Imbolc is the Irish name for the cross-quarter day that falls on February 1st.This holiday is celebrated in many different ways by many different Pagan traditions. We will be celebrating it with a rite to Brigid the goddess and saintand ask her to bless us with our service. We will be using the ADF Core Order of Ritual with an Irish Hearth culture this year.

Brigid or Brid or Bride is the Gaelic goddess of fire, water, and healing as well as smithcraft and poetry. She is usually a triple goddess of arts while her Christian guise is St. Brigid of Kildare, the founder of the nunnery at Kildare, Ireland. She is daughter of The Dagda and possibly the Morrigan. She has been popular in Ireland for centuries in both goddess and saintly forms. There are countless wells sacred to her that people visit on pilgrimage, and a sacred flame was kept to her for many years at Kildare. We will honoring her with water and fire in an ADF rite focused on the purification Imbolc traditionally provides.
