Today marks, Imbolc, or Candlemas, the stirring of Spring. http://www.schooloftheseasons.com/candlemas.html We are half way from Winter Solstice, to Spring Equinox. The Light gets brighter every day. It’s a time of awakening deep in the Earth. The belly of the Earth stirs. What stirs in your belly? What needs preparation for creative birthing? What is awakening in you?
Also, this the celebration of St Brigid.
“February 1st is the feast day of St./Goddess Brigid, who began her life as a pagan goddess and ended up a Christian saint. She was a fire and fertility goddess. In her temple at Kildare, vestal virgins tended an eternal fire. On her feast day, her statue was washed in the sea (purification) and then carried in a cart through the fields surrounded by candles.”(YOu can read more on the above website, about all this)
Candles burning bright
Surround the sacred stirring
Spring gives her whisper
In-between seasons
Celebrate awakening
Seed pushes through dark
Give quiet reflection
Give notice to what stirs deep
To the half way there
What lays deep brewing
Knows the tended fire of life
Fears no winter freeze
