Wheel of the Year: An Imbolc Ritual Celebration

Imbolc

Of new beginnings
Incubated deep within
Rousing, quickening

Facilitated by Catherine Mangan

Come join us in Circle, where together we will create Sacred Space and celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year to the season of Imbolc.  Imbolc, translated as “in the belly” in the old Gaelic language, corresponds to other holidays in the Celtic and northern European traditions, such as Brigid’s Day (goddess and saint), and Candlemas. The beloved American holiday of Groundhog Day is also enjoyed during this time. Imbolc is celebrated on February 1-2 and falls between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It has been celebrated as a Celtic festival since ancient times. February is a time of darkness, deep cold and ice in the northern hemisphere, and yet we sense the very first stirrings of new life deep in the Earth. In our Sacred Space, infused with reverence and mirth, we will share rituals, symbols, stories, guided imagery meditations, simple crafts, music, drumming, food and drink as we gather in hope for the return of light and warmth to our world.
