This is going to be a long post since a lot is going on with me. Generally, the ritual portion of today's celebration will not be so long, as I like things a little less formal, but must needs this year. So Lá Fhéile Bríde (Imbolc) is going to be a little more involved than I plan on going forward. It will also be more than a welcoming of spring and celebration of Brigid; it will be a petition, a renewal, and an oath of study and service.
Also, normally, cleansing and purification would be more one-step. A combination process of sorts, but I am in need of a deep, deep physical and spiritual cleanse—and have been for some time, really—so, multi-step-multi-day process for me!
Things'll simple up after the day.
