Our Way to the Well

"We will never,
never lose our way
to the well,
of her memory.
And the power,
of her living flame,
it will rise,
it will rise again!"
- Reclaiming chant

I start this blog post with this chant, having settled a bit with the change of the wheel of the year, as we passed by Imbolc another time round.

Many may forget about Imbolc, as it's not one of "the big ones" like Beltane, Samhain, or Yule... yet for me it holds a very dear place in my heart. 5 years ago, Brighid entered my life when I was first discovering what Witchcraft was really all about, and I participated in a ritual over the radio! What a first experience, and I've not looked back since.

This year I had an opportunity to lead a public ritual, and while we had low census due to the local transit service being on strike, we still had about 25 people who shared in an amazing ritual with me. I was truly honoured to get to lead a ritual that I felt really connected people.

We created sacred space, I invoked Brighid through word and song (SOLO by the way!), we meditated, and then we raised great energy together to put our spells to work, while chanting the song that starts this blog... followed by an amazing potluck feast.

Anyhow, supper is ready, I'll post more about this later.

Blessed Be, and Merry Imbolc,
