Imbolc 2022

January 10, 2022 0 By Saranne Mallinson

Imbolc starts on Monday 1st February 2022

1st and 2nd February is Imbolc, where we mark the end of winter and honour the goddess, Brigid.
It is traditionally the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Imbolc was later adopted by Christians as the St Brigid’s feast day. It is also where spring cleaning originated from!

The next New Moon also falls on 1st February 2022. A couple of things you can do are:

Write down and release your intentions; the New Moon is all about new beginnings so it is a good time to manifest. Choose a new affirmation, take a ritual cleansing bath, create or change your sacred space.

Things you can do during Imbolc:
Plant things! Imbolc represents the end of winter, so now is the time to plan a new herb garden and start planting.
Make a doll to represent the goddess Brigid. The doll is a token of fertility. Place her next to a candle to attract fertility to your home.
Imbolc is also a good day for a love spell!
Make a Brigid cross for your altar. Make it out of materials from the garden or local woods.
Spring cleaning! And this means your mind and body as well as your home. This is the best time to have a cleansing bath ritual, or set aside time for a crystal meditation.
At sunset light a candle in every room of your home to celebrate the Sun’s birth.
