Marks the beginning of Spring.

Also called Imbolg, Candlemas, Brigantia, The Feast of the Waxing Light, and Oimelc. Imbolc celebrates the increasing strength of the God, given as the first and greatest gift of the Goddess. Many Wiccans honour the Goddess at this time as the source of fire, poetry, arts, crafts, agriculture and smith craft. It is a time for reflection upon the generative power of the gods, from which will come the later material and spiritual harvests.
