Tomorrow we celebrate Imbolc and the Feast of the Goddess Brigid. I'm bringing you everything today because tomorrow is also our February Full Moon and the first of the month. All the information for the first of the month and what to expect in February will come to you on the second! It's going to be a busy few days with information for you!
It's time to celebrate the turning the Wheel of the Year again. At Imbolc we celebrate that the Earth is getting ready for Spring to return and the return of our light. Some of you may be starting to see signs of life stirring and perhaps even the first snow drops coming up through the snow. Here is Massachusetts I find that the snowdrops usually start coming up a bit closer to the end of February. Our Spring Equinox and the official return of Spring is on March 20th this year. Where I live it's really too cold right now this year and we have too much snow. Hopefully the temperature will shift soon and the snow will melt. Even if you don't have any flowers starting to come up yet, right now we can enjoy the days getting longer. I know where I live we are enjoying that the sun is finally setting after 5:00 again. Some of those winter days can seem quite long when it's dark before we can get dinner on the table. I'm definitely looking forward to Daylight Savings time on March 8th this year. I always love having the sun set an hour later.
Today we celebrate that energy that is stirring deep inside the Earth as flowers and new life get ready to greet us. As the Earth prepares for new beginnings so should we. Start thinking about what you want as you move through the year. What energetic seeds are you getting ready to plant? For those of you who have gardens you may be getting ready to plant some seeds for the Spring now. We will be starting to get our seedlings going here soon! I always find it so exciting to start planning for our Summer deck garden. I miss it during the cold months. Remember that when you plant seeds you can also plant the energy of your desires. It's always great to incorporate a little energy work with your day to day activities where you can.
"New life is stirring beneath the ground
Mother Earth's treasures excited to be found
the earthy smell of spring starting to arrive in the air,
with a slightly warmer breeze to gently blow away your cares
Take some time to spend in the warming rays of the sun.
and plant seeds now for what you wish to come"

We are also celebrating our Goddess Brigid today. What I love about the Goddess Brigid is she is the Goddess of creativity and inspiration. She encourages you to learn and explore the world around you. She brings you creative energy to assist you in your life and inspire you. For those of you who love art or are artists you will notice that you are drawn to create over the next few days. Honor that by painting or drawing something this weekend or participating in any other art form of your choice.
In Kildare, Ireland they still celebrate this amazing Goddess today. The fires dedicated to her were originally attended by nineteen priestesses. Today they are attended by nineteen nuns. If you are wanting to learn more about the Goddess Brigid I have an article for you here: The Goddess Brigid.
Have a Blessed Imbolc!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
