Happy Imbolc!

We’re here! The sun really is coming back again! I love Imbolc and the shifting energy, all that new potential, and the increasing lighter evenings and indeed mornings.

I went and saw the sunrise from an aligned spot, only that the sun didn’t show itself until later in the day, but the boost was felt nonetheless and I did manage to get out in the sun later in the day and found myself at the holy well opposite St Andrew’s church which felt fitting as this is the day of wells and poetry and the fire and hearth.

We had children’s fire yesterday, a home school gathering courtesy of Tara at WildGuernsey, which Elijah and I love. We had a fire and we also got to walk the lanes in search of wild garlic, which coincidentally and indeed fortunately took us past an old well I discovered at Christmas in the lanes off the west coast where I was cat sitting over the holidays. There is a Goddess stone there too, which I finally captured to share with my stone friends, here’s a view for you too!

So really it has been a time of fire and wells, with a little bit of poetry thrown in. Here’s a link to poem I love about Imbolc….https://talesfromtheseed.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/imbolc-a-poem/ and a little poem I wrote…

Imbolc, imbolc, where all is
almost bursting with the potential
of new beginnings
where all is ready and waiting
for the right timing
to burst for into life and make
manifest all these dreams
and visions that have
been building and transform
hope into precious reality
all alive and potent, all
waiting patiently, patiently
it will all soon come
all is well, the light is returning.

Love Emma x
