"Brigit" artist unknown
Thig an nathair as an toll
La donn Bride,
Ged robh tri traighean dh’ an t-sneachd
Air leachd an lair.
“The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bride,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground.”
Yesterday was a very hectic day, and I wasn’t able to celebrate as I should have. However, it was semi-peaceful.
I envisioned a labrinth filled with candles and the many books of poetry that the world possess with snowdrop petals falling alongst the wind. Imbolc is a symbolic day of “the coming light.” It is also, the goddess Brigid’s day, goddess of poetry, goddess of motherhood, protection, and the goddess of the flame. The inner flame. Remember alot of mythology is symbolic of the inner-self. So, I hope you took the day to light your inner flame, your poet’s voice and your breath of fresh air! Blessed be.
