Perfect Mother of All, give us strength to walk through this day. Hekáte, my devotion never wavers because Your blessings never cease. Thank You dear Goddess, for all You do for us.

[2013emokid]

Mother, I thank You for always shielding my family from harm. For always holding me close and protecting me. I thank You for always providing for our needs.

Ave Hekáte, thank You for loving and accepting me, even when I am not worthy of devotion to You.

Spells and Rituals

Imbolc is the perfect time to cast spells, especially ones related to new beginnings, fertility, and the hearth. Spells regarding birth and rebirth are also seasonally appropriate due to many animals giving birth at this time of the year.

Final Notes

According to an old english folk tradition, if the weather is fine and clear on Candlemas, then cold and stormy weather will reign for the remaining weeks of winter. And bad weather at the beginning of February is a harbinger of a milder winter, and an early thaw.

There are different meanings for what Imbolc means, some say it means “In the belly” because of herding animals being pregnant. But historically Imbolc comes from the Gaelic word “Oimelc” which means “ewes milk”, because some animals have just given birth.
