Feb 1 2013, Informal Imbolc Celebration.

For Imbolc this year I decided to go to my local Irish alehouse and enjoy my annual pint of Guiness. While I was celebrating Brighid's aspect as Patroness of Brewing, I preached to my friends over text message about the joys of Imbolc. I sent several messages to interested pals about the Lady of Poetry, Healing and Smithcraft, the lactation of ewes, the eternal flame at Kildare and the anticipation of the exchange of the year between our beloved winter hag the Calleach Beare and bright Brighid at Beltane. I treated myself to a yummy feast and sang a hymn to Brighid aloud before I toasted with my first drink of Guiness of 2013.
