Imbolc Celebration

Join us in Sacred Space as we welcome the return of Spring!


This holiday is also known as Candlemas, or Brigid's Day. One of the 4
Celtic "Fire Festivals. Commemorates the changing of the Goddess from
the Crone to the Maiden. Celebrates the first signs of Spring. Also
called "Imbolc" (the old Celtic name).

This is the seasonal change where the first signs of spring and the return of the sun are
noted, i.e. the first sprouting of leaves, the sprouting of the Crocus
flowers etc. In other words, it is the festival commemorating the
successful passing of winter and the beginning of the agricultural year.
This Festival also marks the transition point of the threefold Goddess
energies from those of Crone to Maiden.

It is the day that we
celebrate the passing of Winter and make way for Spring. It is also a
day of celebrating the Celtic Goddess Brigid. Brigid is the Goddess of
Poetry, Healing, Smithcraft, and Midwifery. If you can make it with your
hands, Brigid rules it. She is a triple Goddess, so we honour her in
all her aspects. This is a time for communing with her, and tending the
lighting of her sacred flame.

We will gather at 6pm and ritual will begin at 6:30pm

Please dress appropriately in ritual garb or all black or festive in the colors in Spring.


We ask all attendees to bring a covered dish or non alcoholic beverage
to share with others goods such as napkins, cups or bottled water.


Traditional foods for the Imbolc celebration include those made with
seeds, (to symbolize growth), raisins (a fruit of the Sun God), pork,
poultry, or lamb, with sides of potatoes, cabbage, onions, and garlic.

If your food item contains nuts, soy, gluten or milk products, please
attach a note to your dish for those who may have allergies. Thank you For more information callus at 5082639491
