Imbolc usually means that new plans are made, and new ideas are “planted”- sorry, I had to. We take a long, hard look at where our lives are and become remarkably introspective. We can look at our goals and resolutions, if we dare, and see if we need to get back on track.

Altars are an important part of many witches’ lives, as they serve as a sacred space to gather and practice magick. Altars can be incredibly simple or beautifully elaborate, they can be indoor or outdoor, and they can consist of anything that is spiritual and symbolic to you.

Imbolc is halfway through the shitty months where there’s nothing on the ground,  few edible plants growing and the nights, although growing shorter, are still long and dark.

During the long winters in the North, wild garlic bursting through the snow and baby lambs were early signs of spring was on the way.

Imbolc rituals should be personal and attuned with nature around you. These ideas are just general guidelines for this sabbath’s energies. You can twist them and make them into your personal experience that will suit your needs, feelings, and energy during that time of the year.
