On February 1, 2014, Wiccans will celebrate the Wheel of the Year festival of Imbolc or Candlemas. It’s a traditional time for initiation rituals and for spells that celebrate the return of longer days.
Another theme for Imbolc is “energy flowing beneath the surface,” which can take on many symbolic meanings. My Simple Wiccan Magick Wheel of the Year Guide has a spell to help you release any blocked energy – love, creativity, happiness – so you can attract more of the same.
Imbolc Correspondences
