Before I found about paganism, I always thought the "big" holidays were hugely commercialized and so many people lost track of what certain holidays truly mean. But when I found paganism and studied these holidays, there is so much more to these than I ever could imagine. This is what I want from a holiday: meaning, celebration, gratitude, love, care, respect. Not gifts or meaningless actions. Imbolc is the first holiday I've celebrated and I couldn't think of a more perfect one to start with. The day of cleansing, restarting, and rebirth. Today I celebrate Imbolc by cleaning, both my home and my mind, spirit, and soul. My first step in self-recovery and growth is to start a personal, basic journal on my Oracle spreads. So much comes to mind when I pull a card, I can't fit everything on one page (though I tried, as you can see). --- Happy Imbolc!🕯 --- #paganism #pagan #paganholiday #imbolc #february2019 #february2 #rebirth #restart #cleansing #growth #oracle #yellow #black #bookofshadows #bos #grimoire #journal #candle #flower #lamb #micron #pilotvarsity #tombow #oracle #oraclespread https://www.instagram.com/magicjournaling/p/BtYrv4FDSAb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nwwlzmynvfda
