It’s worth repeating - be very, very careful when working with fire in any way. Plenty of people have caught their sleeves or even their hair on fire while doing rituals or spells. Also, don’t even think about going to sleep with candles still lit *unless* it is in a bathtub with a few inches of water. Alternatively, you can put the candle and its holder in a large fireproof container, like an iron cauldron or metal pot, again with water surrounding the candle holder in case the candle tips over or a glass holder breaks. You should also always have a fire extinguisher in the room you are burning candles in. It should be easily accessible since there’s no point having it if a fire is between you and it.

I think lighting incense is as bold as I get with fire. I'm afraid to go any farther than that as s solitary.

My attempt at poetry: I'd walk among nature, to honor Brigid. But weather out there, tis far too frigid. Note: On Imbolc, we had a high temperature of 3 degrees Fahrenheit, and a low of -13. It is FARRRRRRRR too frigid. Some other things you can do for Imbolc: Shovel the driveway and front walk. Walk around the car and notice the corrosion spreading. Mop the floor where everyone has tracked snow and mud in. Hope this put a bit of a grin above yer chin.

Here in America we call it groundhog day. I just figured it out. The groundhog sees his shadow on February 2nd or kaliak doesn't find any wood because it's too cold and wet and so the weather ends sooner. Last week I wrote down on my calendar the day of imbolc. Just Now I checked it because of your video.

@missymae8333

4 жыл бұрын

I immediately thought of this too! If it's a bright, sunny day, the groundhog sees his shadow and hides back in his mound, keeping spring with him, but if it's a cloudy day, he won't see his shadow (no sun) and he comes out, bringing spring shortly behind him :) never thought of the pagan correlations before though!

@annmarieknapp

Me too. Yes, interesting how Groundhog day was made to coincide with Imbolc. To celebrate today I'm going to a magick shoppe that just opened up in the town I live in in the deep South of America. I am largely closeted. I don't hide, but I don't shout it from the rooftops either. So a magick shoppe opening here is serious progress. It's like Brown Vs. Board of Education just came down and schools are forced to end segregation. Okay maybe that metaphor is s little too bold, but the sentiment is the same. So hello from North Florida and the deep South where a solitary practitioner tries to worship without persecution and without fear. Just posting this is a radical thing to do, but after losing someone very close to me over a week ago I need to feel alive. Happy Imbolc folks.

There's no signs of new life until after Ostara here, but I'll absolutely be celebrating that we're in ching closer to spring! Fire energy and melting snow is where it's at for me. Maybe I'll attempt to write some poetry this year!

Happy imbolc sisters! May this one bring you a good, fresh new start in life. Blessed be

This year for Imbolg I'm going to make a Brigid dolly by dry needle felting red wool and then giving her a white cloak, and set up a bed if I can. I think that inviting her in, and setting up a place for her to rest is so good. I really feel as if fire energy from the center of the Earth is what calls to me this time of year. I also am going to plant my chrysanthemum bulb to invite the growth of the Earth into my home. Thank you for all the ideas, now I'm really pumping for Imbolg!

As always, wonderful content and presentation. Thank you for shar8ng and blessed be.

This is the best explanation I've found so far!

This may be ‘wrong’ as brigid is so connected to fire, but I’ve always felt on an intuitive level that the element of water plays a bigger part for me in this holiday. Water for me brings up associations of cleansing, purity, introspection and fertility. The defrosting of rivers, the increase of rain washing away the past, watering the soil and nurturing new seeds. I am more drawn to the aspect of imbolc that represents this cleansing, and new beginnings. Happy belated imbolc!

Thank you for being so detailed about how to celebrate Imbolc. I am finally coming out of the broom closet and want to start fully embracing the practice.

Me a high school student studying unseen poetry in english: this is boring af also me after I see this: you know I suddenly want to do my school work now

My mom became a witch recently. So now that I've got someone to celebrate with, we're celebrating Imbolc this year together.

Happy Imbolc everyone! 💚🌱🕯

Thank you for this! Im a Daughter of Brighid as well but Ive had no idea how to celebrate. This'll be my second Imbolc but first time celebrating out of the broom closet. Last year all i knew to do was light a candle. This year Ill be prepared. 👌 This video was very helpful!

Thank you for the wonderful information! Blessed be!

Longest video ever? This is the first video I’ve seen by you & stuck around til the end! Subscribed 🔔

I love imbolc! For me I follow greek deities a lot of times too in addition to slavic and celtic as those are the ones I feel connected to. My ancestors are also from these areas. For me it always reminds me of the story of persephone coming back to the earth to bring spring. 🥰 I'm glad I learned more in this video

Actually took off Imbolc this year. Want to incorporate these kind of holidays into my new age metaphysical path. I feel a kinship to them, and each time I study one I find an example of their celebration within mainstream faiths. For example feb 2nd is also ground hogs day in the states. They use a ground hog to divine if winter will end soon, much in the nature that Bridget does. Now I'm wondering how that happened.

The folklore about Brigid's coming out on a Sunny day or staying in is the same as our Ground Hog day, if spring is coming sooner or whether we're in for a long winter. So interesting how different cultures have similar lore and traditions!

My first Imbolc ❤️ helpful and interesting informations 😊 Thank you so much

this is so informative thank you for sharing this!! I have been learning a lot about Hekate, the triple goddess and other names that also represent her like Brigit! Wiccan Wheel of the Year is just so cool!

Mine and my husband's wedding anniversary is the 2nd of Feb! I am so happy right now! I love that I can celebrate both! We actually married in our home. The synchronicities are so awesome! We literally married in our kitchen! I had no idea 12 years ago today why I I picked that date. But now I know😍🤗 I was also pregnant with our daughter at the time. This is so beautiful! I came out of the broom closet around two years ago, and am still learning. But I absolutely love knowing why I married the day I did.. it's like a little gem I just uncovered. Everything happens for a reason, no such thing as coincidence. 💕
