| This is the Feast of Imbolc. The Light of
the Sun in the Wheel of the Year stands in the North East, within
the Cone of Darkness. This is a time of hope and preparation.
This is the time of the growing of the Light
This Feast is known by many names to many people, for the
Truth is reflected from many mirrors. It has been celebrated
as Februa and Candlemas. Our ancestors called it by names
long forgotten, and our children will call it by names as
yet unconceived.
At this time, our ancestors saw the Sun, the weak and helpless
Child of Light, grow stronger day by day. The land still lies
in darkness, but the rule of the darkness is challenged by
the infant Lord of Light. Little by little, the skies grow
light and the blessed Earth gives forth her first flowers,
snowdrop and crocus, as promise of the Summer that is to be
when all creation will rejoice in the One Universal Light.
