Imbolc is celebrated from sundown on February 1st until sundown on February 2nd each year here in the Northern hemisphere. This holiday celebrates the first inkling of Spring and welcomes in new growth and the return of warmth to the land. Discover the best crystals and a card spread for Imbolc!
Imbolc is the perfect time to hold space for renewal, fertility, purification, rebirth, hope, growth, planning, and new beginnings.

*If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll be celebrating the festival of Lughnasadh today instead of Imbolc to keep with the seasonal cycles. Imbolc is usually celebrated on August 1st in the Southern hemisphere.

Interpreting Card #1: FOUNDATION
Which things, people, or practices are currently supporting you and providing a strong foundation in your life?
This card helps summarize the supporting influences in your life. These sources of support may be people, things, or your own personal habits or practices. Regardless of which category they fall into, they are currently helping to provide a strong and stable foundation for you, so you may want to consider how you can incorporate them in a bigger way. It’s also important to recognize them so that you can show your gratitude, especially for the people in your life who have helped you during the darker times leading up to this new season of illumination and the return of the Sun.
Interpreting Card #2: DIRECTION
In which situations or areas of your life do you currently feel lost and how can you regain your sense of direction & clarity?
Are you feeling a bit lost and out of sorts as you emerge from the dark winter season into the first light of spring? This card is all about regaining your sense of direction, getting clear on your purpose, and flowing along the path that the universe is placing before you so that you feel more at ease.
Interpreting Card #3: GROWTH
Which parts of you deserve your attention so that you may better understand yourself and grow as a person?
Is there an area of your life you’ve been neglecting? Have you slipped up with your boundaries, self-care, or interpersonal relationships? Living through the past few years on high alert in the midst of a pandemic, most of us are teeming with anxiety and are just doing our best to hold it together. But the challenges we’ve all faced have also shown many of us things about ourselves that we didn’t know before. As difficult as things have been, this has also been a time of deep self-reflection and getting to know ourselves more intimately. This card is shining a light on the parts of yourself that deserve your full attention right now – to deepen that intimate connection with yourself. What have you gotten to learn about yourself over the past few months (or years)? How have you grown as a person? How will you choose to continue to grow?

Interpreting Card #4: ILLUMINATION
What lessons does the Universe want you to know that are in store for you at this time?
This card is a special message for you directly from the Universe. It encapsulates what the universe most wants you to know right now at this time in your life – about who you are, about the lessons and events that are in store for you. Remember that nothing is set in stone, and a card reading is only as good as your interpretation…so don’t get too stuck on specifics here – this is more about looking ahead at the bigger picture. What is the message that the Universe is whispering to you right now? What do you think this means for you as you look ahead? This is a little nudge along with some wisdom & guidance to keep you moving in the right direction.
