[@EnnyOwl]

I’m so excited. I love celebrating the wheel of the year ✨

[@michelepfaff5363]

Celebrated St. Brigid last night with friends. Had a great feast that included milk, butter, meat....it was wonderful!! I am in the states and Spring is slowly starting. 💚🍀💚 thank you, I am many years ahead of you in age but I really enjoy your channel & appreciate it.

We used to make Brigids cross in church on Palm Sunday. I was raised Irish Catholic and always wondered what the cross was....now I know!! Lol

[@carolp5993]

Luna thank you for this informative video so helpful. I’m learning about the culture and this took so much of my misunderstanding and guesswork. I love the simple ways to honor Brigid and the time of year. I have subscribed ❤

[@tcbarrett3rd]

Thank you for this. It's the most grounded and informative video on Imbolc that I've been able to find.

Beautiful 🍃🪴🐍☀️♥️💖☀️ Happy Inbolc. Thank you 💚

[@MsGaella]

Lovely. Thank you💚

[@alisonhawke1813]

Thank you for your video ♥️☘️ I’m currently deconstructing from a high demand religion. Your videos are simple enough that I can understand, but detailed in a way that gives helpful context. I’m also discovering my Irish roots, and determining my own personal spirituality. Lots of love, cheers! ❤️

Its nice to hear the cozy eerie sound of the wind again in your videos at 11:00 and 14:00. Winter in the northern hemisphere is certainly a time when we reflect deeper spiritually and in ways that gives us immense pleasure in being alive. It feels like fusing together with nature on an organic or genetic level based on our adaptable genes called phenotypes.

Have any of y'all heard of the weather prediction from before groundhogs day? It involves the temperature at imbalc, if the high temp on imbalc is higher than the day before, then winter will end early. I hear that in days of small villages they watch the crone if she restocks her wood pile for the stove then winter will be a bit longer. I use the temp difference one it hardly ever fails.

[@Mooks1111]

Thank you for this! I had an urge to purge and clean and talk to the elements today. :)

[@matthewroe4838]

I saw Snowdrops and Daffodils starting to pop up yesterday morning ❤

[@karennewbury6430]

Thank you Luna for this interesting and informative video. I'm Irish through my father. It's important to reconnect with one's history. Recognizing Imbolc reminds us that the days are getting longer, sunlight is returning, new growth will be sprouting through the snow covered ground, and hope returns. Winter carries a gloom that often depresses the soul. Imbolc marks a time for me to plan my kitchen garden. I would get out for a meditative walk if the ground wasn't still covered with icy patches. Blessings to you and yours.

[@purpleCupfish]

That was nice, I feel nice now.

[@BennyTheBall8899]

Hearing about all these things is so interesting, you present these videos so well and i forget my problems when i watch them.Thank you.❤

[@oathboundsecrets]

I feel like spring is right around the corner now in south-west Britain, there are lots of spring flowers popping up everywhere!

[@Lunaleodrune]

@@oathboundsecrets lovely! We still have a little way to go here :)

[@joandrummond524]

Thank you for another great video. Bless you, happy Imbolc, so I love the light nights coming back x

[@ev_ing]

I often struggle through January!! The dark can be very...dark. 😅 I've been enjoying your videos; thank you for making them!

[@stacykrisa5895]

Great video, love learning more about the history and traditions of the season. Looking forward to trying out your list of ideas.🥀

[@johnknowles4131]

Brilliant video very informative

[@Lycancass89]

Thanks for this! I am endeavoring to be more pagan/Wiccan this year. Really to just slow down & be more aligned with the cycle of the year. Be more mindful about moon cycles, seasons, etc. - be more connected with the earth & nature.

[@stevencarsley2446]

Another great video

[@pagancrafting]

I love the idea of creativity this time of year, Great video thank you for sharing ,

[@jessamymckay938]

I'm so excited to celebrate Imbolc this year 💚

[@Aja1bumby]

✨Hello from the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina✨ Excited to celebrate another wheel of the year! Love listening to your videos. Thanks for providing the awesome content!

[@007hwm3]

Thanks for this awesome video! I enjoy the historical side and personal experience while learning about the different holidays/ celebrations!

[@peachykuromi2447]

Im so fascinated with ur videos!! but one thing in my opinion might add a lil cosier vibe to them: adding some calm background music! just some delicate, witchylike sounds would be so atmospheric here

[@theoghamgrove7169]

Nice video. The midpoint between solstice and equinox, this year, falls upon 3rd Feb - if you are into precision - though, of course, the energy is a momentum that can last for days around that time. As some people wait for Hawthorn to blossom, to signify Beltane, I find myself looking for snowdrops for Imbolc :) The days are getting longer :)

[@BlueOwl999]

We barrely had snow this winter... mb in February... or awefully in April...

[@ekchavez80]

I love your long necklace, it's very pretty :)

[@sandrashane677]

The Sun is in the belly of the Capricorn goat at this time of year. Imbolg means in the belly in Irish. As above so below.

[@gusg.5916]

Hi Luna, don't forget to leave out your Brat-Bhríde, on Jan 31 for Brigid to bless when she passes by. Take Care

[@LeahWalentosky]

My birthday is on Feb 1st

Winter is my favorite season. Why is everyone looking forward to the awful heat of summer? Be different...

[@Briardie]

I do not think 'everyone' is looking forward to Summer. In the UK that would equate to a small handful of days each year anyway. It is the constant grey flat sheet, the sun trying desperately to break through. Last Winter in the UK we had 182 days of rain Oct-March. The seasons are not as fixed as they once were. So it is important to enjoy each day, regardless. It is the blue skies, natural fluffy white clouds and a little touch sun warming us, which I think a lot are wishing for. Even in Winter the sun is supposed to shine, dazzling off the snow. We are not getting that in the 2020s. Things are different because of changes with Nature, the Earth and our manmade interference. That is why following the true wheel of the year is uplifting. Embrace each beautiful day.

Not herd imbolc I have herd of Eastros being the early form of Easter.little worried if I light a flame might be a fire hazard😅 might give the cross a go

[@bjrnjohanhumblen525]

The snowdrops started growing late desember here in western Norway. Also i got the feeling that bad spirits wanted to sacrifice my old pet cat some years ago. Because everything, including the very cold weather. Came together to kill it 2 feb. A date used for sacrifices, among others. Although it could have been a coincidence. The rushes grow everywhere in wet ground here too, actually if you make a field for growing something and dont maintain it. Instead of grass you will have a field of rushes and birch trees. That also like wet ground.

Imbolc - woodpeckers first begin to drum, honeysuckle starts to leaf, mandrake's first leaftips peep up.....

Как вы думаете, почему викка такая малочисленная, и что можно сделать чтобы количество ее последователей увеличилось?

[@Nebraskydisc]

💜🧡💚💙

[@laceisaverb]

11:00 just an FYI that smudging is a specific Indigenous practice which is closed to outsiders unless you've been initiated within an Indigenous tradition. Smoke cleansing is a practice done by many different cultures throughout history and the globe, but smudging is a specific practice within that. The difference is that smudging has specific elements such as abalone shells and eagle feathers along with certain other ritual elements. In Celtic terminology, we would use the word "saining" which is a type of smoke cleansing which comes from Gaelic culture. Saining is what most white people mean when we talk about "smudging".

[@Lunaleodrune]

@@laceisaverb You are completely right, my bad here for the wrong terminology :)

Как жаль что викка не мировая религия. Верю, что у религии моего сердца все еще впереди .
