Imbolc is a time of hope for new things and light after the darkness.
Imbolc, also known as Brigid's Day, is February 1st this year! It's the celebration of the beginning of spring and new birth/growth in all aspects of life.
It also honors the Celtic Deity Brigid, who was so well-loved by pagans that she was adopted by Irish Christianity as one of Ireland's patron saints. Brigid's domain is healing, poetry, and smithing - so she holds significance for all you jewelers out there too!
Brigid is also the Goddess of Fire, the Sun (hence the gradually lengthening days), and the Hearth (meaning your home). As a Wiccan Triple Goddess, Brigid is in her maiden form during this festival, representing her ties to fertility, pregnancy, babies, and midwives.
