February 1st is the Wiccan festival of Imbolc, or Candlemas. Though we can finally see the days growing longer, we still require strength and fortitude to endure the rest of winter. In traditional Witchcraft, Imbolc is a time for initiation but we can also perform rituals to tap into hidden vibrations.
Imbolc Candlemas Ritual to Release Blocked Energy
If you need an Imbolc ritual, my Wheel of the Year eBook has a spell to help identify and release any hidden energy. NOTE: This ritual takes one and a half days to complete, as you will freeze a small crystal in moon water prior to performing the ceremony, so plan accordingly.
Imbolc Correspondences
Colours & Candles: white, silver, aqua
Herbes & Oils: bay, basil, hyssop, myrrh, sandalwood

You will find rituals and recipes for every Wiccan festival in my Wheel of the Year guide. My Witches’ Cook Book has recipes for each sabbat and full moon.
If you live in the southern hemisphere, (Australia, New Zealand, South America, etc.) you will be celebrating Lammas and doing spells to generate increased good fortune.
Blessed be and Happy Imbolc!
