Candlemas/Imbolc - 2nd February
Imbolc, also called the Feast of Brighid, celebrates the approach of spring. The term "Imbolc" means "in milk" and at this time, pregnant sheep begin to lactate. This is one sure sign that spring is coming soon. Although the days are getting longer, this is still the heart of winter and Brighid, the Celtic Goddess of healing, poetry, and smithcraft is honored. Her gift of smithcraft comes with an added bonus - fire. This may be the reason some celebrate this day as the day of the Celtic Fire Goddess. This is a time of new beginnings and growth. At this time, think of your goals and dreams for this year that you will accomplish. At this time, greet the pregnant Maiden Goddess and give Her thanks for soon She will give birth to the spring.
