Introduction to Imbolc
Imbolc is a turning point, a reminder that we always have the chance for a restart and renewal. It’s an opportunity to give our routines new life, to make new plans, and to find new inspiration. Let’s light candles to celebrate the return of the light, celebrating the return of the sun and the spark of fire and creativity in our lives.

Imbolc and the Goddess Brigid
Brigid is a powerful symbol of feminine creativity and empowerment. Invoked to inspire creativity and craftsmanship, she is the patroness of the arts, especially poetry and smith work. She promotes creativity and artistic expression. The peaceful times spent at your craft, when concentration and meditation meld, are when her effect is most noticeable.
How to Celebrate Imbolc
In some ways, Imbolc is the ultimate introvert’s holiday. We’re inside our home with a cup of tea, away from the cold. It’s time to reflect on the past year and on our lives in general. We’re deciding on what to leave behind because it no longer serves us. We’re practicing divination, setting intentions and goals, and planning what we will plant, literally and metaphorically, in the coming spring. This is the journaling holiday! Let’s get started.
