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.

I am Naomi Amaya Love, Mystic Medicine Woman, Priestess, and Animal Communicator devoted to guiding you through the pain bodies and into the holy, whole, and healed self.

For more than three decades, I have walked the path of the healer. I have held thousands of ceremonies, guided others through life’s initiations, and witnessed the beauty of true transformation. My own life has been one of fire and devotion. I am the alchemy of trauma, shaped by the sacred fires of experience and guided by grace. The path has taught me that healing is not theory but embodiment, a living practice of returning to the essence of self. Every wound I have tended in myself has become medicine that now serves others.

I walk with those who feel the call to live in devotion, to move beyond grief, fear, and survival, and return to the truth of who they are. My role is to hold the sacred field of remembrance so you may live from your wholeness and strength.

Ceremonies, sessions, medicine days, retreats, mentorships, and apprenticeships offer pathways for healing and awakening. Each one meets you where you are and supports you in returning to harmony with your divine design.

I am attuned to the languages of the subtle, Earth, animals, plants, and the unseen. I listen for what has not been spoken and translate the wisdom that longs to be remembered. This is the bridge I offer, between the visible and invisible, between pain and divine embodiment.

Where the not-self dissolves, your true essence awakens. A sacred return to your holy, whole, and healed self.

Whether we meet in person or virtually, every experience is a ceremony of remembrance, a return to coherence, peace, and sacred alignment with your life.

I invite you to journey inward and awaken the holy, whole, and healed self within. Together we weave your dreams into the fabric of your life, leaving a legacy of truth, beauty, and grace.

In Devotion,
Naomi Amaya Love
