The Focus of this Festival: Imbolc is at time of the quickening of Spring still hidden deep underground. The energy of the season is gathering, gathering ideas, resolve, resources, or gathering steam, all will be required as we turn back to the outwardly energetic months of summer.

In this gathering, we will learn all about the matriarch of the Celtic lands, Brigid whose feast day is celebrated on February 1st. Was she a Catholic saint or goddess who predated Christianity? The lore of saint and goddess are completely twisted together. One thing we can say is that Brigid is whoever we need her to be!
