🕯️Ways to Celebrate Imbolc 💐

Imbolc is celebrated on or around February first to welcome the earliest beginnings of spring.

🕯️Honor or welcome the sun by lighting a candle in your home (you can do a fake candle if you’re not allowed to light a real candle). If you really want to go all out, you can light every single fake and real candle in your house! 🕯️Get crafty! Make candles, Brighid’s Crosses, Brighid dolls, sun catchers, or start building a garden. Imbolc is a great time to plant seeds (unless it’s too cold outside; indoor gardens are always an option)! 🕯️Decorate your altar and/or home with crystals, flowers, stones, candles, images of the sun, or any other decor that celebrates the coming spring! 🕯️Divine your future! Get out your tarot cards, pendulum, dowsing rod, bones, or other divining tools and ask for advice or insight into the future. 🕯️Take care of yourself and your home! Do some spring cleaning and cleansing and take time for yourself. Take a bath, clean off your desk, do some easy cleaning or deep cleaning, whatever you prefer. This is a great time for cleansing and purification! 🕯️Cook and share with friends and family! Pies, cookies, bread, whatever you want. If you have the energy, you can cook a feast and celebrate with your loved ones, including deceased loved ones. 🕯️Visit a lake, stream, well, or another body of water. If you want to, dip a ribbon in the body of water and then hang it on a tree (remember to not litter; you could use a tree in your yard and later tie the ribbon off) to send a message of hope and healing! 🕯️Visit a park, lake, or forest and pick up litter. This is a great way to honor the coming of spring, but if it is too cold, you can always wait until it gets warmer! 🕯️Say goodbye to winter and start to welcome spring! You can do this through prayers, spells, thoughts, or actions. Meditation is one great way that you can do this! Cleansing, new beginnings, thriving, purification, and gratitude spells are also great ideas. 🕯️Honor Brighid if you wish to! You can make Brighid crosses or dolls, set a special place for Her on your altar or in your home, give Her a prayer or offering, or something else that honors Her during this special day.

A 2018 Witch Challenge

How many Book of Shadows have you started and either never finished, or have just recopied over and over again into new notebooks and journals? Be honest lol.

Well for 2018 I challenge you to forget the Book of Shadows. Forget rehashing the same information. You’re not growing in your path and you’re not becoming the powerful witch you’re meant to be.

A lot of us have been there. We’re never satisfied with our Grimoire or Book of Shadows and so we keep coming up with new ways to record the same information.

Instead I challenge you to keep a journal of progress. Keep track of your spells, your rituals, your thoughts. No rewriting the same correspondences that you’ve already written in 4 other notebooks. Instead learn about a subject within witchcraft that you haven’t explored yet. Create your OWN correspondences. Keep track of what works for YOU. 

This challenge is targeted at more seasoned witches who might have recently realized that they’re stuck in their path. You’re meant to grow and learn.

Try and get ONE (just 1) journal for the whole year (of course if you fill this up you can get another one lol) and just keep track of your progress. Write some badass poetry. Sketch, paint, color. Take notes and learn about something new. Write some new spells. Create NEW rituals. 

 In 2018 grow in your path, and move forward.
