At the heart of this gathering is Brigid, traditionally associated with poetry, healing, smithcraft, the hearth, and sacred flame. Together, we’ll spend a cozy afternoon exploring the folklore and traditions of Imbolc, weaving our own Brigid’s Crosses, sharing warm tea and treats, and reflecting on what may be beginning to awaken within us as the light returns. Come gather around the returning light.Weave something with your own hands.Share tea around the table.And welcome the first whispers of spring. 🔥 The Magic of Imbolc Together, we’ll explore the history, folklore, and traditions surrounding Imbolc, including: The meaning of Imbolc and its place on the Wheel of the Year Brigid, her sacred flame, and her many associations Fire, candles, and the returning light Purification, renewal, and preparing for spring Hearth and home traditions Simple ways to honour Imbolc in your own home or spiritual practice The folklore and meaning behind Brigid’s Cross 🌾 Create Your Own Brigid’s Cross One of the most recognizable traditions associated with Brigid is the weaving of Brigid’s Cross. Traditionally woven around Imbolc and placed within the home, the cross has long been associated with blessing, protection, the hearth, and welcoming Brigid into the home. Leah will guide you step-by-step as you weave your own cross to take home. No experience is needed, and imperfect weaving is absolutely welcome. This is about slowing down, working with your hands, and connecting with an old seasonal tradition. ✨ A Little Imbolc Magic We’ll finish our time together with a simple intention ritual, reflecting on what has been resting within us through winter—and what we may be ready to begin nurturing as the light returns. What are you ready to awaken? What tiny seed of an idea, dream, or intention is beginning to stir? What are you ready to invite back into the light? ☕ Tea, Treats & Community No cozy winter gathering would be complete without a pot of tea and something delicious. We’ll enjoy warm tea and light snacks while we craft, learn, visit, and share a little magic together. 🧺 What to Bring Just yourself and your curiosity.
