Here's what Sig recently wrote on his Blog about Imbolc. Time to begin to germinate those seeds! Thanks Sig!
"Imbolc is
that time of the Celtic yearly cycle when the seed that was planted at
Samhain (1 November) and lies dormant through the dark of the winter, by
throwing out that little cotyledon, moves by itself for the first
time. It is analogous to the quickening in the human reproductive
cycle. It has a life of its own. In
Vermont, an underground chamber called Rodwin is oriented toward the
Imbolc Sunset.
Here in
Glastonbury, the Pilgrim Reception Centre sponsored a new Holy Thorn (the
old one on Wearyall Hill was vandalised). This cutting from the old
Holy Thorn was planted several days ago at the Abbey Car Park next to a new
World Peace Pole and a Glastonbury bench for visitors to rest on. Imbolc is the
time when ideas or plans that have been lying fallow in the dark all winter
are now ready to begin a life of their own. What projects have you
been thinking about that are ready to begin to move, to manifest? Use
this time of Imbolc to feel that quickening, and ready to give
birth?

Be With
You
This Imbolc!

Bit of a sync for me reading this post,as my mother was born in November and lived in a town called Imbol,which is in Queensland,Australia.

The only thing is that in Australia the seasons are reversed and November is in the springtime going into summer.
I've never been to Glastonbury,but it looks like a town I would love to visit.I did a post about a wonderful tune with the filmclip being filmed as the composer walks up and down Glastonbury Tor.

The tune is called "Pilgrimage" and is written by Ciaseal Mor,who grew up living about 2 miles from where I did (Brisbane).
As far as I know our paths have never crossed oddly enough,although I have bought books and CDs from his website.
I love his work.
