Imbolc

"Imbolc is derived from the Gaelic word 'oimelc' which means 'ewes milk'."

February 1st, Marks the First Fire Festival of the the New Year, following both the standard solar calendar and the principal that Samhain is the Celtic New Year (On October 31st, with the year actually starting on November 1st). Shortest Day and Longest Night of the year. When works of magick or meditations to bring light back to the world take place."

Title the page, you can write it in English or Witches Alphabet. Spelling either Imbolc or Imbolg, is standard however the traditional of "Oimealg" can also be used. Whichever you prefer.

To start this page, draw a Candle.

We are not writing a Ritual, some things should be taught and not written down. But if you choose you can record a ritual after the rest.

For detailed information read here.

First and Foremost it is a feast and celebration

Make notes on your Altar, herbs you use. Deities.Incense recipe or Anointing oil.

For me the strongest connections to Imbolc are Cinnamon, Cedar, Dragon's Blood, and Dairies. But that won't be the same for everyone. Put some thought into it. Here is another post that is a great reference.
