Sabbat II

Imbolc (February 2)

A time of cleansing and purification

use lavender and rosemary in a pot of boiling water
to wash floors and walls
vinegar and mugwort
for windows and mirrors

cleanse body with a ritual bath scented with lavender
meditate to clear mind and hearts of any thoughts

make hand dipped candles
write Goddess-inspired poetry or paint
do any hands-on craft
to symbolize the germination of life and ideas

wish upon a coin or a crystal
throw it into a still body of deep water
ask the water spirits to bless and guard your desires
until they manifest

just before sunset
turn off all the lights in the house
Burn a single white candle to represent Brighid
knock three times on the front door and invite Goddess to enter
asking that she bestow health, success, abundance, and love
upon everyone in the house
then slowly begin turning on the lights
moving room to room
until every light in the house is on
