Tonight, we Witches, Pagans, and magical practitioners celebrate our most holy, reflective, and deeply sacred time. This marks the end of the Celtic year, and as the deep dark descends, I invite you to read about the lore, the magic, and the beauty of this hallowed sabbat. I also include a list of notable 2025 deaths.

For my readers who are unhappy with the “political” material in my posts and newsletter, I offer a manifesto of my beliefs and purpose. I hope it will clarify my position as we navigate this unprecedented time.

Although there are many reasons for our hearts to be heavy, let us trust the timing of Nature! Imbolc is our holy time of healing, hope, and renewal. The curtain rises on a bright new year, and the changing of the age. Come celebrate with me.

Today is the celebration of the magical cross-quarter sabbat of Imbolc. It’s an ideal time for initiating auspicious changes in our lives. Learn more!

Tonight we welcome our friends who are celebrating Christmas only, and will light their 1st candle. If you’re including Solstice, it’s Candle Two.

With the lighting of the third candle on our Advent Solstice Sun Wreath, it’s clear that a great birthing is on the way! We welcome it with joy.
