The magic of Imbolc

Every year at Imbolc I like to let the sun shine in! as the wheel turns to the spring it's all about letting life flow after the dark days of winter into the light once more. This year I spent Imbolc with my family celebrating the Maiden goddess with daughters laughing and singing.. How better!
Life takes on a whole new meaning at this time of year, and joy is everlasting. We feel renewed and full of life! as the maiden goddess shines so we are healed from everything that has hurt our being. It's a time to look to the future and begin to make plans. Everything that comes to be at Imbolc is ever growing through the year as the cycle turns and comes to fruition at Mabon. So begin a new world and start a new life with joy in your heart and light in your soul. Welcome to paradise!

Imbolc Blessings!

 

 

Imbolc Blessings

 

 

 

 

With the Imbolc comes the spring,

New life in everything!

The Maiden Goddess plays her part,

She's in being now the spring doth start.

Bringing joy and peace and love so fair,

Flowers spring up everywhere!

 

 

The Muses are gathered now,

Helping Our hearts to express emotion.

An ode to the brown cow,

What a notion!

 

 

 

"Brown Cow, Brown Cow

With horns so bright

Looking out O'er the Highland night

Making sounds from deep within

Sounds of fertile Ages sing

May You be blessed with happy days

A'wandering the tracks and ways

May You have a blessed Spring

Full of Light, Life and everything

That's good for You and yours

Happiness is in little paws!"

 

The blessed Muse brings us news

Of Life and Love and Giving

Spring really is for Living!

 Happiness is in the giving

Beauty and Love are worth appreciating

Greatness of humankind

Brings to heart a good and strong mind

Wonder at the Hero and Heroine

Who brings about change

For ALL mankind!

Welcome to the magical world

Of Spring!

 

 

 

Blessings of renewal, fertility, prosperity be come to You!

 

 



IMBOLC Poem

As the blessed Spring arrives,

Flowers such as snowdrop grow,

Deep beneath the white clean snow.

Bridie, the Maiden pure and bright

Doth sing this blessed Imbolc night

Dancing through the gardens fair

To hasten blooms everywhere

Little bells do twinkle in the morn

Her copper mirror shines with the sun,

Bringing glory to everyone!

Around the holy spring and sacred well

Bride sings Her happy tale

Of healing fine o'er hill and dale

Gathering to celebrate

We do prayer ties make

Hoping for a brighter day

Singing and dancing 'ere so gay

With the colours white, yellow, pink

Pastels do our minds make think

Of the brightness of the Spring

Light and life in everything!

Brigdhe, the Maiden of Smithcraft

Brings to us Her sacred art

Casting metal in the forge

Creating from the elements

Of fire and earth

Water and Air

Beautiful creations abound

Birds sing all around

Beginning their year of nesting time

Spring-cleaning at yours and mine!

Hare, the Spirit of the Spring

Doth gentle rebirth bring

Renewing all they touch

Free they run

Through the fields

Flying with the moon

And shining with the Sun.

Merlin doth shapeshift to hare

Spreading His magic everywhere.

Let us learn to magic make

And bring happiness in our wake.

The Eagle too brings Springtime blessings

Glory, light and spirit strong

Soaring o'er the mountains all day long

Wings spread far to hold our heart

Love to us the eagle doth impart

Teaching of guidance of the soul

Spirituality will call

To everyone both big and small

Help the eagle will always bring

To those who are ready to sing!

Thank you Great Goddess for the Spring

For light and life and everything

For joy and happiness

Flower and tree

Filling the gardens of you and me

Renewal abounds for all to find

Within the soul, body and mind

Great are the days of shining sun

The year truly has begun!

Blessed Be
