IMBOLC CANDLE RITUAL
This ritual is adapted from a ritual written by Patti Wigington

SUPPLIES: 4 tea candles & something to light them with

✧ Light the first candle & say, to yourself or out loud, in whatever words come to you:

Even though we’re still in winter, there is new life stirring in the darkness.

✧ Light the second candle & say:

I call in the light & the fire of the growing sun. I call on its power to spark new life deep in the dark.

✧ Light the third candle & say:

Like fire, wisdom, inspiration & new life will always grow — just like the first spring flowers stirring in the dark.

✧ Finally, light the last candle. As you do, visualize the four flames coming together as one. As the light builds, see the energy growing in a purifying glow.

I call on these flames to cleanse & purify me as I move into the time of new life coming manifest. Fire of the hearth, blaze of the sun, fill me in your shining light.

✧ Take a few moments and meditate on the light of your candles. Think about this sacred day, a time of healing & inspiration & purification.

Do you have something damaged that needs to be healed? Are you feeling stagnant, for lack of inspiration? Is there some part of your life that feels toxic or tainted? Visualize the light as a warm, enveloping energy that wraps itself around you, healing your ailments, igniting the spark of creativity, and purifying that which is damaged.

✧ Spend a few minutes afterward writing your thoughts & reflections in your journal.
