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.

Ready to welcome the first stirrings of spring with a feast of light? In this post, (link below) you’ll find a round-up of Imbolc food lore and recipes celebrating the arrival of the “bright” or “exalted” one, the Gaelic/Celtic goddess Brigid (Brigit, Brighid, Bride, Bridget, Bridgit, Bríde) who ushered in the light half of the year -- and promised the return of the season of plenty. This meant a great deal of food magic to help things along! All forms of light, heat, and illumination were sacred to her so Imbolc was marked with bonfires, blazing hearths, and a candlelight feast of sacred dishes filled with the fertilizing power of the sun. From seeded cakes to oat bannocks to barley pies, to golden pancakes, and creamy libations, these foods ensured Brigid's blessings for a bright, lucky, and prosperous new year! https://gathervictoria.com/2016/01/20/midwinter-feast-of-light-reviving-the-magical-foods-of-imbolc/
