The great White Lady is here. Her energy is still beautiful and powerful, as always. Elder Cailleach gives way to Maid Brigid. Her time is ending, but I would love her reign to be extended for a few more weeks, I still feel so attached to her.... These Imbolc season is being strangely warm. Brigid's influence dilutes the ancestral power of Cailleach, turns the snow on the highest peaks into rivers, causes the buds of trees to begin to peek out into the light, Sun is stronger every day. But old Cailleach was the creator, she is the night, the cold and the dark. She shaped the mountains and valleys, without her there would be no light, no warm days. Legend has it that during Imbolc the weather is an omen: if the weather is warm and sunny, the old woman Cailleach will spend the day in the forest gathering wood for warmth as her reign will be extended for a few more weeks. The land is exhausted these days, she needs to rest a little longer. Honestly, I dream that it will. I dream of young Brigid sleeping a little longer, I dream of sinking into the old woman's arms as the smell of her white hair reminds me that we are still moving through the cycle, I want her to tuck me in with her blanket as the snow falls silently. Blessed Imbolc ❄️🕯️
