Imbolc is a celebration of many things to many people, but one thing is clear -- for folks in the Northern Hemisphere, it's the halfway point between the dark of winter and the beginning of spring. The Roman celebration of Lupercalia, which takes place around this same time, brings with it a purification theme, as does the Christian celebration of Candlemas. This festival of light is the perfect time to honor the gods or goddesses of your hearth and home.
Although the Pagan holiday of Imbolc is traditionally associated with the goddess Brighid, there are a number of other deities who have a connection to the onset of Spring. Find out who they are, and how they correspond to this time of year.
