Description
Brigid, Goddess of Healing, Poetry, and Smithcraft, was one of the most powerful Celtic deities. She begins her reign on Imbolc – sunset, February 1 to sunset,February 2 – the midpoint between winter solstice and spring equinox.
As Imbolc represents the beginning of spring, the time when first lambs are born and the season associated with pregnancy, it is the prime time to honor the fertility aspect of Brigid.
