Happy Imbolc......


Imbolc, wiccan sabbat of fire, of light. First day of spring, if you look to the natural world. Winter seems to still have a cold, hard grasp on our world, but below, seeds are stirring, hibernating creatures sleep is lightening. Spring is a mere two months away, and the earth is making ready for the next cycle to begin, soon snow drops and crocuses will bravely poke through the snow. The earth is getting ready to shake off it's heavy mantle of snow, sleep, hibernation, getting ready to breathe, expand, blossom and bloom.

Imbolc is the season of promise, it is the inhale before the next exhale, it is the certainty that the sun will return in our lives, literally and figuratively. It is a time to reconsider, reconfigure, plot out and plan out goal, intentions and dreams. Time to get start cultivating, nurturing, coxing the seeds we planted at Samhain for the next year. What intentions we sent out into the Universe at that time needs now to be tended, weeded, coddle, encouraged to grow, thrive and bloom.

It's time to tend the Garden of our Life, time to focus the Light of Life towards those intentions so that they will blossom to fruition.

What seeds have you planted, what dreams would you like to see become a reality, what tools do you need to tend your Garden?

Spring is coming, what would do you want growing in your Garden of Life?
