Blessed Imbolc

February 1st - February 2nd

​

Imbolc honors Brigid, the Irish goddess of poetry, wisdom, and protection. The pagan sabbat's name means “in the belly” and marks the time when domesticated animals are pregnant with milk. It's the beginning of spring on the Witch’s Wheel of the Year and the first harvest season after Yule—the harvest being milk.

 

Energetically, it is a wonderful day for cleansing, purifying, and making way for the new. Manifestation spells performed on this day hold a lot of power.

 

Many covens initiate new members on this day.

​

During this day many witches use it as a time to cleanse, they will clean house, work and honor the goddess by making homemade plant milks and tonics, some which are infused with turmeric and rose to cleanse and purify the inner body. 

​

It is a day of meditation and cleansing and often ended by lighting candles and releasing ourselves of any negative energy and karma as they step into spring

 

In the Tarot, this card might be represented by the Magician or the Two of Cups.
