	'1st February - IMBOLC is the time between the Winter Solstice (emptiness) and the Spring Equinox (beginning growth) when inspiration for the seed to be sown is given nurture. If we focus on what we intend to bring about in our lives over the following cycle of seasons we can let quiet contemplation bring forward the next aspect of life's need.'

This is a time to be clear about our 'seed-intentions' for the year. There is a wake-up call in the air - encouraging and inspiring us to re-kindle out creativity. What will you grow this year? 'We will never, never loose our way to the Well, of her memory, and the Power of her living flame, it will rise, it will rise again.' Imbolc chant to Brigit
