Imbolc

This week's show is a celebration of the sabbat, Imbolc, which will be on Saturday, February 2.

It marks the 1/2-Way point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox (which is cause-enough to celebrate!).

Imbolc is a Primary Cross Quarter sabbat, Sacred to the Goddess Brigid, known by many as the Queen Mother of Ireland.

So we talk about some of the history and symbolism of Imbolc and Brigid's associations. And I'll share with you a traditional Irish myth of Brigid. This is the story of "The Queen of the Four Fires". Then, finally, we'll sweeten the pot with Tres Leches cake! "Three Milks", this traditional Spanish-American desert is perfect for your Imbolc celebrations, and I'll give you the recipe!

I hope you enjoy this week's show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include; Jenna Greene: "Brigid"; Isaac Bonewitz: "Hymn to Brigid"; Loreena McKennitt: "The Lark in the Clear Air"; Sharon Knight: "Bewitched"; The Moores: "The Blessing & Descent of the Goddess Brigidt" and more.
