Imbolc (the hours before and up to dawn) Life is renewing,
the light is returning.
Imbolc is a Pagan festival which is dedicated to the return of light ans warmth to the land.
Even if the land seems barren, the life force is awakening.
It is a time for new beginnings and for emerging out of winter hibernation to
begin the work of the coming year.
Happy Imbolc to all my Northern Hemisphere friends, and
commiserations for my Southern Hemisphere friends for their festival of Lammas,
the harvest, the coming of winter....
Failte Imbolc ..........the beginning of spring....
Imbolc (also Imbolg), or St Brigid’s Day (Scots Gaelic Là Fhèill Brìghde, Irish Lá Fhéile Bríde, the feast day of St. Brigid), is a Celtic festival marking the beginning of spring.
Most commonly it is celebrated on 1 or 2 February (or 12 February, according to the Old Calendar) in the northern hemisphere and 1 August in the southern hemisphere. These dates fall approximately halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbolc
