ImbolcImbolic is an important day of the purification and initiation; on the Sun's day, February 2, the energies are very airy. This Sabbat is a good day for coven work, with an emotionally detached masculine Moon and Sun on the Sun's Day.Dress yourself and your altar in white, while serving white beverages or any dairy food to honor the calving season. Spread the top of a one-pound round Camembert or Brie cheese with raspberry preserves. Cut a circle of puff pastry large enough to cover the cheese, and wrap it, tucking the ends of the pastry under. Use scraps to decorate Goddess symbols. Brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake at 425° until golden, and serve hot and melting on crackers. During this ritual, bless and dedicate all the candles you will need for ritual work throughout the year. A good way to start the ceremony is to light candless in a darkened room with chanting to encourage the lengthening days.
