February is a season of purification and rededication

Leaning into Imbolc: a focus on hearth and home
|
Brigid’s influence here is far-reaching, as is the gentle determination of her spirit. I believe that it is her nature to be more pleased by action than by words or acts of worship, and across the many forms she takes or names she holds, she is aware and approving of the renewal of interest in what some consider a simpler life.

In Ireland, Pagans commemorate the first celebration of Brigid’s Day as a public holiday. Meanwhile, in the U.K., the White Spring Temple in Glastonbury holds its traditional Imbolc celebration.
