Imbolc (February 1)
Sacred to the Celts as a festival for Brigid their Goddess, (Goddess of Fire and Inspiration.) This time of year was mid winter, and commonly balefires were lit to warm the earth to hasten their thawing when spring came. Also the sun is beginning to creep out of the darkness of winter, giving hope again that the sun will return.
