Fire allows for rapid transformation

to let go of the old story and drama

to transform

to renew and to be reborn.

Through fire ceremony, you honour your lessons and old belief structures by placing them in the fire and turning them over to Spirit. By releasing these old patterns and beliefs into the fire, you heal deeply at the level of the soul without having to experience them at the literal and physical levels.

The fire itself will become your teacher and will let you know immediately if your intention is pure.

****

Start the Ceremony with a Fire, Cauldron or Candle…

Take a moment to focus on the flame…

Connect with that which you are honouring before releasing, the gifts you have received, or what you are envisioning into being.

Using your breath, blow this intention or prayer into the offering 3 times.

This “spirit arrow” can represent an issue or something that needs to be honored in order for you to let go of it.

The offering serves to focus one’s attention in active meditation.

The object can be decorated with string and flowers or feathers or left as is.

Or you can write what/who you are releasing on strips of paper and bind them with twine, ribbon or string and follow the same process.

The first offering honours the four directions – raising the arrow to each of the directions. After your honouring =

The intention of the second offering is to honour the upper worlds/heavens and earth – raising the arrow high above then touching Earth Mother with it.

For the third and last offering, connect the circle around the fire by honoring “all” those present. This may include Spirit Allies, the Spirits of the land and place or ancient energetic beings you may sense, but not see.

Place the arrow into fire, offering it to Spirit of Fire

to raise these intentions on the smoke to the Divine Spirit Creator

to transmute

to transform

to renew

and to be reborn.

“As the Sun spirals its longest Dance

Cleanse Us

As nature shows bounty and fertility

Bless Us

Let all things live with loving intent

And to fulfill their truest destiny” —

Imbolc is a Celtic Fire Festival celebrating the quickening of the world around us, the awakening of the land. Marking the halfway point between winter solstice and the spring equinox in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland, Imbolc dates back to the pre-Christian era in the British Isles. The first Celtic Fire Festival was traditionally aligned with the first day of spring and new beginnings and of rebirth and renewal. As the force of life stirs around us, we plant the seeds of hope and promise.

At Imbolc we celebrate the Goddess Brìghde, Brighdid, Brigid who is considered the patroness of poetry, smithing, healing, arts and inspiration. The Goddess of the dawn and of Spring…

Spreading her green mantle across the land, Brigid revives the earth from it’s winter slumber and the cold embrace of the Cailleach Bheurra, the Goddess of Winter. Thus ensuring the return of the season of plenty and the eternal promise of Spring.

Bonfires, hearth-fires and candles were lit to celebrate and honour the ever growing light and ceremonial foods were prepared to celebrate the first stirrings of the return of life to the land, to welcome the season of life and growth.

The Goddess is an “embodiment of the supernatural cauldron of plenty, a common motif in Celtic literature and legend.”…bread, cakes, custard pies, cheeses and drink made with magical ingredients associated with the sun (such as egg yolk, butter and honey) were served for the Imbolc Feast.

A splendid collection of recipes and authentic stories with incomparably beautiful offerings by Danielle Prohom Olson at Gather Victoria.

Cailleach Bheurra, sleep now that Brìghde may attend…thank you for a season of your wisdoms Mother.

Thig an nathair as an toll
Là donn Brìde,
Ged robh trì troighean dhen t-sneachd
Air leac an làir.

The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bríde,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground
.
Imbolc Blessings…what new beginnings do you bring to the light? What do you plant to harvest at Lughnasadh?
