This week we are diving into the Witch's Sabbat, Imbolc. This year it is on Thursday, February 1st in the Northern Hemisphere and Thursday, August 1st in the Southern Hemisphere. Imbolc is the traditional cross-quarter sabbat marking the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. We will be diving into some history, traditions, and ideas in which you could introduce celebrating Imbolc in your practice.
