope for a pleasant and prosperous spring for all!
