Imbolc honours the midway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.
After the Imbolc celebrations today we begin to welcome in the first waves of Spring, interwoven into the very fabric of nature we are invited to reawaken layer by layer from the depths of hibernation from the winter months.
Peeking outwards, to glimpse towards the future and the hope of new beginnings.
We can take time at this point on the wheel of the seasons to consider the seeds that we have (either knowingly or unknowingly) planted and kept fertile during the winter months, whilst honouring our deep connection to the Earth.
As you begin to invite these seeds to sprout, to push upwards through the soil, with a gentle resolve and determination, deep trust and resoluteness, know that with love, care and attention they will bloom into fruition.
The Goddess of Imbolc is Saint Brigid. We can call in her beautiful strengths and qualities - she is a real living spirit amongst us.
Known as the Goddess of Fire, Brigid lights our path ahead with her sacred flame. Representing goodness, fertility (what is it you wish to birth into the world), generosity, kindness, poetry and prayer.
She is the spiritual elixir of all healing waters (wells, springs, rivers), new life, new beginnings, spiritual growth and prosperity. A Warrior Healer Goddess who is filled with grace.
Born at the exact moment of day break Brigid is a bringer of hope and renewal. Often pictured carrying a baby lamb representing tenderness and innocence, and a wolf by her side – having the courage to walk your true path and trust your intuition.
Her colours are green, yellow, red and white.
Crystals to keep close , Citrine, Green Aventurine, Fire Agate and Clear Quartz.
You can light a candle, meditate or spend time in nature and invite Goddess Brigid to grace your path and light the journey ahead, a journey of new beginnings, a fresh start, a new chapter - where anything is possible.
Whatever you are doing to celebrate this exciting time of the year, a time which holds unlimited potential, I hope you receive many many blessings.
