I want to stay here. I want to stay now. Let time stand still and enjoy this moment. I'm not ready yet. Since Samhain something changes inside me, something dies and something is born. I see what I was and build what I will be. All this darkness that this time of the year offers us is really inspiring and renewing for me. It's pure magic, alchemy within me. Every day I read and hear that many of you feel the same way. It's a time that is becoming more and more necessary. But time doesn't stand still, the wheel keeps turning in an endless cycle and darkness gives way to light. The days have begun to get longer, but now the cold is more intense. Something inside the earth is awakening but it's still early. Brigid's fire begins to warm the earth and our souls. She, patron of poetry, blacksmiths and healing. She who gives life to dead springs, who keeps the flame ever alive. She warns us to prepare for movement, to begin to choose the seeds that will shape this new cycle. The warmth of the earth allows the galanthus to be born from its entrails. Some trees show their premature buds. The little lambs live up to the name of this celebration. Everything is different, but really everything is the same. Even if we want to stay here we must move forward with the cycle, join it.
I will light a fire, a flame, to give strength to Sun on his way to the top. The old woman Cailleach accompanied me through the darkness, wrapped me in her mantle. The Disir will be worshipped once more. The spirits of the Earth awaken from their slumber. And we must join them. Blessed Imbolc, folks!!
