🌱 Imbolc Plans 🌼

Today (2 Days Before)

🔨 Cut open 10, gallon sized plastic jugs thats I’ve been saving & poke holes in bottom

🌈 Paint them~

Tomorrow (1 Day Before)

🌱 Purchase seeds & potting soil

🌾 Mix dirt w/ egg shells and fruit scraps & prep recyled jugs to be flower pots

🍯 Buying candles & maybe some flowers for the house

Imbolc ( Feb 1st )

☀ Wake up & open all the curtains to let in the light (weather permitting)

🍋 Taking a citrus bath & drinking lemon water throughout the day

🍊 Things like grapefruit, eggs, seeds, oranges, (almond) milk, potato stew, and lemon bars are on the menu!

✨ Honoring Frejya by leaving out food stations in known stray cat hubs

🍡 Filling empty citris fruits with seeds and leaving for birds & squirrels

🌄 Illuminating the house with candles at night

I’m so ready to signal to spring that its time to come out now. Its been bitterly cold and I look forward to sunny days and flower buds ahead. I know I have a lot planned but if you’re a baby witch, in the broom closet, or just busy- don’t be afraid to celebrate in little ways. I’m fortunate enough to have my own home with someone who is willing to celebrate the holidays with me, and Friday off work to do it.

If you need an idea for practicing in a much smaller way: eat your favorite citrus fruit and then leave bird seed or a candle in the peel. Or just offer the peel up with a vigorous yeeting into nature so spring can find her way to you.

What are your Imbolc plans?

pine trees and witchcraft

as winter months (and yule festivities) approach, pine becomes an excellent component of green witchcraft. evergreen trees, of course, symbolize immortality and perseverance. they are a great addition to any spell involving resilience or overcoming obstacles.

hanging a pine branch above your door will invite good energies, be it spirits or friends, into your space. placing pine above your bed will ward off illness.

throw pine into the fireplace (or bonfire) to summon protective energy.

pinecones work as a health and fertility charm.

pine is also an excellent smoke cleanser for purifying and warming a space’s energy.

pine trees in general are associated with divine harmony, peace, releasing guilt, and clarity. for this reason, meditation under a pine tree (or with a pine sprig in your hand) can be very healing and beneficial spiritually.

whether you have a pine tree in your home this season, you take a walk among some evergreens, or even just light a pine-scented candle in your bedroom, its wintery magick is wonderful.
