Imbolc: Rituals, Recipes & Lore for Brigid's Day, by Carl F. Neal
Imbolc — also known as St. Brigid's Day — is a time to awaken from our months of introspection and start making plans for the future. This guide to the history and modern celebration of Imbolc shows you how to perform rituals and magic to celebrate and work with the energy of the re-awakening earth.
Within the pages of this book you'll learn how to make a traditional Brigid's cross from reeds, as well as soda bread and your own butter. Contains rituals, recipes, lore, spells, divination, crafts, correspondences, invocations, prayers, and meditations... all related to the first stirrings of spring in the Wheel of the Year.
This book is part of Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials series, which explores old and new ways of celebrating the seasonal rites that are the cornerstones of the witch's year. But the book is fascinating even for those of us who are not witches, and is very useful for helping us all connect with traditional ways to celebrate the seasons throughout the year.
