Foundations of Magick: Imbolc

Welcome to the month of initiation, infancy and inspiration

This month marks the threshold into the air season, and it is a magical, beautiful month which includes the celebration of Imbolc. The energy of the earth is just emerging from the depths of winter, and it has a precious and delicacy to it. Life is courageously making new ways out from below the ground. We are called to clean and clear out the stillness of winter with deep breaths in the fresh, crisp air. This audio is the main content for the month, so you will want to start it when you have a journal ready and at least 45 minutes.

This audio includes:

A welcome; Grounding Meditation; Intro to the Element of Air; Holy Day (Imbolc); Herb: Rosemary; Celtic Tree: Rowan; Closing Blessing

*For more details and visuals about the Celtic Trees I mention in the audio, I recommend “The Celtic Lunar Zodiac” book by Helena Paterson.

Feel the fresh sprouts pushing through the soil.

All the fire festivals mark a mid-point between the equinoxes and solstices, and as Imbolc is the point between Winter Solstice (Yule) and Spring Equinox (Ostara), it ushers in the spring months. This month marks the beginning of the inspiration of the air realms both internally and externally. Our handout below echoes some key energies and aspects of what is mentioned in the audio, and it also adds more details and organization for practices, crafts and grounding into the season.

I’ve also included a recipe for our herb this month: Rosemary. I do hope you enjoy a ceremonial cup of tea with The Dew of the Sea.

Take a journey into the energies of Imbolc.

High Priestess Tiffany Grimm has recorded a profound guided journey into the heart of the Celtic landscape that will bring the magick of the Imbolc season to life in your heart. To prepare for this 20-minute meditation, sit or lie comfortably near your altar or in a private space outside. Bring a candle if possible, and have your pen and journal ready to record insights after.
