Imbolc Meditation


Close your eyes and open your hearts and minds. Travel with me to the circle time, to the world between the worlds. You find yourself walking in a forest. The air is crisp, smooth, alive. You shudder with chill and keep walking. A Raven lands in your path. She is huge , her eyes are bright blue. She motions her head to you and takes flight. You follow. You travel up and down hills to a small courtyard. You see a cauldron-like column, shaped of brick and mortar, rising out of the ground. This, you reason, is the Well of Brigid. You smell roses. you smell oak. You see the Raven smiling and discover that the Raven has transformed into Brigid. The Great lady, the saint, the healer, the Mother, the Muse of Creativity, stands before you in the courtyard, clad in a blue cloak. You take a deep breath and wait for the rest of us, your circlemates, to arrive. Open your eyes when you are ready to join us...
