Pagan Date: Imbolc

Pagan Date: Imbolc

In the southern hemisphere, today in the Pagan calendar is Imbolc. It’s a Sabbat to honour the Celtic goddess Brighid. It’s a time to purify oneself, dedicate oneself to a task. The word imbolc comes from Irish Gaelic and means ‘ewe’s milk’. It’s in reference to the time when ewe’s begin suckling with their young in preparation for the coming planting and spring time.
