Imbolc Prayer

February 02, 2014 by Elizabeth Barrette
Color of the day:  Orange
Incense of the day:  Hyacinth
 
The name Imbolc means "ewe's milk," and this holiday originally celebrated the time when the sheep herd increased. New lambs are born and the ewes come into milk in late winter. This represents the return of life.
Celebrate the day by giving thanks for all the things that sheep have given us. They grow wool for the spinning into yarn and cloth. Their milk makes excellent cheese. Some people also enjoy lamb meat. You can wear wool clothes today or serve foods that are associated with sheep. Use this prayer for thanksgiving:

"Sheep in the barn,
Woolly and warm,
We give our thanks
For all you form:
Fleece for sweaters
And milk for cheese,
Lambs that scamper
Quick as you please."
