After thoughts on Imbolc 2022
The name in Gaelic means, “in the belly” the first stirrings in the womb of Mother Nature. Imbolc is celebrated as the point in the year when the Goddess recovers from giving birth to the Sun. The young God grows from an infant to a child. It is a time when the growing light promises the return of springtime.
Imbolc is the time to burn the Corn Dollies that we made at Lammas for protection and good fortune through the darkness of winter. The seeds of life are starting to stir underground. We now release the energy we put into our Dollies.
