Yesterday was Imbolc. It is a day that belongs to the celtic goddess Brighid (pronounced Breed). She is over home and hearth, poetry, healing, and fire. She is often viewed as a triple goddess and held in the highest honors of Goddesses and Gods.
Imbolc represents the time of the Wheel of Year when the first signs of Spring are upon us. The ice is thinning, the snow is melting, and the days are starting to feel a bit warmer. It won't be too long before the first flowers, like the daffodils, make their grand appearance to remind us that the cold and quiet of the winter doesn't last forever. Soon we'll be turning over the soil in our gardens to prepare for our first planting time.
So light the fireplace and a few candles while the Earth and our souls shake off some of that winter freeze and welcome the coming light!!
