Imbolc (February 1 and 2) is the holy day of the Goddess Brigid. Imbolc means “in the belly” in Gaelic and refers to the quickening, the first sign of life stirring within the pregnant sheep. This Sabbat celebrates the life that is now beginning to stir and take shape, within ourselves and within the Earth. It was a time when the community came together to lift everyone’s spirits with poetry and music, remembering that we’re strongest together in community—supplies are low at this time of year, but when we gather together, there’s enough for everyone. Many small candles create one great light. If you’re alone, honor your creative gifts.
