At the beginning of February, we are graced with the Pagan holiday Imbolc, pronounced “Im-Bulk.” It is a moment of celebration that honors the passage of time between the winter solstice and spring equinox. As the darkness of winter fades, the Imbolc blessings offer a soft radiance surrounding spring blooms inviting us to transcend into the new season.
In the past, Imbolc blessings and celebrations took form in festivals that honored the pagan goddess Brigid. Brigid was one of the most prominent Celtic gods, as she was the daughter of Dagda, the oldest god in the Celtic pantheon.
Since she is the daughter of Spring, she blessed fertility and raised prophecies, while encouraging a love for the arts of poetry and crafts. She was worshipped by Filid, the class of Celtic poets and historians. In essence, Brigid is a firey creator – melting and softening the winter ground for new ideas and manifestations to emerge.
