What is Imbolc ??

Imbolc (Candlemas) February 2nd

What is Imbolc or Candlemas ??

Imbolc (pronounced IM-bolk), which is often called Candlemas, is the time when Wiccans and Pagans celebrate the renewing fertility of the Earth. Imbolc occurs on February 2nd. It's no coincidence that many people celebrate Groundhog Day on this date. What is Groundhog Day but a way to let Nature reassure us that spring really will come?

Imbolc, a Greater or Major Sabbat, is a holiday of purification and of the renewed fertility of the Earth. The Greater or Major Sabbats -- Samhain, Beltane, Imbolc and Lughnassad -- occur at the cross quarters, the midpoints between solstice and equinox. They mark the turning of the seasons and are considered to be very powerful days in and of themselves. Midpoints are considered to be times of great power because most things in Nature reach the peak of their strength when they are in the middle of their lives.

Brigid - The Presiding Deity

Whether you call her Brigid, Brigit, Bricta, Bride (pronounced "breed"), or by another of the many variations of her name, this Celtic goddess of fire, water, smithcraft and the hearth is the presiding deity of Imbolc. The many blessings that she bestows include healing, fertility, protection, warmth, wisdom, sustenance, inspiration and creativity. Imbolc is a wonderful time to call upon her for blessings.

How to receive the Blessings of Brigid

Brigid is known for, among other things, her kindness to animals. Spreading Imbolc Blessing Powder (made by Mountain Magik) calls forth her blessings, and also provides winter food for birds and other small animals.

Imbolc Blessing Powder is available at the New Earth Center from MountainMagik. Your Imbolc Blessing Powder will be in a beautiful Glass Container, tied with ribbons.

On the morning of Imbolc (February 2nd) take your container of Imbolc Blessing Powder outside and sprinkle the powder around your home to attract blessings to yourself and your household. Start in the East. Some of the powder may also be left in a sea shell as an offering outside. You may also leave some of the powder outside in a bird feeder as an offering of food for all small animals and birds.

Whistling is a traditional way to invoke Brigid, so whistling cheerfully as you toss the powder adds to its magic. You will also receive an invocation, from Mountain Magik , on parchment paper.

The ribbons tied around the glass container may be retained as a charm.

About me:
I view my artwork more like a kind of magic... my goal is to create something that makes others feel something when they look at it. I've never been properly trained, I just follow my paintbrush. I feel my best pieces are those that come from the heart and with every piece I do I put as much of myself into it as possible. When I put brush to canvas I go into a trance like state and I am guided in spirit as I paint... I charge each painting with healing energies as it comes to life. My hope is that through my artwork others may find something special that may be needed in their life .. a bit of magic healing by way of paint and canvas.

Displaying my artwork for others to see is like showing them pieces of myself.. a very hard thing to do. It makes me very happy and proud that other people have liked what I do. Even if people stop buying my works of art, it will always be something I do.. I love it and hope that it shows each time I put my paintbrush to the canvas and each time I create something new.

I have participated in art shows in Glendale, CA., Tell City, IN., Gallatin, TN., Hendersonville, TN. and displayed in the gallery at Uncanny Evolutions in Chattanooga, TN . I have sold a combined total of more than 700 paintings worldwide. RavenTalker's Website

MidDay Meditation with Mikala

MidDay meditation with Mikala White Wolf at the New Earth Center, every Wednesday at Noon. Join Mikala during your lunch break and learn to relax and de-stress your week.

Professionals are under increasing pressure in their offices and on the road, as the bottom line grows in importance and competition in the marketplace becomes more intense. Many professionals bring work pressures home, increasing stress in their personal lives, and taking a toll on their health. This session is perfect for business professionals and executives who experience stress daily.

From ancient times until today, conscious breathing remains among the most powerful, effective, and natural methods for centering ourselves in presence and preparing our being for opening to the spirit. Breathing is a life force, something we do from the day we are born until the day we die. This makes it powerful, powerful enough to affect our relationships, facilitate our health, and calm our emotions.

From the dawn of our birth until the sunset of death, we breathe, always and everywhere. Indeed, breath defines our life and supports us body and spirit. Besides being central to life, ever-present, and connected to the spirit, breathing involves an easily noticeable complex of physical sensations. Thus, the practice of breath awareness was widely embraced by our ancestors in the spiritual pursuit.

The awareness of sensations that is created by conscious breathing provides a path for you to transform emotionally. This kind of focus allows you to experience a strong release from stress, allowing you to let go of your past traumas and demons instead of wasting energy holding them in.

Conscious Breathing accesses the inner power of the breath. By breathing in this manner, you're telling your body that it's safe for stress and fear to rise up; stress and fear have to be at the surface in order to be let go. Once they are let go, a sense of relaxation and serenity take over.

When you are concentrating on nothing but your breathing, you are letting go of past worries and future apprehensions. You are doing what everyone aspires to do: living in the present moment. In the present moment there are no worries, there is no heartache, everything is simply perfect. The more time you can spend in this present moment, the more your mind and body will adopt this notion of blissfulness.

Burning Bowl Ceremony

Join us at the New Earth Center for our Burning Bowl Ceremony, Monday Dec 28th at 7:30pm.

I always love the end of a year and the start of a new one. It is such a wonderful feeling to me, like a blank canvas, a starting over...a rebirth. I don't make New Years resolutions, but I do perform a different type of New Year ritual.

We will perform a Burning Bowl Ceremony. We all have regrets, fears, things from our past that we hold onto for one reason or another. Is'nt it time to finally let those negative energies go, to make space for Divine Love, healing and acceptance to take their place? If this speaks to your heart and you truly wish to rid yourself of some unwanted baggage than the Burning Bowl Ceremony is a wonderful way to release and let go of the past.

Once these issues have been burned-they are gone, there is no digging them up again in the future. This is your chance to truly free yourself of old fears that may be holding you back from realizing your true purpose here.

Release, Forgive and Move Forward!

A mala is a string of 108 beads with one bead as the summit bead call a 'sumeru'.

A mala is a tool used to keep your mind on the meditation practice. Malas are generally made from different materials such as tulsi wood, sandalwood, rudraksh seeds or crystals. Each type of material has certain properties which subtly affect the subconscious mind.

The mala beads are moved in rhythm with the breath and the mantra or affirmation.

The mala may be worn after it has been 'charged'.

Join us for this informative and free workshop about using a Mala. The use of a Mala will be discussed .... How, Why, What .... and we will do a Mala Meditation. Bring your Mala or they will be available at the New Earth Center.
