Embracing the Light: A Witch’s Guide to Imbolc

As the chill of winter lingers and the promise of spring begins to stir beneath the frozen earth, we arrive at Imbolc—one of the most sacred festivals in the Wheel of the Year. Celebrated on February 1st or 2nd, Imbolc marks the midpoint between winter and spring, a time of awakening, purification, and renewal. This festival honors Brigid, the Celtic goddess of fertility, poetry, and healing, as we welcome the growing light and the return of life to the land.
