Imbolc “IM-bulk” is a pagan holiday with many names. One of the Sabbats, it is an ancient festival generally celebrated on January 31, February 1, or February 2. It is also known as Candlemas, Brighid (“breed/bride”), and Oimelc (“EE-mulk”) which means ewe’s milk. It is the time of year halfway between December 21, the Winter Solstice (Yule), and March 21, the spring Equinox (Ostara). Imbolc is in the middle of winter but is the optimism of spring. The Egyptians and the Romans also celebrated this time, as it was the earth goddess giving birth to the Sun God. The time to ready seeds for the planting of food. A time of planning weddings, love, and romance. Days are getting longer and hope is renewed. The celebration is to light candles. The night of white candles turns the darkness into light.

You’ve been wanting to express yourself. Make sure you enunciate yourself in the right way. You’ve been searching for the right communication style for a while. You were taught to be polite and the world became anxious and many people used words to thrash and trash others. And now, you don’t always speak your truth. When you decide to start speaking clearly and concisely again, you can do so gently. Allowing truth and wisdom to come to the fore. You don’t need to put others or yourself down for that matter. You are to start being proud of yourself again. Knowing you stayed the course through thick and thin for many years. Upcoming you will feel freer in your speech. Your convictions won’t seem as tense. Life may start flowing toward an easier time, the more you can relax with your feelings and trust your journey, the better you’ll feel.
You aren’t caring about keeping up with the Jones. You want a job that makes you happy. You want a life that feels worthwhile. You want sincere relationships and friendships. You want your actions to match your words. You are going backward in your excitable character, you’re going to look for uniqueness and soundness. You’re going to create your world into being a better place, and when you make it happen your family and friends will follow your lead.

———-
The past is put to rest as you burn through any leftover frustration or self-pity. You are to recapture the essence of your soul goals. While dusting yourself off and breathing in some fresh air, you are now rebalancing your intensity to create new passion, new undertakings, new plans, new hopes, and new dreams. Taking life seriously again for inner satiation. Looking at the redeeming qualities of everyone and everything. You no longer need to process the whys; after all, you’re now getting ready to leave unfinished business and whatever else you accrued… behind.
The first step is your mind in synch with your conversations that match your actions. When you succeed in aligning this, you will notice your life works in miraculous ways.
—— “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ― Albert Einstein

Everyone knows what’s wrong to do…bad habits, addictions, procrastination or rebelliousness. Bad tempers or isolation, release misfortune and start by being resourceful, capable and enterprising. Learning to listen again. Drinking plenty of water, and meditate. Resonating with the earth and expecting the very best instead of the very worst.

_____Encouragement is useful. Reassuring another person of the effort they make, not only makes them feel validated but it also makes you feel satisfied. No matter who thinks they act alone on the planet is not telling the truth to themselves. The farmer created food for you to eat and there were contractors to build your house. Let alone all the workers creating electronic equipment, entertainment devices, and cookware. Sewing you clothes and making your soaps, creating medicines and vitamins. We aren’t lone wolves, no matter what. Activate your abilities and strong skills, you have the ability to create the life you long for…
——“Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.” – Laurence J. Peter
The Full Hunter’s Moon (Native American) at 24* Aries culminating October 17, 2024 4:27AM pacific/ 7:27AM eastern. (Farmers Almanac)
The nights are getting darker now. Rest and Rejuvenate, Dream and Create, Plan and Recharge. This Moon is assertive to aggressive in its urgency for change. Move toward recharging your career goals. You are to settle into making money and creating wellness and harmony for yourself and your family. You are to make improvements in your life. You are not being “asked.” The universe is apparent in its message. Aries is about movement toward a goal. Not thinking about it or even having a sentiment attached to making a decision, it’s clear, dust yourself off and be fresh, be strong, be forthright, and be as clear as you can be. Just leave behind some of the things that are no longer working out for you. Wellness is a key message now. Gain your strength for the winter.
Move toward advancement. Sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away.
Relax your mind – Learn to Meditate
Feel Your Body – Be in Gratitude of your Temple
Open the Senses – Breathe in “Life”
Don’t Make too many Decisions – But be decisive
Take a break every few hours – Revive

—We’re to work on creating our personal power this Full Moon Month. All Dreams are born in the dark as our days of light are limited, allow plans and goals to be developed. We can fail many times, but we’ll find what we are looking for eventually. If it’s people, places or things, we are to remain hopeful, polite and adventurous. It’s our birthright to survive and thrive in this world and allows us to become the very best we can be.

Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 20/21/22 September 22, 2024 (Almanac) Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox.

Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia.
The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year. At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.
