2024 Imbolc Celebration

Imbolc comes at the time of the year when the sun is definitely getting stronger, though it is the coldest time of the year. This is a time to be indoors, getting ready for the spring which is coming—eventually. This used to take the form of refurbishing the tools for farming and animal husbandry. Now we aren’t agrarian people much anymore, though we do use tools. Nowadays our tools are computers and other modern contrivances.

This year WiCoM, the Wiccan Church of Minnesota will celebrate Imbolc with a blessing of the tools and what they create. We are asking all attendees to bring a symbol of the tools they use for blessing. A memory stick from a computer, a cooking or baking tool, an actual tool for whatever you may make; be creative! Just keep it small please, no lawn mowers or chain saws other large items that cannot sit on a small side table.

Imbolc will be celebrated Saturday evening, February 3^rd in the MVUUF fellowship hall, Minnesota Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 10715 Zenith Ave. South, Bloomington, MN 55431.  We will gather at 6:30pm and the ritual starts at 7pm, with explanations beforehand. After the ritual we will have a potluck feast, so please bring something to share, if you can. 

See you at Imbolc! Blessed Be
