IMBOLC. February 1-2 ( February 1st, 2024) 


Imbolc, marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It is a time of renewal and new beginnings, as the earth begins to awaken from its winter slumber and the first signs of spring start to appear, or cleaning and organizing, as well as clearing your mind and heart.

---

Imbolc is the Celtic Goddess Brigid's rite, celebrated from the eve of February 1st through February 2nd. Brigid rules both holy well and sacred flame, the place where we heal and renew, and the place where we move towards inspired action. Her arts are healing, poetry, divination, and the forging of intention or pledge. This moment in the year is about beginning to move towards the action of the coming seasons by preparing our minds and hearts. During this time, our charge is to renew ourselves, cutting away what has died within us during the Winter darkness, what we have become ready to shed
