Happy Imbolc/Lammas everyone!
I found a poem:
Quote:
Oimelc
Ancient White that covers All- Stars of Light that melt in sky- Winds that howl, Oreads Sing- Keep your Candles lit and high- Imbolc-tide but once a year, Make light the dell, enchant good cheer. Tip the Brew and Sing a Spell- A time of Great Growth for to tell- Come forth soon now from the Cave- But not to soon... the Winter scathes The fire warms, The waters do not run- The winds do pull the owls hoot All the Ancient Name-
In The frozen Berkshire Peaks The Sun will Wax Again.
-by Aleaf Bacharous
Is it "possible" to celebrate Imbolc even if you don't worship Brighid? They seem so intertwined.

Blessed be~
Yes. Definately. Brighid has become the popular 'model' for Imbolc, but really it is a holiday to celebrate the growing energy of the God through light, and the coming to life of the earth. Generally one might turn on their lights for several minutes to honor the God and his growing strength, as the days are getting longer and the sun is beginning to peek through the darkness. One might also take a short walk outdoors looking for any visible signs of spring. I like to see it as the festival of the maiden, marking the time of year where she prepares for new growth and renewal.

We made pancakes, garlic bread and carrot cake. If you're as bad in the kitchen as I am - pancake recipe, and the garlic bread was sliced baguettes with butter and grated garlic, slightly toasted. I'd love to give the recipe we used for the cake, but it went something like this -
1. Listen to Rosie. 2. Ignore Rosie. 3. Let Rosie do everything due to failing. 4. Wonder why cake is asexually reproducing in the oven.
... now I'm tempted to go clean everything and make Bridget's crosses.

HAPPY IMBOLC!
Edit by mod: I just to remind you that you can only get the gold for signing if you post something Imbolc/Lammas related as well. This can be a ritual, an activity, a recipe, a picture, or just anything else you can think of.
