Imbolc takes place this coming weekend, February 1st– 2nd. The rites of this Sabbat have numerous traditions. The date has also traveled across time and space acquiring many names. At its heart this Sabbat is all about the mid-point of Winter and the promise Spring. Normally I write these blogs from a very academic point of view, blame my […]
I was making plans one day with a friend and we both agreed that before we left our respective homes, we needed to sweep. The friend made the statement that witches loved to sweep. Oh so very true. I do love to sweep my house because it gets rid of the dirt! More than that, when sweeping is done
