February 2nd...Groundhog Day!

It is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice & the Vernal Equinox. 


Brigid
or Candlemas, on February 2, is the festival of the Goddess Brigid, patron of poetry, healing, and metalsmithing. Brigid's poetry inspires me to shake off winter's sleep now, stretch and start to get ready for Spring. I am still drowsy.

In most areas in North America, February 2nd is usually a day during the most dismal part of the year weather wise. It is usually rainy or snowy and most often quite cold. This makes a perfect time for the Wiccan Festival of Lights! February 2nd marks the day of Imbolc, or in some traditions, Oimelc. The name of "Candlemas" comes to us by way of the Christians. This is the day that marks the beginning of the Spring season of growth. We can see the new budding flowers and the signs that Spring is on her way. Imbolc literally means "in the belly." In the womb of the Goddess Mother there are the beginnings of new life, waiting to explode into our view! The seeds that were planted in Her at the solstice are now growing and the new wheel grows. This is also the lambing season and so we get the word, Oimelc, which means "milk of ewes."

The Irish often call this day, "Brigit’s Day," in honor of the Goddess Brigit. She is considered a goddess of fire, so in Kildare, Ireland, a group of 19 women kept a flame burning in her honor. It was during this time that Brigit would bestow a special blessing on any woman about to be married, as another form of the name Brigit is "Bride." The Great Goddess of Ireland could never be called a demon by the Church, so instead, the Roman Catholics canonized her. She became "Saint Brigit, patron SAINT of smithcraft, poetry, and healing." The Church told the uneducated Irish peasant on the street that Brigit was really an early Christian missionary sent to the Emerald Isle, and that she performed miracles so the people there believed that she was a goddess. We don’t know why, but many of the Irish bought this. Another piece of lore commonly believed by the Irish was that Brigit was the mother of Christ. They gave no consideration to the fact that the boy never spent any of his childhood in Ireland.

This Holiday was often marked by the use of sacred fires, symbolizing the fire of birth and healing, the fire of the forge, and the fire of inspiration. Bonfires were lit and the chandlers celebrated their holiday. The Church was quick to make use of this symbolism as well, using "Candlemas" as the day to bless the candles that would be used in the church for the coming year. The following day, St. Blaise’s Day, was for using the blessed candles to bless the throats of the parishioners, keeping them from colds, flu and the like.

Imbolc is a great day for making candles! One custom is to put one in each window of your home and let them burn down until morning. For safety sake, you may not want to do this if you have pets or children. In all cases, make sure the candles are well secured form tipping. It is a very cheery picture to see a house on a dark dreary night to be lit up with candles. This is a good time for using candles in magick and in divination. It is an excellent time for cleansing and purification. It is the time to clean the house and bring in the bright new energy that comes with the birth of all things new that is brought by Spring.


http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/1614/Celtwicc/Wicca/Wicca04.htm


Another custom-instead of using candles is after sundown to turn on ALL the lights in the house-if only for a few minutes to encourage the sun to make a full return. Also, you are supposed to draw a picture of the sun in the snow with your finger.

Actually...it was Presidents Day. It is a common misconception to think of it is Washingtons Bday, when in fact it commemorates the birthdays of two Presidents - Abe Lincoln (February 12th) and George Washington (February 22nd). Most of the time, it happens to fall closer to Washington's actual date, but never on that date, because Presidents Day is observed on the 3rd Monday of February (so it can fall anywhere from the 15th to the 21st).

The community colleges and CSU's have observed it on the 31st...except for when it falls on the weekend. I know that in 2001 and 2007 when the 31st fell on a Saturday, observance was on Friday, the 30th...and in 2002 when it fell on a Sunday, it was observed the next day, Monday April 1st (which will occur again in 2013).
I know that the city of Oxnard observes it, and anytime it falls on a Monday or Tuesday (like it does this year), trash pickup is delayed a day.

March 28th: Earth Hour Day

We used to love while others used to play.
Dont ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

(chorus)
Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you dont ask the time of day.
But you and i, our love will never die,
But guess well cry come first of may.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.

Not murder it.  If Prince wants to beat him, I'll help him. I'll go get a soapbox for Prince to stand on.  ;)


I'm cool with Willy and Liam.  :)


Sorry got to disagree with this.  I prefer the Tom Jones/Art of Noise version.  I think he improved on a good song

I'm sorry, but I understand. And even though years go by, it's still sad.  April 28th was the anniversary of my brother. He died 7 hours after he was born and I never got to see him, I was too young to go to the hosp., He would be 29 now.  His name was Matthew. I named my son after him.   :)


my condolences.

Maybe Prince should record What's New Pussycat....and "dirty" it all up...... ;) 8)


Now that's something,can't wait to hear that version. ;D
