THURSDAY FEBRUARY 1ST, IMBOLC RITUAL 6:30 - 9 PM
Join Jocelyn Laferriere, The Belden Witch, for an evening of intention & ritual to celebrate the Pagan holiday of Imbolc.
Imbolc is a sabbat on the sacred Wheel of the Year that marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice & the Spring Equinox. Traditionally celebrated on February 1st & 2nd, it’s a time for celebrating the lengthening of days and sunshine, and is also referred to as Candlemas, The Festival of Lights, & Brigid’s Day.
With it’s roots in Ancient Ireland and Scotland, many Celtic & Pagan traditions would honor this time with ritual.
Although in many places (especially up here in the Colorado Rockies!) snow abounds. It may be hard to grasp the idea that Spring is just around the corner. This is a time to plant seeds, both literally and metaphorically. What do you want to nurture within your hearth, home, and self through these next few weeks of winter. Rather than thinking of these next weeks as dreary and heavy, can you transform that into using this time for introspection and the planting of new ideas and routines?
We will take part in meditation, sip a cup of blackberry & rose cacao, sit around a beautiful altar space of candles and crystals, pull oracle cards, learn altar correspondences associated with Imbolc, history & lore, how to create your own altar at home, and take part in a group candle ritual. You will leave with a handful of journal prompts to continue your ritual at home! (You know I love homework!) We will finish off the evening with a sound bath of quartz crystal singing bowls.
I can’t wait to honor the turn of the Wheel of the Year with you!
