How to celebrate Imbolc

Merry Meet,

I live in the Southern hemisphere and Imbolc is coming up rather soon (august 1st) and i was wondering how other people celebrate this sabbat. I am planning on planting a herb garden on that afternoon, as i have school till three fifteen. So yeah, ideas on what to do a possibly what you do would be appreciated :)

Bright Blessings,

Well, you are young so I guess you can't really do the high fancy stuff,


Imbolc is a time of celebration and ritual, often honoring Brighid, the goddess of the hearth. This is also a time of new beginnings and of purification. Celebrate the Imbolc season by performing rites and rituals that honor the themes of the end of winter.

This is a great link to a great ritual for solitary witches:

Say goodbye to winter and hello to summer with this ritual:

I find these very easy and quick. Maybe have some grape juice and some cookies and cakes to eat while done! :)

Bright Blessings and Good Health!
