Imbolc is on February 2nd this year. It is an ancient holiday that falls half-way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and you may know it better as St Brigid’s Day, Groundhog’s Day or Candlemas. This is one of my favorite days as it is noticeably lighter and you truly can start to feel spring in the air; early blooming flowers begin and chickens start to lay again.
I like to make honey cakes, cook a big dinner, that includes whatever greens I can find in the garden and if we have enough eggs, make a nice herbed omelet. Ordering seeds, planning new garden beds and dreaming of hot summer days are other great Imbolc activities!
I'd love to hear from you!
