Imbolc : Febuary 1st; Greater Sabbat.
This Holy Day is the first one of the year at the beginning of the Solar year at Winter solstice. It is a time for Cleansing and Purifying in preparation for a new cycle of life.
"The earth is restless with the first stirring with renewed wnergy and life. Awake, Maiden! Hear the voice of the Lord, as he calls to You to join with Him in the dance of life. Prepare the fields and forests, all creatures large and small, for the coming of Spring!" -(D.J. Conway, 271) From Wicca the Complete Craft.
D.J. Conway is a Great Author for the Pagan Kind. Conway's Book That I'm currently reading is Wicca the Complete Craft.
