    As Earth spirals through her annual seasons we reach Imbolc, one of the eight Celtic celebratory marker points on our journey round the Sun, the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. ‘Imbolc’ means ‘in the belly’, as the seeds of new life begin to stir, dreaming of birth with the coming Spring. Still celebrated in Ireland as St Brigit’s Day, it has come down to us as Groundhog Day. Celebrating the returning light here in the North.
