On 1s t February, at Imbolg, we come to a time of transition and initiation, both a gateway and a celebration. The word ‘Imbolg’ translates from Gaelic as ‘in the belly’ inspired by the swollen bellies of the pregnant ewes. This is a time of empowerment both physically and spiritually and invites us to awaken our potential. Then we can prepare for graceful and full expression of what has been gestating throughout the dark Winter months.
