🕯️Imbolc/Brigid Aesthetic🦢

February 1th-2th

Imbolc or Candlemas is the first Sabbat of the year.

It is dedicated to Celtic goddess Brigid🔥, goddess of fire, inspiration, home and blacksmiths.

In the wheel of avalon, the one I follow for my rituals during the year, she represents the goddess as the Maiden, the first step of the life of a woman and the life of the goddess herself.

During this period in the wheel of the year, the Goddess is a young mother and the God is a little toddler.

As she represents a young life, so does February, where Spring officially starts to take over Winter and a new life begins.

Her symbols are the Swan, the fire, the Brigid Cross and the cane with a snake wrapped around it.

During this day it is good tradition to consume milk based foods (to honor the baby-God) and spiced foods to represent the fire of Brigid🔥

Personally I adorn my altar with a glass full of white salt or snow to represent the snow who begins to melt, rosemary and lavander and I light up a white/cream candle with a milk/honey/vanilla scent.

Have a blessed Imbolc everyone!
