Imbolc and aquarius new moon blessings everybody. I have made my Bride's cross today because I am teaching a workshop on February 1st, when I will burn last year's in the fire. It's such a beautiful practice to go and gather the rushes from the pond and weave them together while singing to the spring maiden as she gently glides across the land, reflecting on how much has changed since you wove your last one. To honour Brigid in this way means her blessing will be on your hearth the whole year through. This year has brought infinite joy and wonderment and next year I will be making my cross with my sweet helper who will no doubt try and eat the rushes, if memory serves.
