The celebration of Imbolc originates from the Celts. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). The word “imbolc” means “in the belly of the Mother,’ because the seeds of spring are beginning to stir in the belly of Mother Earth. Let us honor the seeds that are stirring in our own bellies as we continue to grow.

St Brigid, one of three patron saints of Ireland, is well known for forming the monastery at Kildare. She is also considered a patron saint of healers and poets, and is associated with creativity, womanhood and keeping the hearthfire lit. Her sacred flame is still maintained by the Brigidine Sisters in Kildare. In beautiful Celtic fashion, St Brigid’s story is often intertwined with the Goddess Brigid.
