Beloveds in the Circle of Dancing Peace,
A reminder of tomorrow's online gathering of Raleigh NC Dances & Practices on Sat 7-Feb at 6 pm ET (UTC-5) / 3 pm PT / 11 pm GMT. Here's the Zoom link; complete connection details are below:
Our theme is Gracious Brigid: Honoring Imbolc & St. Brigid's Day. February 1st, St. Brigid's Day, is a national holiday in Ireland, acknowledged to be the First Day of Spring. The first lambs are born at this time. In the British Isles, February 2nd is known as Bears Day, instead of Groundhogs Day, because that’s when bears come out of hibernation. The Imbolc sacred cross-quarter season is traditionally recognized as being three days, January 31 through February 2.
At Imbolc, it is believed that Brigid passes over the land, spreading life-energy to awaken the sleeping plants, flowers, and animals from their winter slumber. It’s customary to leave cloth out overnight to receive Brigid’s powerful life-giving blessing, then to use strips of the cloth for healing and for generating inspiration throughout the coming year.
We'll begin our gathering on Saturday by Calling the Directions, lighting candles honoring Brigid of the Fire, Brigid of the Water, Brigid of the Earth, Brigid of the Air, and Brigid of the Center. We'll also celebrate Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan whose 99th Urs ("anniversary of passing") was celebrated worldwide yesterday! Please bring a light veil or scarf with you if you like, to use in free movement in the Dances. We hope you can join us!
