Imbolc

Thomas Berry calls for intimate rapport with Earth community and for celebrating the grand liturgy of the universe. He says that no viable mode of human presence on the planet will take place until this happens. We look for ancient and new ways to accomplish this. For many Celtic spirituality has become a primary resource. In this section of this Musings we look at two celebrations of “Imbolc.”

Imbolc, February 1, is the Celtic cross-quarter holiday that falls halfway between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Also known as Groundhog/Bear Day, this holiday honors the rebirth of spirit in us and in nature.
