Today I am taking you through my Imbolc celebration to give you some fun ideas on how to celebrate Imbolc or the midwinter festival! This witch vlog is full of folk witchcraft for the season, pagan traditions and customs for Imbolc, and ancient knowledge for Candlemass. Of course, we will dig a bit deeper into different European ways of celebrating Imbolc, do some festive (and fattening) kitchen witchery with corresponding ingredients, learn more about symbols related to Imbolc and discover why Imbolc transformed into the catholic holidays most people know today.
We are going to make a folk witch protection charm for bad dreams, bake incredibly yummy filled donuts, and finally tackle cleaning and cleansing my storage... help xD
