Ritual for Brigid (Imbolc)
Imbolc, Groundhog Day, mid-winter, Brigid—that time at the beginning of February when humans come together to contemplate the spring ahead and how much more winter we will have. Imbolc traditionally marked the time when the ewes began to lactate in preparation for the birth of lambs. This is the sabbat in modern paganism and the craft when Brigid is remembered and honored as triple goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft. She is the holy well and sacred flame. In the Reclaiming tradition, the sabbat of Brigid is often given a political focus, as we renew our commitments to justice and activism.
Join Tejas Web in the Yard at The VORTEX on Sunday January 29, at 3pm, for a participatory ritual in honor of Brigid. Our intention:
WE HONOR BRIGID BY REMEMBERING OUR WARRIOR, POET AND HEALER SELVES.
In this ritual we rediscover and reconnect with the waters of healing; the fires of creativity and inspiration; and the strength, discernment, courage and self-knowledge of Brigid’s forge, where transformation is made manifest.
