Five years ago this week, I had one of those life-changing experiences that continues to teach me lessons. I had been blessed for many years prior to that day with amazing experiences with four-legged, winged, crawling, and swimming “people” – circled by Eagle, eye-to-eye communication with Hawk, a conversation with Fox, and more.

Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox and represents the quickening of Mother Earth, when life stirs deep within the land, bringing the promise of spring. Imbolc comes on February 1 this year. Mother Earth awakens, even as it feels [...]
