IMBOLC 2016
Imbolc is celebrated by Pagans midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
In the ancient world winter stores of food would be running low by this time of the year, and with spring around the corner, rituals were performed to ensure a good growing season. Like many Celtic festivals, Imbolc celebrations centred around the lighting of fires, as fire celebrates the increasing power of the sun.
