Happy Imbolc


Happy Imbolc, pagan and non-pagan readers alike!

Today, Celts celebrate the Goddess Brigit and eagerly await the return of the spring (as do I!).

According to chalicecenter.net:

Bride with her white wand is said to breathe life into the mouth of the dead Winter and to bring him to open his eyes to the tears and the smiles, the sighs and the laughter of Spring. The venom of the cold is said to tremble for its safety on Bride’s Day, and to flee for its life on Patrick’s Day.

All I can say in celebration of this Spring holiday is that I'm ready for biking to be fun again! This past month has been rough and I'm eager for some change!
