I've always had difficulty with this holiday, largely because, like you, I live someplace where early February is the coldest part of winter. It's hard to imagine life stirring in below freezing temperatures and frozen earth (even if it really is, somewhere). But Imbolc as a hearth holiday.... that is something that I can appreciate. Thank you for helping me better understand this difficult Sabbat! <strong>I'm so glad you liked it! It's hard to believe, but nice to think about, that Imbolc is almost here!</strong> I really love this interpretation of Imbolc.

I’m so glad you liked it! It’s hard to believe, but nice to think about, that Imbolc is almost here!

Imbolc is one of those holidays that, for me, seems to get lost. I just bought the book Circle Round, actually for children but it was recommended to me by signmom as a great means of increasing my attention to the wheel of the year and the relationship between Divine Feminine and Masculine. You've inspired me to go hunt in it for Imbolc and start planning things to do to celebrate this holiday and season. Many blessings to you, lady! <strong>I'm so glad you liked the post. We have just started to see the "Imbolc" sky here in the past week or so -- that brighter, yellow sunshine that indicates the first stirrings of spring. Circle Round is a wonderful book!

I’m so glad you liked the post. We have just started to see the “Imbolc” sky here in the past week or so — that brighter, yellow sunshine that indicates the first stirrings of spring. Circle Round is a wonderful book! Thanks for mentioning it!

Nourishment, nurturing, birthing, sowing, renewing, giving, gratitude...all speak to me. You're such a gifted writer, perhaps you would like to try your hand at the Personal Mythology I posted about via May in the South. She wrote a loVely "Myth of May" I think you will enjoy reading. <strong>I just read it and left a comment for you. It is a wonderful myth! I cannot wait to read yours! </strong> Thank you for your beautiful post on the meaning of Imbolc and ways to celebrate and commemorate it.

Plus I bought yarn for a new sweater (and more difficult pattern). You're so right, it is a FINE time to think about those creative projects! Happy New Year my friend! <strong>Happy New Year, Denise!
