Imbolc Blessings, Lughnasadh Blessings if you are in the Southern Hemisphere.
A while back wrote that Imbolc is like 3am if you imagine the Wheel of the Year as a clock face. This resonated with me deeply and has influenced my thinking ever since. Who would be getting up and starting their day at 3am? There is a lot of sleeping still to do. So if you are still feeling as if the year hasn't really got going, you're probably tuned into the rhythms of the Earth and honouring her slumber. There are a few sparks of life poking through the soil, the snowdrops and daffodils those natural early risers whose job it is to bring a little hope to the grey, cold and wet days.
Over the next week notice how your body feels and watch what is happening in nature. This is the energy of Imbolc.
