Yes, I know, Imbolc (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) is not actually until February 2nd, but I decided I would start up a series of posts regarding the next Sabbat on the Northern Hemisphere’s Wheel.
Imbolc is celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere on February 2 and in the Southern Hemisphere on August 2.
Imbolc is also known as Candlemas, Imbolg, Oimelc, Brighid’s Day, Lupercus, The Feast of Lights, and Groundhog’s Day.
Symbols of Imbolc include: Candle wheels, grain dollies, Sun wheels, besom, evergreen sprigs, bowls of snow, and small statues of the Goddess that represent her Maiden form.
Gemstones associated with Imbolc: Amethyst, aquamarine, turquoise, garnet, and onyx.
Colors associated with Imbolc: White, yellow, pink, light blue, light green, red, and brown.
I plan on posting more posts that will include some more information – lore, recipes, etc that go along with Imbolc. Please stay tuned for these posts.
