Happy Imbolc! February 1 marks the celebration of Imbolc, a festival that heralds ralds the awakening of nature and the promise of spring. Based on a Celtic tradition, Imbolc was meant to mark the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland. Also known as Brigid's Day, it is a time to honor the Celtic goddess Brigid, guardian of hearth, home, and inspiration. Fire is a prominent aspect in Imbolc traditions - light candles around your house or have a bonfire outside in the crisp night air to mark the event!
