Hushed like the fall of snow, the February Full Moon, illuminates our skies on February 1^st, the same day as we celebrate the Sabbat of Imbolc and the threshold of spring.

This is the Sabbat of light, a celebration of the sun's returning power, and the renewal of life. Leaving behind the dreary days of winter, we step into the brightening days of early spring with purpose and intention. Like the first green shoots to rise from the soil, Imbolc gently nudges us to begin again, renewed and ready for all that the new season has to offer. Under the watchful guidance of Brigid, goddess of hearth, inspiration, and fertility, we move forward, inviting her light to spark creativity within and protection for the new season.

Deeply rooted in symbolism, the first full moon of a new year feels like a fresh start. A chance to learn from the past, reinvent ourselves and embrace the opportunity for renewal. It is a time full of promise and potential, a powerful opportunity for personal growth, and a potent moment to focus on what is truly important. Let us commune together and explore what this first Full Moon has to offer.
