Guest guest Posted January 31, 2000 Report Share Posted January 31, 2000 AND imbolc marks - astronomically, one of the midpoints between solstices n equinoxes! we are halfway thru winter. May 1 Aug 1 Nov 1 are the others, all have been Christianized or secularized, but underneath is the cosmic dance n the [apparenrt] stations of the Sun. The Celts celebrated w/bonfires n beacons, n Dancers n maypoles etc go ding-dong hey n tralala all over the place. St. Brigid, btw, is + vers of my fav Celtic goddess Brid, who rules over flocks, poetry, wisdom n laughter!! the Celtic Sophia. happy imbolc! ao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
