Following Up on Imbolc

Imbolc is past and done. I'm pleased that we got to try out some new things and expanded our Celtic horizons. We added two new Grove hallows; a rainstick for dealing with Mannannan and spear to use as a tribute to Lugh.

We used Imbolc as our ancestors did, to start preparations for the coming of Spring. We got ourselves mentally and spiritually prepared for the new season and I reported to the grove on some of the projects we will be working on in the Spring and throughout the year. They added some interesting input and we are ready to make them happen!!!

The omen for Imbolc was interesting... it does not happen often that a Seer is stumped or confused by a reading but this one took some thought. Ironically, it turns out that the message was so simple, that it was initially over looked. Brigid congratulated us on our dedication to our Grove members... and said nothing of our tributes to her. This means that as a Grove we are doing all the right things, but that we should turn it up a notch next time we deal with Brigid!

Stay tuned for upcoming events!
