Imbolc - Candlemas - The Feast of Brigid

This sabbat is about the gathering and growing light – not necessarily heat, at this point – but the incremental increase of light each day which calls nature to stir from its cold winter slumber. Imbolc, like all of the eight Sabbats, is an observation of a turning point of the sun at this time in the wheel. This is the point where our intentions for the year are quickened or fertilized, and there are a variety of ways to celebrate and connect to this ancient tradition of sympathetic magic.
