Come February, we look toward spring. Imbolc reminds us of Brighid’s fire, and so this month we focus on creativity and inspiration to hold us through the last gasps of winter. For our Full Moon ritual, we focus on Brighid and her fiery nature. Brighid rules over the spheres of poetry, healing, and smithery. Decorate your alter with a red cloth and set three candles out: black, red, and white. Add a jug of cream as a libation to the Goddess, then around the base of the altar, arrange the items you use in art, writing, or other creative projects. Cast a circle and invoke Lady Brighid, then light the candles, Say:

Lady Brighid of forge and fire, hear now my heart’s desire.

Spend some time in quiet meditation after this simple but effective ritual. Affirmation for the Quickening Moon: I am creative and inspired.
