About Imbolc |
|
Imbolc (Also called Imbolg, Candlemas, The Feast of Brigid) is celebrated on the 2nd of February. It marks the middle point of the dark months, a time when seeds in the ground begin to grow, spring is on the way, and the light is returning. It is a time to honor the maiden Goddess Brigid, a goddess of fire, poetry, childbirth.
One of the customs of Imbolc is to place a lighted candle in every window of the house in the evening, and leave the candles burning all night, or until they burn out.
Another custom is to weave "Brigit's Crosses" to hang in the house for protection.
Imbolc is a time to celebrate new growth and new beginnings.
