Today in the Northern Hemisphere, many of us who identify as witches and pagans are celebrating Imbolc. It’s no secret—these are heavy times. Cruelty and injustice are rising, from the highest offices to our own streets. It’s easy to feel powerless. But Imbolc reminds us that even in the deepest cold, renewal has already begun. Hold onto hope. Do not let them take that from you. Without hope, nothing else can bloom.
