Here is this week's schedule. You are getting this note as
there was a suggestion for an email to be sent weekly,
advising members who will be serving on the platform.
Also included is a list of upcoming events. Hope that this
is helpful to you!
Imbolc or Candlemas
Imbolc, in the Celtic seasonal calendar, marks the beginning of
the lambing season and signals the beginning of Spring and the
stirrings of new life. It is Feile Brighde, the “quickening of the year.”
It's the promise of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awakening
and life-force stirring. Here is hope. We welcome the growth of
the returning light and witness Life's insatiable appetite for
rebirth. It is time to let go of the past and to look to the future,
clearing out the old, making both outer and inner space for
new beginnings. This can be done in numerous ways, from
spring cleaning your home to clearing the mind and heart to
allow inspiration to enter for the new cycle. It's a good time
for wish-making or making a dedication.
Imbolc is traditionally the great festival and honoring of
Brigid, so loved as a pagan Goddess that her worship
was woven into the Christian church as St Bridget. She
is a Goddess of healing, poetry, and smithcraft. She is a
Goddess of Fire, of the Sun, and of the Hearth. She brings
fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to
midwives and newborns. She is the Triple Goddess, but at
Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect.
Mediumship Meetup Class
Frank Kotowski, Jr. is facilitating this mediumship group, which
is open to both SCOL members and non-members,
only $10 per class.
These classes are to help you build your intuitive and
mediumistic abilities. Beginners are welcome!
Last week's class was very well attended,
and everyone walked away with new insights into themselves.
We also shared and enjoyed being together in the high vibrations.
