Imbolc traditionally begins at sundown on February 1. With many parts of the world still coated in rain or snow, we honor this changing of the seasons with the glowing of a candle flame. For this spell you will need a tealight candle, some sprigs of greenery if you have any available (to help with atmosphere), and a clean space on your windowsill. On the windowsill place the tealight and greenery. Safely light your candle and say:

Around the world, winter is
taking its last breaths,
And stirrings of spring rise
from the darkness.
I light this candle to honor
the wisdom and inspiration
that comes from new life.
As the wheel of the Earth
moves, I move with it.

Close your eyes and think about what new things you are preparing for in your life. Place your hands close to the flame, letting the heat remind you of passion and motivation for the coming season. Sit and meditate for as long as you feel is necessary, then blow out your candle if it is still burning.
