It's hot. It's cold. Sweaters and then T-shirts. But there is a reason for all this craziness. February is a time when the earth starts to stir from it long Dark Nap. It’s a time when we look deep inside ourselves, block out all the mess and stress around us, and find our Inner Light - our creative fires. The main holiday in February is Imbolc or Bridget’s Day. Bridget is the goddess of (or patron saint, depending on your belief system) creativity in the form of healing, black smithing, and poetry. Find your creative side this year. Light as many white candles as you can. Put some clean snow in a bowl (if you have no snow due to the 70-degree weather like me, use ice from the fridge or rain water, light the candles and visualize inspiration flowing into the water. Let the candles burn out as you meditate. Then drink the water. Also on Bridget's Day we take bundles of corn, dress them in ribbon and lace and hang them on our front doors to bring prosperity and fertility into our homes. It's also a great day to do healing and love spells.

This month's Full and New Moons share a common theme of inspiration and creativity, release and renewal. Start by cleaning your personal space, or at least make a few neat and manageable piles. Then make a list of all the bad habits and negative things (or people) in your life. Light a black candle and burn the list in the flame. Then light a white candle and ask fore the ability to receive - love, success, whatever you need right now.
