Imbolc - February 1st

On February 1st, the faintest glimmer of early springtime emerges from the frozen ground. Where hopelessness had threatened to smother us in the deepest nights of winter, there returns a living pulse. There is Hope.

On this night, in early times, the Need-Fire was alight and every home was warmed thereby. It was Imbolc: the Festival of Brigid on which the world was called to quicken. A secret gathering will take place once more among the heathen revellers who dwell in darkness. We will dance the earth awake. Our voices will breathe life into the brightening sky.
