Spring is offically here - well in the Celtic calender anyway it is. Though you wouldn't think it if you were here with the lashing rain and wind howling all day :)
February1st is Imbolc - a day dedicated to the Goddess Brigid who would later become known as Saint Brigid following the introduction of Christianity to Ireland (and the 2nd most loved saint after St Patrick).
In a nutshell today we celebrate the coming of Spring and new life. It's a time of fresh starts and where the tradition of spring cleaning stems from.
I found this wonderful depiction of Brigid from mega talented artist EmilyBalivet who kindly gave me permission to use it today. Thanks Emily!
May the seeds of your dreams and hopes for the rest of the year that you plant today bring forth a cornucopia!
