Blessings at Imbolc

Brigid is coming. Her gentle caress across the land stirs creatures and plants from slumber. Her warm fires thaw the ice, the cold water trickles into the earth. She nudges us from our sleep; “time to wake,” she calls, “the world is waiting for you!” Dare to vision! Dare to use your voice! Your gifts […]
