February 2, Imbloc

1/25/2013

0 Comments

 

      February 2nd is known as Imbloc.  The day marks the beginning of the Time of
Dawning (Feb.1-April 30).  Daylight hours are gradually lengthening.  The light
from the Sun begins to grow in power until fully born again at Beltane, May 1st.
  
      Imbloc, Feburary 2nd, we welcome the first stirrings of spring, and to say farewell to the cold and welcome the warmth.  The day's focus is to open our mind, soul, heart, and body to the changing season, to connect with the waxing solar year.  The things in life that we all wish for: financial security; a trusting, loving partner; and true peace of mind knowing that you are living the life you were meant to lead. 

      Sometimes we all feel a little lost. We feel that we can move mountains and we use all our energy and enthusiasm to do so. But a few moments later we feel that our efforts will be vain. This is one of the hard facts of life:" Nothing is for granted". You shouldn't let that refrain you from trying to makes things change for the better around you.
  
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
 
  On the eve of Imbloc sweep away the negative vibe from each room of your home, then rest the broom at the side of your alter.  Carry a brown colored candle through each room and say a few words to banish negative energy; to attract and encourage good. Imbloc translates as "in milk".  Add a drink of milk in ritual. The day of, outside pay close attention to the snow covered ground for a bird's feather that would foretell what the future would be.

 Imbloc, is the time for the annual weather forecasting ritual.  People in France look to the bear to see if winter is over.  Germany kept their eye on the badger.  Canada and the United States of America same tradition apply the groundhog.  The weather forecasting ritual gives a glimmer of hope for an early spring.  If a hibernating groundhog casts a shadow at Imbloc, winter will last another six weeks.  If no shadow is seen then spring will be delayed.  Over many generations the animal forecast have been accurate.

     According to ancient British weather lore it is the hedgehog that emerges at Imbloc, to fortell if winter will soon be over.  When a hedgehog wakes from a deep sleep, and emerges from its burrow in mid-winter and sees its shadow, because the sun is shining, it will forecast that winter will only continue for another six weeks.  If the weather will be bad, the hedgehog will remain inside its burrow.
 
An eighteenth century American rhyme advises: 
 "Observe which way the hedgehog builds her nest, to front the north or south or east or west, for if 'tis true what common people say, the wind will blow quite contrary way."

    Knowledge is Power:
    The more we have "to know" the more that can be known.

         Wiccans and Pagans have an animal companion that they consider their familiar.  A familiar is part of the family.

        A familiar is often defined as an animal with whom we have a magical connection.  If an animal has appeared in your life unexpectedly -- such as a stray cat that appears regularly, for instance -- it's possible that the animal may have been drawn to you magickally!
