    I love snow drops. I grew up in New England, and right up until she passed, my mother would always call to tell me when the first snowdrops appeared in her garden.

    My cat hopped onto my shoulders to watch with me. We won't have any blooming flowers until April in my area, but I will definitely be cleaning away and feverishly planning my garden.

    As a wiccan, I feel very alone, I dont know anyone that is a pagan, so finding you is very helpful, and I feel as If I have found my family. (Your also British like me!)

      Hope you're well? I'm not wiccan, have hereditary & more traditional, but, us sisters should stick together. I'm in lincs. Ginny always gives sound advice! I'd recommend going through past videos! You're definitely not alone! Always here if you want advice or a chat! Take good care! Blessings!

      Don't feel alone, sister, just follow your path. If you want company, try to find some wicca covens in your area in the internet, or visit some esoteric shop and ask around. Also there are a lot of good pagan and wicca channels on UA-cam.

    After cleaning out the stove, I set my intentions, will burn herbs, flowers, small amount of honey, different woods, then, next morning save the ashes for future blessing/ fertility spells!🔮

      That's brilliant! Light the fire afterwards with your intentions! Use the energy produced to manifest! I will add herbs, flowers, different woods. You can also then keep the ashes for future spells!

    Some traditions will base their dates of Sabbats on moon phases which will give slightly different dates.

    I’ve only seen you for the first time today (Thursday, 26th January 2023), and I LOVE this video. You’re great at explaining what Imbolc is (I’d been pronouncing it as Im- bolc) until now), plus you’re so lively and friendly. Thanks to UA-cam for recommending this video, and thank YOU for making it x

    I really feel that I live far north watching this video, middel Norway. It will be months until we can see snowdrops in our garden, and there is still a lot of snow, and yet more to come. April is more the month were the vinter loose to spring and summer. So celebrating spring 1.-2. of February is a bit odd.

    I love how you added the detail that a sabbat is supposed to be celebrated starting the night before into the day. SImilar to how a Jewish Shabbat is celebrated from sundown to the next sundown. Just to note (for the Northern Hemisphere):
    Imbolc (1-2 February)
    Ostara (anytime between 20-23 March, always start the night BEFORE the first day of Spring that year, for 2024 that will be 19-20 March)
    Beltane (30 April-1 May)
    Litha (anytime between 20-23 June, always start the night BEFORE the first day of Summer that year, for 2024 that will be 19-20 June)
    Lughnasadh (31 July-1 August)
    Mabon (anytime between 20-23 September, always start the night BEFORE the first day of Autumn that year, for 2024 that will be 21-22 September)
    Samhain (31 October-1 November)
    Yule (anytime between 20-23 December, always start the night BEFORE the first day of Winter that year, for 2024 that will be 20-21 December)

    Just a heads up that the pronounciation of Imbolc is exactly as it is spelled (Im-bulk). It comes from the Irish ‘Imbolg’ which means ‘in the belly/stomach’ (bolg is the Irish for stomach) :) It is important to get this correct if you are going to take parts of other people’s cultures to celebrate or observe, otherwise it becomes appropriation.
    I absolutely love your genuine enthusiasm for this, it is so refreshing on UA-cam. The admiration of Bridget/Brigid has had a renaissance here in Ireland in the last year or so as she is now seen as a Feminist icon. I think that is pretty freakin’ cool :) In fact we now have a new Bank Holiday on Bridget’s day for the 1st time this year. Long may it last! Everyone in Ireland made St Bridget’s crosses in primary school growing up,it’s like a rite of passage. Little did we realise that she was a pagan icon who was in fact appropriated by the Christians!

    Also, many wiccans and other pagans believe that God (represented by the Sun) is a child at this time (God,the sun, was reborn on Yule, shortest day of the ). The Goddess is in her young virgin maiden aspect at this time of Imbolc. 😊
