Imbolc

2018, 10” x 10” watercolor by Jenny Badger Sultan

February 1 is Imbolc, also called Candlemas and Bridgid’s Day, the beginning of Spring in northern Europe, when people give thanks for the growing daylight. Saint Bridgid (or Bridget or Brigid) is partly a Christian assimilation of the Irish version of the Great Goddess.

Imbolc and Bridgid are important to me because of my Dream of St. Bridget. I started with the hands and candles and let it develop from there.
