Q19 How do you celebrate the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox? (Imbolc)

I light a candle and move it through my home with the sun, sort and clean my seeds, and do a bit of plant care. I plant some herbs inside and make blueberry lavender cupcakes.

Some meditation also feels right. If at all possible in my garden regardless of the temperature. Today was a good, clear day for that.

I usually celebrate on the 2nd of Feb by planting some seeds and sometimes bulbs and lighting some candles and meditating in the garden, as well as a little feast. I'm making some lemon posset for dessert and some oatcakes with candied salmon and goat cheese this year.

Oh, that sounds excellent. Always seems like a good time for cheese to me.

Yeah, at some point over the years it's become my holiday of cheese and nuts.

I get that. For me, it's cheese and jam. Usually, the last of the blackberry jam from last season.
