Merry Meet
Imbolc is the first Holiday in the New Year, the first Sabbat since Yule rebirthed the Sun and Year. It is the Winter Holiday! At Yule we get caught up celebrating family and the Rebirth of the Sun. Here, now, we celebrate Winter, and Reflect for it reminds us that, Winter is now Dying. The Sun is growing in strength and Spring is on its way! Cabin Fever is almost over, haha.

It is also the Winter Festival of Lights, I know some people just say Festival of Lights, but come on you need to have one in Summer, lol.

It’s a time of Reflection, Planning. Rebirth and of course, Family Time, Fun, Joy, Dance and Celebration(every Sabbat can be described by those words)

A Personal Tradition I have for Sabbats, and since this is the Winter Festival of Lights, is a Hope Candle, to remind me that even though the road may be dark and bumpy, The Gods give us the flame of Hope to Light Our Way…to easier balanced loving times.
Also, I want to add to my practice is getting to Menorahs and using them, to light the Love Elements. I love Candles, and Fire. What Witch Doesn’t? And having a Imbolc Tree is also a dream, one of those Silver Ones, or if they have them a Purple or Blue One

Imbolc
The Winter Holiday
The Sun is now Warming Up
Soon, plants will bloom again
Snow will melt
Grass will re-grow
Tree will get their leaves back
Animals will come out of Hibernation
Migratory Birds will Fly Back
Soon the Sun will come back in all its Warmth
Warmer times are coming nearer and nearer
But now lets celebrate the Stillness and Magick of Winter
The Snow, Winter Wonderland of it all, and the Candles of Candlemas
The Hope, Magick and Love that they all bring

Merry Part, Blessed Be
