Wishing Everyone a Joyful Imbolc

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are celebrating Imbolc.

Imbolc celebrates the Goddess in her incarnation as the Bride of the returning Sun God. For the celebration of Imbolc, many candles are lit to symbolise the return of light and heat represented by the Sun God. Grain dollies made from the sheaves of the last harvest represent the Bride. The Goddess and God await the return of Spring and their sacred marriage at Beltaine. Often called Midwinter, as Imbolc is half-way between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

To my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, wishing you a joyful Lughnasadh or Lammas!
