Imbolc Blessings!

Imbolc falls exactly halfway between the Winter Solstice (Yule) and the Spring Equinox (Ostara). Daylight is getting longer and early signs of spring are on the way.

Some celebration ideas include: - Going for a walk to spot the first signs of spring. - Lighting a candle to honour the growing light. - Crafting a Brigids Cross. - Write some intentions, goals for the year ahead. - Planting seeds as a symbols of new beginnings and fertility. - Have a spring clean and removing negative energy.

We have had a clear out at home today and taken some old things to the recycling centre and tonight I will be lighting some candles.

#FolkloreThursday: Imbolc 🕯️🌞 The celebration of Imbolc originates from the Celts. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). The word "imbolc" means "in the belly of the Mother," because the seeds of spring are beginning to stir in the belly of Mother Earth. Imbolc is a pagan holiday celebrated from February 1 through sundown February 2. Based on a Celtic tradition, Imbolc was meant to mark the halfway point between winter solstice and the spring equinox in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland. The holiday is celebrated by Wiccans and other practitioners of neopagan or pagan-influenced religions. Imbolc is just one of several pre-Christian holidays highlighting some aspect of winter and sunlight, and heralding the change of seasons. The celebration of Imbolc dates back to the pre-Christian era in the British Isles. The earliest mentions of Imbolc in Irish literature date back to the 10th century. Poetry from that time relates the holiday to ewe’s milk, with the implication of purification. It’s been speculated that this stems from the breeding cycle of sheep and the beginning of lactation. The holiday was traditionally aligned with the first day of spring and the idea of rebirth. After months of turning inward, of hibernation & of rest, life is beginning to stir again. Depending on where you are, you may be seeing the first spring flowers beginning to show signs of life. Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness. Just like nature is beginning to awaken after its dormant period, we are also reawakening with new dreams & exciting new plans. #imbolcblessings #imbolc2023 #spring #springseason #spring2023 #summer #summerseason #summer2023 #mystique #spiritique #mindfulness #spiritual #spirituality #blessedimbolc #mysticalsummers #mysticalsummer #februaryblessings #firstdayofspring #pagan #paganism #mystical #mysticisim #mystic #folklore #folkloreflash #folkspirits #imbolc2023 #blessedbe #Brigid #brigidsday https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKMEZFyipg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is Imbolc a pagan holiday representing the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox! This marks the beginning of the end of winter. Now the energy starts to shift to moving up from the earth preparing for spring. The days become longer, the sun shines a little brighter, and pretty soon you start to see signs of spring on the way. I’m already seeing the tips of my daffodils protruding from the earth. Even though it’s going to be bitter cold this weekend we know that before long the warmer days will return. Take some time to go within. Find those seeds of intention that you are looking to plant this spring. Today the process has begun, the work that is unseen but we know that it is happening just underneath the surface waiting for the time when spring has sprung 🌱 #imbolc #imbolcblessings #midway #midwinter #springiscoming #gowithin #setintentions #plantyourseeds #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJJigxOOyn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Painting the Gardenia, after a few days feeling sick and down today finally I took 40 minutes to paint, and that’s good because today I celebrate Imbolc! So here my flower. This is the Gardenia, maybe I will mute a little bit some edges or colors…I’m not sure, what do you think? 🤔. . . Pintando la Gardenia, después de unos días sintiéndome enferma y deprimida hoy finalmente me tomé 40 minutos para pintar, pero que bueno por que así celebro Imbolc!

In anticipation of Imbolc on Wednesday and halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox, please enjoy this wee bunch of snowdrops on the spinney down the lane. You can’t see quite yet in my photos but these will carpet the ground of this little wooded area over the coming weeks making way later for a flourish of daffodils. #springiscoming 😊 . . . #imbolc #imbolcblessings #saintbrigidsday #snowdrops #carpetofsnowdrops #springday #spinney #lincolnshire #weatherdivination #springofferings #wiccansofinstagram #wiccanlife #mothernature #hedgewitch (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAS6cvI75c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
