Lady Victoria Eclectic Pagan's blog: "Imbolc"

created on 01/20/2007  |  http://fubar.com/imbolc/b46476

About Imbolc

Pronounced: im-bolk Also known as: Candlemas Northern Hemisphere Date: February 2 Southern Hemisphere Date: August 1 Astrological Sign: 15 degrees Aquarius Primary Focus: New growth, end of winter, rituals of purification, offerings deity, candle rituals Origins: Imbolc originated in Ireland as a holy day for Brigid, the Great Mother Goddess, who was in the form of a bride for the returned Sun God. The word means "in milk." Meaning: This is a Sabbat of purification after the shut-in life of winter through the renewing power of the Sun. It is also a festival of light and of fertility, once marked in Europe with huge blazes, torches, and fire in every form. Fire here represents Witches on illumination and inspiration as much as light and warmth. Myth: Imbolc marks the recovery of the Goddess after giving birth to the God. The lengthening periods of light awaken Her. The God is a young boy but His power is felt in the longer days. The warmth fertilizes the Earth (the Goddess), causing seeds to germinate and sprout. And so the earliest beginnings of spring occur.
