Imbolc



Imbolc, one of the cornerstones of the Celtic calendar, also called An Fhéill Bhride (The Feast of Brighid), is mid-way between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, and marks the beginning of Spring in the Celtic calendar. It literally means 'in the belly' for in the womb of Mother Earth there is new life stirring. Brighid the Cailleach bathes in her sacred well and becomes Brighid the Caillín, the Maiden. The success of the new farming season was of great importance and rituals were performed at this time to harness divine energy that would ensure a steady supply of food until the harvest. Like many Celtic festivals, Imbolc celebrations centred around the lighting of fires to celebrate and aid the increasing power of the Sun over the coming months.
