Midsummer, we have arrived at the longest day and the shortest night of the year. This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements.

Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year.

However before we welcome the return to the Dark side of the year, and acknowledge this great turning point of the Wheel, we celebrate!

Just as the seeds we have sown in the earth begin to germinate and grow, so may the seeds of new ideas, hopes, and dreams we plant in our own lives begin to flourish, and our own personal growth continue in this next year’s cycle in life!

We celebrate Imbolc (also known as Candlemas or First Light). This is a festival of light at which we focus on clearing away winter and welcoming spring - a time of creativity, new possibilities, and metaphorical rebirth. It is the time of the Virgin Goddess and the young God, and was traditionally a Celtic Fire Festival dedicated to the Goddess Brigid.

At Imbolc candle magic and magic to initiate new projects and new beginnings is appropriate. It is the time to let go of the old and embrace the new, to be open to inspiration, and renew hope for change.
