Forgive him cause if you don't you're hurting yourself and holding him hostage.

Thank you very much for the help. I am not sure as to which path I am to follow
yet, but I am working on it and meditating on this. Again the help is greatly
appreciated.

Blessed Be,
Mauve

Syalla Mauve. I am not Wiccan and I am not sure if it is only Wiccan traditions
you are looking for but I would be happy to send you some of the traditions my
grove hold for Kalunembra "Candlemas." Mind you being we are not Wiccan, the
holiday for us does not in any shape or form hold the same meaning. In no
particular order here are some elements of of celebration:

1) Hanging of wreaths and garlands decorated in fake icicles and decorations of
White, Blue and purple.

2) Torch and Candle Dances around a central fire.

3) Bundles of pine sticks wrapped together and hung in windows and on each side
of doors to bring luck. Wrapped in yarn fillets opf white blue and purple

4) Leaving a candle burning all night in window in remembrance of once ancestors

5) Decorating one HUGE wreath with wood carved figures of deer and wolves,
represnting The Lord and Lady, Like a Yule wreath it can have lights in it with
crystals and bulbs of white silver, blue and purple, Even snowflakes.

6) Cake decorated in colors of white, blue and purple

7) Meditations on the meaning of winter. walking down a snowy path in the deep
wild

8) Exchanging of gifts like quilts, gloves/mittens, crystals, fur pelts, glass
ware, wooden figurines, food, wine and home-made candles.

9) Ornaments hung about made of twisted straw and long straw braids

10) Decorated egg orniments. (Normally this is reserved for Ostara and easter
but in our faith, this is the night the Earth mother conceives our lord, the egg
represents that conception. We gave a huge egg made from sugar-frosted string;
we cut a hole in the center, fill it up with some straw and place inside a image
of our lord as a baby, sorta like a christian nativity. About this we each
place a small votive candle and leave a prayer. Again this sounds more Ostara
for some but we are not celebrating the Lord's birth on Candlemas but his
conseption. Big difference.

11) Spicy foods to bring warmth in the body and hope to help kill infection. A
spice cake is great

12) Candle Magick spell casting

13) Cleaning and cleansing of ovens, microwaves and fireplaces. Then
rededication of them to the hearth goddess.

14) Tying 3 pinecomes together and from them have long ribbons hanging down of
purple white and blue. Everyone can make their own, empowering them with
blessings and hang them about the celebration area.

Hope some of this helps. Even if it gives you some ideas to tweek about for your
own celebrations.

Later Days
:D Jess :D

Thank you so much Jessica! I will re-read this closer to Imbolc. I greatly
appreciate your help!

Mauve,
There's the Wiccan Sabbat of Imbolc coming up-depending on where your
located and the callendar you go by ( Gregorian-also known as the western
callendar) will deter the date of the occassion. In the Northern hemisphere,
it's usually celebrated on the 2nd Feb. It gets a bit confusing if you get too
much into detail and start worrying about that kinda thing. Southern hemisphere
celebrates....well I actually forget, cause I celebrate on Feb2nd.

If you wanna know more about Northern/southern hemisphere celebrations and
stuff, I really recommend reading Way of wicca by Vivianne
Crowley-publishers=thorsons element books.

Imbolc is also refered to as St. Brigit's day. A scottish/gaelic proverb about
the day-

"The Serpent will come from the hole,
On the brown day of Bride,
Thought there should be three feet of snow,
On the flat surface on the ground".

It's a fire festival. A celebration of the warming of the earth from harsh
winters'. One of 4 fire festivals; you might wanna look up " wheel of the year".
A time for beginnings/initiations.

Goddess association with this day: Bridgit. Also the maiden/mother phase of the
goddess, bringing things to nurture/being.

Some belief's place Imbolc on the 1st and candlemas on the 2nd Feb.
Life is celebrated as it is at this time when life beings to stir again- Earth
thaws-kinda like a chicken! :)
In the home, you may want to get rid of unwanted goods/clutter. In preparation
for all things new. A time of purification.

Imbolc translates as 'In the belly'. Symbolically, a stirring of Earth's womb. A
time for fresh starts and new beginnings!

Remember when celebrating=to relax, you should not have to worry about what you
have to get done or what your celebrations should be! What do you like to do in
magic? think about it?! You could have a tea-party gathering where your friends
bring drinks or cakes for after any rituals or spells. This is to ground your
energies afterward. I'd suggest maybe looking on google/ask about
groundings-then you'll know what you can make for yourself-bananas believe it or
not can also be eaten after ritual as they are high in potasium. You don't have
to use 'high' magick on your first sabbat-if it is your first sabbat, either
way..... you could read each other's tarot, or you could read there's=a way of
looking to the future and asking about any new beginnings.
You could have a spring house clean and develop that into a ritual
afterwards.......
Lighting lots of candles is another way to celebrate, you could cleanse your
tools or charge them for future use!
You could make some goals for the future!
Well, I don't know much about Druidry, I follow Wicca, but that's as close to
nature as you might find.
If there's going to be more than one of you, you could all walk into your garden
on Imbolc, be close and one with nature and have a 'drawing down the moon'
ritual, or you could create a coven if there's 4 of you. Or you could call the
watchtowers if there are 4 of you.

If you'd like, as I now have more time on my hands....let me know if you'd
like a sample ritual/spell work for Imbolc, and I'll let you know how I used to
celebrate.

Recommended books-
definately way of wicca-as mentioned above and 'the witche's almanac' by Marie
Bruce. I love her books-in the Almanac's she has rituals and spells, bits about
moon phases for each day and basic info on gods, correspondances, months, etc.

Hope this helps :)
-Jess
BB, have a great Sabbat!
