It is Mabon 20th March 2023 – a time of balance and a time to be grateful for all I have been given. I am grateful for my husband, children, dog and other people in my life who love me for being exactly who I am and who understand me.

Painful days mean I am still alive and get to be in this

Although she had opened the door, she still faced the street as she could not bear to step inside and face the memories embedded in the walls. Not all the memories were bad, but some had broken her. Tentatively she turned and stepped across the threshold as she had for the first time when everything was still wine and roses. As she placed her hand on the cool granite count

I, however, view the Imbolc Sabbat as mainly a fire festival to welcome in the Celtic Goddess Brigid therefore it feels right to me to celebrate her when the sun is most fierce in Australia; this being the month of February.
