Meditative Midwinter Bath Soak



Imbolc Midwinter St. Brighid's Day Candlemas February 1st and 2nd Half way through the season, the spring energy begins to rise and the sun gets stronger, winter still holds its grip. Observing midwinter offers a time to cleanse stagnant energy by setting intentions for the rising spring from what we have learned through these darker days. Just like the earth, we are beginning to wake from our winter slumber. Taking a warm bath *in the dark with glowing candle light* provides space for meditation to dream of what is to come. As you soak, begin by focusing on revelations from the recent weeks (and the last year) and settle your thoughts to hopes and dreams you would like to manifest in the coming seasons.


This bath soak is filled with Imbolc correspondences. Milk to symbolize the time of year ewes begin lambing, a form of nourishment that has been missed in the darker months.
