Imbolc / Brighid Celebration
Gather together, the light returns.
Ritual cleansing as the fire burns.
Old ways, cold days, shadows, despair,
Into the flames assembled there.
In with the sun's rays, lengthening days,
Renew life, fertility, hope, thanks and praise!
Gather together, the light returns.
Hearts filled with love, as the Wheel turns.
Goddesses Brigit, Isis, and Ewe,
Initiates three, assemble here, too.
One and all:ritual blessings bestowed upon thee.
Gather for Imbolc and together,
Blessed Be!
Rev. Pamela invites you to gather together in celebration of Imbolc and turn the Wheel of the Year!
For this fire festival smack in the middle of Winter, feed your doldrums to the flames! Bring last year's corn dolly/Brigit's Cross/other amulet to spring clean your spiritual space. Craft a new cross to honor the promise of new life, new ways, new growth. Bring a fresh dish for a potluck feast.

I am Clove, this is the pagan that took the staff for the 2nd
Midwinter Sabbat that is usual held around January 31 to Feb 6. I have
rented the Odd Fellows Hall in Sandy, for Friday January 30th at 7pm.
We will be giving honor to Winter & the weather god/desses, at the
end of ritual acknowledge the coming of spring. Volunteers and the
loan of decorations would be very welcomed and needed. For decorations
colors of winter not Yule~~ think dark blues, the colors and symbols
of snow and ice, bare trees, animals of the season, rain, thunder and
lighting, finally caves, shadows and the occasional star filled sky of
late winter. Or what I like to call Deep Winter.
I am a solitary Hedge Witch (with Druid leanings) that celebrates the
seasons I am in, not the ones coming up. In my path I give thanks and
Honor to the current cycle of seasons. The pagans of old were Turning
the Wheel ~ which is wonderful. I know that many pagans still Turn the
Wheel which is great. However many in the world not, just pagans, are
so focused on what is next that I feel moments and energies are rushed
through, dealt with or ignored like Dark Winter. The season of cold
and storms, death, transformation, rest, candlelit rooms, fire warming
our homes, slowing down and introspection, incubation…
I will share more soon about the ritual, volunteer activities and
would love input. So please if you can help or would like to volunteer
reply here or email me clove@hipplanet.com
Peaceful Deep Winter,
Clove
