Imbolc is almost here! In just a few days (February 1st or 2nd), we’ll reach the midpoint between winter and spring! 
This festival has long been a time of renewal, light, and new beginnings. For some, it honors Brigid, the goddess (and later saint) of fertility, healing, and poetry. But even without deities, Imbolc is a meaningful time to reflect, refresh, and welcome the returning sun.
