47: Imbolc Folk Lore, History, and Crafts
Get ready to light the candles and welcome the first stirrings of spring with "Back on the Broomstick" in our cross quarter holiday Imbolc episode! Join Laylla and Chelle as they delve into the folklore, crafts, and rich history of this magical sabbat.
In this episode, we explore the ancient roots of Imbolc, also called Oimelc and Candlemas, a time traditionally dedicated to the Celtic goddess Brigid, symbolizing new beginnings, purification, and the return of light. We'll talk everything Imbolc from its pagan origins to its modern ways to honor the day.
It's also the one year anniversary of BotB and Laylla teases Chelle with talk of a special crafted surprise.
The witches talk crafts like Brigid crosses, an age-old symbol that may have origins as a protective sign or a reminder of the sun. And for those who love a touch of winter magic, we discuss making snow globe candle holders. These enchanting creations are a beautiful way to honor the season and add a sparkle of Imbolc magic to your home.
So grab your crafting supplies, light a candle for Brigid, and join us for an episode filled with folklore, fun, and the magic of Imbolc.
