How I’m Celebrating Imbolg

As a Brighid devotee, I thought I’d share how I’m spending Imbolg with my partner!

I’m personally celebrating the evening of January 31st through February 3rd! Most fire festivals were more than a one day event and I didn’t want to pack everything into 1 day anyways.

On January 31st, we put out our Brat Brídes, hanging white cloths on our door.

Then we candle painted! Using little tea lights, we painted with the hot wax onto some larger candles

I had my own flame tending shift so I finished that

Today, February First, we got all of our supplies for the day and went to the park to spend some time in nature while drinking our coffees. I found a dandelion to bring home for Brighid’s altar and also some rosemary!

Then we came home and started baking some bread, specifically Garlic Braided Bread and also made our own butter

We are preparing a bit of a feast, we got some apples and 3 different kinds of cheese (baking some brie!) to go with the bread along with some mashed potatoes.

Some bread and cheese will be offered to Brighid.

After we eat, we’re going to do some Imbolg divination spreads for the season ahead

Lastly for the night, we will make a Brighid’s doll (Brideog) and a Leaba Bhríde to put her in.

Tomorrow, February 2nd, we will be walking the bounds and grounds, doing some cleansing and cleaning and then some warding around our home.

Then we will be baking some Rosemary and Lemon Curd Tassies! (recipe below) We will offer one to Brighid as well.

On February 3rd, we will be meeting up with a friend to conclude our festivities

We’re going to go to a cemetery and commune with the spirits

Then we’re going to find some natural material for making Brighid’s Crosses and do them while we’re out!

Finally we’re going to go to a local plant store and buy a new houseplant, and plant our intentions for the season while potting it.

What’re you doing for Imbolg??

Imbolc shona daoibh! (happy Imbolc to you!) 🐄☀🌱

[Image ID: / A coloured sketch of a white calf. It has a golden triskele on its forehead, and its head is bent low to the ground. It stands in a patch of grass revealed by melting snow, dotted with yellow and orange flowers. Behind its head is a golden starburst that mimics the sun. The background is a grey-blue colour, and white text above the calf reads in a mediaeval font: imbolc shona daoibh! (Im-Olk Hunna Yeev) / End ID]

In many parts of Ireland it is believed that on Imbolc, Brigid will go from house to house with her favourite white cow to bless items left outside by the occupants 🌿

Happy Imbolc/St. Brigid's Day!

This year marks 1,500 years since the death of Saint Brigid (sometimes Anglicised to Bridget), one of the three patron saints of Ireland along with Patrick and Columba. Yet it has been theorised that the legend of Brigid's sainthood may in fact be a Christianised version of the goddess Brigid of ancient Celtic legend, who shares similar attributes of peacemaking, wisdom and creativity, connections with cattle and springtime, and even the same celebratory day, with Brigid's feast day Imbolc also taking place on February 1st.

In this artwork, I depicted Brigid with a white, red-eared cow; as a saint, Brigid is often shown with imagery of cows due to her helping tend her family's cattle in her youth, but as a goddess, she is said to be often accompanied by a magical white, red-eared cow whose milk she was reared on as a child. She holds a 'Brigid's Cross' made from woven rushes, traditionally displayed over doorways of houses to protect against evil.

The goddess Brigid is also associated with blacksmithing, poetry, healing, childbirth, fire and the hearth. Furthermore, although St. Patrick tends to be better-known, Brigid's status as both Christian saint, pagan goddess and all-round icon of female strength makes her perhaps even more accessible to all regardless of faith, and certainly makes her one of the most important figures in Irish culture and legend.

Spring Equinox in the Ancient Irish Calendar

Equinox is the date (or moment) some astronomical alignments in Ireland mark as being auspicious. Not many, mind you, but some, like the cairn on Loughcrew or the two passages of Knowth, a sort of super-alignment with quadruple significance. Though the actual alignment of Knowth is disputed, it might be a lunar alignment or not an alignment at all. The equinox is far less obvious an astronomical…
