Happy Imbolc!

February 2

 

Imbolc is an ancient festival, Celtic in origin, and considered one of the greater Wiccan sabbats. 

It is celebrated on the night of February 1st in the northern hemisphere. 

The primary purpose of Imbolc is to celebrate Spring's impending replacement of Winter.

In this sense, Imbolc may be seen as a spiritual alternative to the secular celebration

of New Year's Eve. 

At New Year's Eve, we often see the image of old, bearded Father Time replaced with a young baby. 

Father Time represents the old, outgoing year, and the baby celebrates the year just born. 

At Imbolc, we have similar imagery; an old crone represents the outgoing year, and turns things over

to a young maiden. 

Fertility, of course, plays a part here.  The frozen earth is incapable of growing things,

just as the old crone has grown incapable of producing offspring. 

This barrenness is replaced by the warm return of Spring, making the earth once again fertile,

symbolized by the fertile young maiden.

Imbolc is a time of celebration and ritual, often honoring Brighid, the goddess of the hearth.

This is also a time of new beginnings and of purification. Celebrate the Imbolc season by performing rites

and rituals that honor the themes of the end of winter.
