Imbolc (or Imolg) is a festival of returning light and the beginning of Spring, celebrated on or around 1st February. It is a Celtic tradition stemming from Neolithic Ireland and Scotland, marking the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

The word Imbolc derives from the Old Irish i mbolg meaning 'in the belly', when the seeds of life first start to swell and survival till spring is assured. It is a time to nurture creativity and ideas that come from in the belly, under the snow, in the earth. Understory, undercurrent, underground, fire in the belly, rebirth, restore, possibility.
