In Celtic myth the goddess Cailleach personifies winter reigning from Samhain until Beltane. It is said that if Imbolc is warm and sunny, Cailleach will collect more firewood, and prolong winter. An overcast day signals she has overslept and spring is on its way.

Blessed Imbolc everyone

Imbolc is a pagan celebration of goddess Brigid
A way to celebrate is by decorating your altar with things that represent Brigid; a corn husk doll, white flowers, a bowl of milk & candles
