Imbolg 2003
Rivergrove
The pre-ritual Grove Hallows
It was cold and snowy outside, with an unexpected snowstorm dumping many inches of snow overnight and on through the day.
The Gatekeeper - Mannannan - is called to open the ways between.
The Omen for StoneCreed Grove's Imbolc season.
Candles were lit from a candle that had been lit from a match that had been lit from the flame at Brighids well in Kildare (Eire). The flame is snuffed as we bring Brighid into our hearts, and can be rekindled at any time we need her light and blessing.
Behold! The Waters of Life!
