SEASONAL CEREMONIES: Connect with the Seasons 2023 - Imbolc
$35.00
Welcome to Life Wild Seasonal Ceremonies: Connect with the Seasons!
Let's celebrate the beautiful Imbolc - the official start of Spring in the southern hemisphere. It's a time to celebrate that Spring is just around the corner, heralded to us by wattle, whales and nesting birds! We can enjoy the final outbreath of nature, and honour this time we've had in the cold and dark. Light is on the horizon! Imbolc is the Celtic celebration of Spring and literally means "in the belly of the mother" as the spring seeds are waiting to germinate. It's the exact halfway point between the winter solstice and spring Equinox.
Connect with the seasons through the 8 pagan ceremonies, held by nature.
Do you know each of the 8 traditional pagan/ Celtic ceremonies that mark seasonal changes? Let's connect with nature and the seasons by celebrating each of these special times of the year. This is done in an Australian/ Southern Hemisphere context, combining traditional ceremony with modern day (and ancient) nature connection practices.
