Imbolc/Imbolg

Imbolc or Imbolg, also called the Feast of Brigid or Candlemas, celebrates the approach of Spring. The term "Imbolc" means "in milk" and at this time pregnant sheep begin to lactate. This is one sure sign that spring is coming soon. Although the days are getting longer, this is still the heart of winter.

Hi folks!
This is Sandra inviting you to our upcoming celebration of Imbolc.

Where: At Sandra's  
When: 6:00 PM, Saturday, Feb 2nd, 2013 

Things are drawing together fast. Here is what we have planned so far for our activities 

MEET AND GREET

I know many of you have missed each other all winter and want a chance to make new friends in the community. So, hopefully, there will be time to be your old chatty self. 

BURNING OF THE CANDLES

Please, bring any candles from rituals already done from which you want to disperse any remaining energy by burning them completely. They will be placed on the altar and allowed to finish burning. You may wish to bury any remaining scraps that can't be burned. This should be quite pretty if we don't have so many, that we burn the place down! Yikes! Bring on those candles, anyway. LOL! 

MAIN RITUAL

This ritual will be for for purification or banishing. Imbolc is a day that we would do major spring cleaning mentally,spiritually and physically, getting rid of the old in order to make room for the new. 

FEAST!!!! 

Please, feel to bring a dish to share if you wish to and are able. In no way is this required. What we really want is YOU and the pleasure of your companionship as we celebrate. Traditional foods for Imbolc are all dairy products, Curries, Onions, Chives, Spiced Wine, Seeds, Herbal tea.

BLESSING OF THE TOOLS 

If you have ritual tools, that you have not yet dedicated or that you want blessed at this time, please bring them so we can share in your joy at their dedication and blessing.

IMBOLC READINGS

We will have a reading to help with our appreciation and understanding of the purpose of this Imbolc celebration. If you have a personal favorite you want read, please reply, so we can get that in the program, too. This celebration is for you folks! 

PLANTING OF A SEED

We will each plant a seed as a symbol of our hope and belief, that there will be goodness in our future. 

LOVE DIVINATIONS
