Embrace The Dream of Awakening To Enliven Your Spirit

phoenix_risingThe brilliant Caroline Mellow of Tales from the Seed has honored us by allowing me to share her Imbolc poem in its entirety here on The Alchemist’s Heart!

If you aren’t familiar with the magic of Imbolc, get ready for a treat!  This is a fire festival on February 2nd marking the mid point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

This is a time of spring awakening!

In Celtic traditions is is known as Brigid’s Day, honoring the Celtic goddess of fire, fertility, midwifery and the young. ‘Imbolc’ comes from Old Irish and means “in the belly,” or alternately “ewe’s milk,” relating this beautiful holiday to a celebration of fertility, reproduction and the young, overseen by the goddess Brigid.

May you allow this poem to wash over you and awaken the power and

regeneration of the new shoots of spring manifesting in your life!

If you’ve been in my office, you know this is a topic dear to my heart.  A Love Letter to Tea by Caroline Mellor of Tales from the Seed :

“(Tea) is not a drink, it is meditation; it is prayer. Listen to the kettle creating a melody, and in that listening… become more silent, more alert.” ~ Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
