Welcome the Light and Honor the First Stirrings of Spring with Imbolc

Written By Naomi Amaya Love

As we stand at the threshold of early February, we embrace the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc, a time to celebrate the awakening earth and the return of light.

Imbolc, observed on the 1st or 2nd of February, marks the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It's a time when the first signs of spring gently nudge the frozen earth, reminding us that life's pulse quietly beats beneath the surface, ready to burst forth.

This sacred day is dedicated to Brigid, the goddess of fire, healing, poetry, and smithcraft. Her flame illuminates our intentions and warms our hearts, guiding us from the darkness into the light.

Here are ways to embrace the magic of Imbolc:

- Light candles or a fire to welcome the returning light and to honor Brigid's sacred flame.

- Plant seeds or bulbs as a symbol of new beginnings and the growth that awaits.

- Reflect on your intentions and dreams for the coming months. Write them down, and perhaps dedicate them in a small ritual.

- Create a Brigid's cross or a sun wheel to hang in your home for protection and to invite the energy of renewal.

Imbolc is a time for purification, renewal, and setting intentions. It invites us to release what no longer serves us, making room for new growth and possibilities. As we welcome the increasing light, let us also ignite the light within, allowing it to guide our way forward.

Celebrate the magic of Imbolc, and may the light of Brigid's flame brighten your path.
