Imbolc, also known as Candlemas, is a festival that celebrates the beginning of Spring, and the coming new life – in the fields this is a time for lambing.
It’s still cold but the days are getting noticeably longer. The buds are starting to come through on the trees, and bulbs are peeking through the earth.
Imbolc represents rebirth and hope.
As the Sun’s energy continues to grow stronger, winter gives way to the growing energy of Spring.
Lammas is marked on the 1st/2nd of February.
It’s a time of planting ideas and allowing them to germinate. The life-force is stirring and brings with it fresh renewal, hidden potential, and an awakening energy. Everything begins to appear possible.
Imbolc reminds us to reclaim what has been forgotten and laying dormant. It’s a time to work with the potency of the rising energy.
As we move towards the active solar part of the year we have the opportunity to unite with our dynamic inner power to create a new beginning.
