Imbolc 2004 Omens
We were in the middle of another bad snowstorm, bad enough
that we
celebrated near the house under the cover of the deck roof. Part of
the main
offering / magical working was to sacrifice candles we had inscribed
with
our thoughts / wishes for the coming season to Brigit. For that section
we
went out to our portable fire pit under the sky. As soon as the candles
were
put into the fire, the moon broke through the storm and a circle in
the
clouds opened above us around the moon. It lasted until the candles
had
burned down and we went back under cover of the roof, then closed over
again
in the snow. I took that as a sign that the offerings were received
and that
the wishes will be granted.
