6 Ways to Celebrate Imbolc:⠀ 1. Meet the Celtic Goddess Brigid (pronounced breed)⠀ Brigid is a Celtic triple goddess of blacksmiths, healing, well and spring waters, and poets. She is linked to her magic as Goddess of fire. She is also associated with motherhood, fertility and abundance.⠀ ⠀ 2. Make a Brigid straw doll (Brideog)⠀ To make your own Brideogs are made with straw or grasses twisted into the shape of a doll, wrapped in fabric to make a dress and decorated with the first flowers, greenery from the garden, and other pretty things you find in nature.⠀ ⠀ 3. Make a Brigid cross⠀ Soak straw overnight and weave is around a frame made of sticks. There are various styles, some with three or four arms, so get creative. Hang your Brigid cross wherever you like in your home.⠀ ⠀ 4. Feasts and fire⠀ Light a fire to recognize the returning power of the sun. Imbolc is a time of feasting so you might want to make some food you can cook in the fire, and toast some marshmallows!⠀ ⠀ 5. Spring clean your home⠀ Now is the time a good spring cleaning: get rid of anything that is cluttering your home and stagnating the energy, and scrub all the surfaces down thoroughly. Open all the windows and let some refreshing clean air flow through.⠀ ⠀ 6. Visit a stream, river or well⠀ Take a walk with family and friends to find some water near your home. If the water’s clean, splash some over yourself as you set your intention to cleanse and purify.⠀ ⠀ BONUS: Save 25% off everything on Mumbles & Things ($50 minimum) through Midnight 02/03/17 PST.

Happy Imbolc! I made a flower crown for it 💕

Bay leaf burning day 😊 Similar to a Yule tradition, you inscribe your intentions on the Bay leaf 🍃 and Burn them. Not only that but burning Bay leaves can help to alleviate stress and anxiety. The fumes are also a potent remedy for fatigue and tension. . #imbolc #imbolc2018 #paganholidaysarethebestholidays #witchesofinstagram #teacuptilly #bayleaf #burning #rituals

“The habit of a midwinter festivity had come by the dawn of history (and probably very long before) to seem a natural one to the British, and not one to be eradicated by changes of political or religious fashion. ... It was general custom in pagan Europe to decorate spaces with greenery and flowers for festivals, attested wherever records have survived.” - Ronald Hutton #ronaldhutton #stationsofthesun #imbolc #imbolc2018 #midwinter #february #tourismvernon #okanaganlife #coldstreambc #tourismcoldstream #explorebc #exploreokanagan #okanaganexplorers #nofilter #iphone6s #mlpbycaley (at Coldstream, British Columbia)
