๐ฅ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ข ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ ~ Brigid's day. A season of regeneration & Incubation of ideas!
Imbolc celebrates the sun's turn from the darkness of winter into the light of the coming spring. The original word "Imbolg" means "in the belly", as during this time, the earth is pregnant and expectant - but barely visible - like the gentle curve of a 'just-showing' pregnant belly!
Imbolc is the promise of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awakening and life-force stirring - from this point forward, it's the journey of rebirth and new beginnings.

This cross-quarter celebration is associated with the Celtic Goddess Brigid ~ the goddess of fire, the eternal flame, fertility and creativity, who you can call to guide you through the dawn, as the darkness is now behind us, and the inner fire is beginning to ignite within, too.
