Imbolc is the Pagan Sabbat to celebrate Spring. It is the midpoint between the winter solstice, Yule, and the summer solstice, Ostara. It is not only a time to celebrate the new coming season, but also to celebrate life. Wiccans recognize the returning of the Goddess on this day. The Goddess is returning from her departure at Yule and life is coming back to the land from her magical touch. This year Imbolc takes place on February 2nd. Many people are already preparing for the holiday in two weeks. Gardens are being prepared, plants and seeds are being chosen, also, most are looking forward to harvesting in the fall. This is possibly one of the most important days on the year in the Pagan religion. Blessed Be and I hope your Imbolc, whether you recognize it as a holiday or not, is full of life.
The Earth, as of 2012, is the home of 7 billion people. Acceptance is necessary to live happily in this world.
