Imbolc
Imbolc, the Winter Festival and Holiday. The Second Festival of Lights. Imbolc Differs from Yule, where the main focus is the returning Sun. And with Christmas around that time its hard not to get swept into that holiday as well. Imbolc is about Celebrating Winter, taking some to enjoy Winter, I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and around this time every year we have Winterlude, with skating on the Canal (the longest outdoor skating rink) and Ice Sculptures. It also a time of planning for spring. As the nights grow shorter to meet the Spring Equinox(Ostara) Its also a time of reflecting as well.
Colours for me On this Season on Deep Pinks, Deep Blues, Deep Purples, Black, White, Silver and lil of Gold.
Things You Can Do are
Light Some Candles to Represent the Sun Returning and the Coming Spring
Say a Prayer
Conduct a Ritual however big or small
Have a Cleansing Bath or Shower
Food to Eat, are Curries, Stews, Beef, Lamb, white bread, winter veggies, beer
Happy Imbolc...
Vesta
