Imbolic

Fires of Brighid

The seeds sleep beneath the earth,
So light the fires to Brighid
Candles burn in hearth and home
Warm and light the long cold days,
Rejoice in the knowledge of the old ways
Once more the wheel turns
As we wait the suns warm raise

A seasonal painting done in watercolour, influenced by the recent snow we've experienced. Reminding us of the beauty of nature, the power it holds and the ability not to be controlled or even acurately forcast for any length of time.

Belief from within lets the magic begin.

Hymn to Sol
(inspired by Rig-Veda Book 1 Hymn to Surya)

Her bright beams, aloft are born
fairest of face, the bright fulgor;
Grace-shine the bringer of beauty.
Across Ymir's day-nascent skull -
Her rays herald like hunting horns
So refulgant from afar.
Beacons that burn and blaze.
Swift and sublime, you are Sunna
Maker of light, illuminator.

You brighten Gods, lighten all beings
traversing sky, bring day to birth
with brilliance your beams mark days
over the business of being.
Early To Wake and Very Quick
bear your wagon, the lovely wheel
across the sky, God-blithe Glen's wife.
All-Bright remove my hearts disease
with your all-conquering vigour.
Most dear is fire to the sons of men,
most sweet the sight of the sun;
good is health if one can but keep it,
and to live a life without shame. (Havamal 68)
