Imbolc S/H - Spring Arrives

What is Imbolc?

Imbolc is a nature festival that marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, traditionally observed on August 1st in the Southern Hemisphere.

It heralds the arrival of spring, the awakening of the earth from winter's slumber, and is one of the four fire festivals in the seasonal cycle, celebrating the return of light after the darkest months.

The Significance of Imbolc:

• Light Overcoming Darkness: Imbolc symbolizes the first signs of spring, with the days beginning to lengthen and the promise of warmth returning to the land.

  
  

• Renewal and Growth: It's a time to celebrate the potential of new life, the stirring of the earth, and the preparation for the coming growing season.
