And the cup and plate with the milk and buttered bread for her and her cow were frozen solid the next morning! But Imbolc is a holy day of change, as Bride herself is a goddess of change. Take a block of iron, the firey furnace and some muscle and create beauty and usefulness. May Bride bless you abundantly, Hecate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-22303353291013745732009-01-15T04:11:00.000-05:002009-01-15T04:11:00.000-05:00This is a beautiful post, and one that comes at a ...This is a beautiful post, and one that comes at a time when I really needed to hear it. Imbolc has usually been my least-inspired celebration, as well, but this post might help that change this year. <BR/><BR/>I'm usually a lurker and not a commenter, but I just wanted to let you know that it really made my night to read this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-32986865352030071542009-01-15T02:54:00.000-05:002009-01-15T02:54:00.000-05:00I celebrated this holiday one year, not even being...I celebrated this holiday one year, not even being of the faith. But I'm very much tied to nature and its rhythms. <BR/><BR/>So I brought in a bowl of snow and the apparently dead branches of forsythias and the seeds that I was going to grow indoors. And they made a festival.echidnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679020215025555419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-39785660311179324192009-01-14T14:00:00.000-05:002009-01-14T14:00:00.000-05:00Being descended of (possibily depressed) Norse and...Being descended of (possibily depressed) Norse and Welsh, lol, we will celebrate a peculiarly Nordicized Lupercalia in February with an Asatruar group hosted here.

There is a specific point that is passed. It may have to do with the speed that the daylight is growing. I googled with no luck. I find when I know what is actually physically happening i can vibrate with that energy - so I will continue searching for this and let you know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-28244462212076408182009-01-13T19:54:00.000-05:002009-01-13T19:54:00.000-05:00Dear, dear Hecate, How do I love thee, your blog c...Dear, dear Hecate, How do I love thee, your blog carries me to wonderful places.
