Imbolc is usually celebrated between February 1st & 2nd, in the Northern Hemisphere (In Southern hemisphere around August 1).

Need some suggestions to celebrate? I got you covered.

High energy celebrations and ritual

Astral projection/travel

Divinations

Cord cuttings

Create a Brigid’s Cross

Gardening (best time to start to plant seeds)

Make resolution(s) and goal(s) for the year ahead (I'll fight to the DEATH about my personal opinion that this is a better time for resolutions than New Years itself. Best time for renewal and goal setting)

Ritual to say farewell to winter

Make bread

Spring clean! It’s the best time for it

Low energy celebrations 

Starting a manifestation journal

Burning a bay leaf with manifestation on it

Planning in your planner

Lighting a candle in honour

Make a cup of tea

Practice self care

No spoon celebrations 

Prayer

Putting on sun lamp

Greet the sun at sunrise

Rest

How you celebrate the holiday does not matter. You can choose to do any activity that feels right. These are only suggestions and remember that you're enough no matter what.

Also please note some stuff is UPG. A great book is Year of the Witch by Temperance Alden for honouring the celebrations and if you wanted to work more seasonally. It's not wiccan based and has plenty of resources for every witch.

✨🌱Witch Crafting for Imbolc!🌱✨

Imbolc is one of my very favourite Sabbats. It’s all about welcoming spring, life, green, and revitalizing. Spring cleaning is a great way to celebrate Imbolc!

So for those of you witches who crochet, this means it’s a fantastic time to craft yourself some cleaning items! Dish cloths, face pouffes, or as I’ve made (pictured below) dish mitts! Imbue them with cleansing and new growth energy! Use colours that you associate with newness and refreshment. Use flower or plant motifs if you connect those strongly to new beginnings. Have fun making, and using them!

Some other things to crochet during Imbolc, especially if you live in a climate that’s still basically in the middle of winter during this time (like mine,) are thigns for winter warmth like hats, scarves, mitts etc. Imbolc welcomes back warmpth and you can imbue them with warming energy and comfort as well as to give you the energy you need to get through the rest of the freezing cold.

Happy Imbolc celebrating and witch crafting! 🌱✨

🥀🌼✨ Imbolc Happiness Spell ✨🌼🥀

This spell was inspired by the goddess Brigid and the sabbat of Imbolc, which takes place on February 2nd, 2018. It isn’t necessary to perform this spell on Imbolc unless you want to.

♥ Custom Tarot Readings • LushyWitch Grimoire • Tips ♥

You Will Need : 🥀 Sparklers 🥀 A sigil for your intent 🥀 Pen and paper 🥀 Wind / Somewhere to bury your paper / Fire 

How to Perform :  🌼 First, take your pen and paper and write down your feelings. My favourite way of doing this is to make a brainstorm cloud that says something like “why i’m unhappy” in the middle and surround it with bullet points about what I think is causing it. 🌼 Once you’re done, meditate over what you could do to solve these problems in your life. Write down the answers you come up with and put them aside. Wait until sundown and proceed to the next step. 🌼 Go outside. If you’re deciding to throw away your negativity page with wind, fold it into an airplane and then quickly start the next step as it flies away. If you’re going to bury it, do this now. If you’re going to burn it, throw it into your fire and quickly start the next step as it burns. 🌼 As you perform this step, ignore the paper. Light your sparkler and start drawing your sigil in the air with the light. The best sigils for this would be “happiness”, “peace”, etc, but if you have a more specific intent in mind than just happiness, that will work perfectly as well. I have some sigils on my blog here. Continue this step until the sparkler burns out. Repeat as you feel necessary, sparklers usually come in packs of six. 🌼 Put out any fires you have going before going back inside. As you go to bed tonight the universe will be in the process of manifesting something in your favour to aid you as you work towards your happiness. Happy Imbolc ! ♥
