Brrrrrrrr! If tomorrow is anything like today, we'll be celebrating INdoors! We have a hearth fire, which is a big part of the Imbolc celebration, so we'll gather around it. It'll be more crowded, but we'll manage nicely, I'm sure. So 9 o'clock it is.
Just a couple of things: There is one part of the fire ritual where we encourage our children (and us) to release any psychic "dust" we may be holding onto from the past year. We draw a picture or write something we regret, a word we wished we hadn't said, or something we wish we'd done differently. This is all done in private, unless someone feels they want to share what they're releasing. Then we crumple the paper and THROW it into the fire symbolically releasing it from our minds and hearts. So, we all can keep this ceremony in mind in case we need a little time to think of something. Then the other part is writing down something we want to manifest in this coming year, so we can be thinking of that too.
See you tomorrow! Use the comments to ask any questions or share ideas...

We will be there mary-sue. See you tomorrow.
Don't forget to bring anything you want to give away. We will do a short releasing ceremony.
That was so awesome, Mary Sue! Thank you!
I'm SO SO glad everyone came. Thank you for today! It really filled a need for me to start celebrating the earth in such a meaningful way with our tribe. I heard both kids singing the songs long after you were all gone. Those ones will be special now for us -- until the next celebration when we sing more!
Thanks everyone.
Thank-you Mary-Sue. It was a wonderful celebration. As I watched our children, I was just so thankful for the community that they have. What a gift. Also the CD is great and we are all singing along.
