Brigid's festival. First stirring of life beneath frozen ground. Ewes begin lactating. Serpent stirs from winter sleep. The creative fire is kindled in forge and hearth. Not yet spring—but spring is coming. Preparation, purification, the first warmth.
Modern Practice
Make Brigid's crosses. Bless candles for year ahead. Purification rituals—cleaning home, cleansing tools. Kindle creative projects. This is still gestation—not birth. Plans form, inspiration strikes, but action waits for Ostara. Tend the forge of your becoming.
Inspiration precedes manifestation. Purify before creating. The fire must be kindled before it can blaze. Tend what is stirring within before acting without.
