Imbolc Lore: The Fire in the Belly
Mystery School of the Goddess: Inspiring Imbolc!
Day 1: Journal Prompts & Altar Creation
1. What feelings does this time of year/Season bring up for you?This time of the year always feels sleepy (like those moments right before you've decided to get out of bed in the morning, when the pull of darkness and sleep still has hooks in you, no matter the amazing things planned for your day already) and like a growing light, that I can see and feel in the world. I definitely start feeling the spur on into the new year from the societal new year change, a need to start cleaning, to review my short and long term goals, my budget, whether I'm doing what I should be where I should be to get to where and who I want to be.
2. What is Winter like where you live? What do you like about it? What do you dislike?I live in the very middle of Texas where winter is incredibly mild, and this year even more than most. We have almost always gotten 2-3 hard freezes, but this year it's arguable whether we even got 1. It's been mildly cold in our mornings, even the law 40's, but then our evenings are unseasonably warm, in the 70's-80's already in January. I really dislike it.
3. What do you hope to awaken or feel quicken in your life this year?Creativity, passion, community, health, wealth and on and on and on. I have a very long list and several guide plan piece helping me move in the direction of the ways I want to go with all of the things I'm looking at wanting in my life during this year and on into the duration of the future.
4. What do you hope to heal or continue to heal?My soul and my heart due to my recent break wherein I decided I could long stay in or abide by the newest reveals about the changes that have happened/are still coming for RCG. Wanting to rid myself of feeling marginalized, silenced, lied to, and/or a good bit of shame for being a supporter of this system that I had not seen portraying itself like this until it was too late.
5. What spiritual, creative, or practical goals would you like to see manifest?There is a long list of these for me and they fill 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, 10 year, Lifetime pages inside my Rituals for Living Dreambook. I have been including quite a lot in all of these, but especially focusing on health, travel, love/family, career, friendship, all communities, happiness, spirituality, creative, education, community/charity and money.
