Meet My Personal Goddess, Brigid

Turning our eyes toward spring with Imbolc

Imbolc (pronounced like EE-melk) is a Gaelic fire festival, also known as Saint Brigid’s Day, and is usually observed on February 1st.

Imbolc celebrates the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and the return to the light after winter’s darkness.

In 2023, for the first time, Imbolc is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, the first one named after a woman.
