Goddess Rituals for a Lovely Imbolc
Imbolc springs from Gaelic traditions and roughly translates to “in the belly,” offering reference to where seeds of new beginnings start. Also known as Candlemas, this sabbat celebrates the end of the cold winter months and looks forward to the warmth, light, and abundance of spring. Imbolc also celebrates Brighid, the patron goddess of fire. Here, we offer two enchanting rituals to celebrate your own inner goddess and bring new light – and maybe love – into your life, courtesy of The Practical Witch’s Love Spell Book by Cerridwen Greenleaf.
Goddess Glow Ritual Bath
Indulge in this sensually satisfying ritual bath that will make your skin glow and surround you with a seductive aura. You will need the following:
- 3 ounces apricot kernel oil
- 3 ounces sweet almond oil
- 1 ounce aloe vera gel
- ½ ounce rosewater
- 13 drops jasmine essential oil
- 6 drops rose essential oil
- 2 ounces dried chamomile flowers and yarrow
- 1 rose or red candle
Shake this mixture together in a jar or bottle before pouring into a bathtub filled with warm water and sprinkled with dried chamomile flowers and yarrow. (If you prefer, you can keep the herbs contained in cheesecloth but still partake of their essence by allowing it to infuse into the water.)
Light the rose or red candle (for passion), and say:
My heart is open, my spirit soars,
Goddess, bring my love to me. Blessed be.
