merry meet, dont think about it just do...Plant seeds, enjoy nature, this time is for new beginings. think of what you want to accomplish in the upcomeing year then start to plan for it. But mostly have fun and do what feels right. Dont stress yourself trying to make everything "perfect" because life isnt perfect. Spend time enjoying the wilderness, breathing in the fresh air. Sit in the woods and meditate or your back yard. What ever works for you... you cant go wrong if you only try, goddess is with you always.hope your first imbolc is everything you hope for, merry part and blessed be )O(

MM. Imbolc is such a lovely Sabbat (but aren't they all?). Here's what my coven does to celebrate Imbolc:

1. We hold a circle in honor of Brighid, Who is strongly associated with Imbolc. The God Whom we honor varies, but in the past we've paired Her with Herne or with Bel. She's a Goddess of smithcraft, poetry, inspiration, and transmutation, among other things. She is also associated with healing teas and is said to have gifted the Celts with writing.

2. Imbolc is strongly associated with cleaning and repurposing. Now is a great time to clean all your ritual tools, clean the house, and to do stuff like making rag rugs or recombining candle wax for re-use.

3. Imbolc is associated with the first lambing of the year, so that means that goat milk is plentiful. We cook with milk and cheese at this time to honor the spirit of the Sabbat. I make a lovely baked brie for this Sabbat.

4. It is customary to briefly light all the lights in the house on Imbolc night to welcome light back into our lives. Often my coven will vigil all night at the covenstead on Imbolc and then drop the circle in the morning. During vigil we might clean our ritual tools, recombine candles, do divinations, etc. At dawn the youngest member of our coven wakes everyone who fell asleep with a song and we have a sunrise breakfast together before closing the circle.

5. If you wish, you can make "Brighid's crosses" out of corn husks or other natural material. You can find tutorials on Youtube.

Our Imbolc celebration is a favorite of mine. We each rededicate ourselves to the Work and take a simple measure, which is used for healing throughout the year.

maximum Wiccans do not recognize their own vacation trips. (paradoxically, everybody is continuously accusing Christians of stealing their vacation trips from the pagans. did you recognize that each and each and every individual pagan vacation trips are in conserving with a image voltaic calendar they were given from the Romans? Pagans used lunar calendars.)

Practicing magic is evil.God says all forms of witchcraft is satanic and belongs to the devil.
