Imbolc

The 2nd of February 2004
By: The Lady Natasha

One of the four major Sabbats, Imbolc brings the end of the Winter Season. Spring shall be within the horizon.

Now is the season of purification and cleansing. It is now a good time to clear your house of items no longer needed to allow room for the news things that need to come into your lives.

A thorough cleansing of your home includes the windows, beside and under the fridge? turn the mattresses, dust your books and collectibles.

Lemon oil works wonders on wood surfaces, pine in the bathroom, and lavender added to the laundry will bring upon a fresh-newness to your home.

Now? cleanse your sacred space. Light a sage stick to first smudge your space?allow the smoke to billow throughout your home using a fan, or feather to guide it. Use caution for any stray sparks as you move about.

With your Besom in hand, now walk you space, sweeping outside any remnants of the Winter.

Altar ~ Candles: White, Red and Black. Dragon's Blood incense (Brighid) is a Fire Goddess), Frankincense, Sandalwood, Birchwood, Blackberries and Willow.

Imbolc, also known as The Festival of Brighid, (Pronounced Breed). Brighid is a Triple Goddess, a Celtic Goddess of fire, poetry, and healing.

My initial introduction to the wondrous publication; The Willow, has been threefold -

As my travels home found frequent visits to that of the Rainbow Bridge - then, was introduced to Debi LeFaye... and through her now onto The Willow publication.

The Craft has been, and continues to be an integral guiding light within my life... Goddess has directed me to that peaceful and serene path known as life.
