imbolc

[miss_joanne]

in the celtic pagan tradition that sets most of the parameters for wicca or modern witchcraft, february 2nd is imbolc. pronounced (roughly) "immulc", the name derives from the gaelic oimelc, for "first milk". when the christians moved into the celtic territories in the early part of the last millennium, they absorbed the holiday into their own

I'm sorry to hear about Alissa's losing a friend in a car accident. Some month's seem to radiate grief more intensely than others. The prolonged darkness of the Heaven's add to the heaviness of our feelings. It is interesting that at the same time, Valentine's Day is in February. It is a holiday that means only candy to me.
