Below is a complete directory of all our folders in this gallery. Here at #PaganArts, we encourage our members to submit their art to folders based on subject matter over the type of medium used in its creation. For example, if you have an acrylic painting of Thor, we encourage you to submit it to Gods instead of Traditional Media. With this folder directory, there's no reason to misplace a submission.

Since there are many paths and traditions, and we had some great past blogs on the subject, I thought I'd link us up to those to talk in more depth about the holy day that many pagans are observing around now.

Imbolc, also known as Bride's Day, Candlemass, Oimelc, and Brid's Day, is usually celebrated on February 1st or 2nd. Originated in Ireland as a holy day for Brigid, the Great Mother Goddess, who was in the form of a bride for the returned Sun God after giving birth of the God, the Goddess awakens from her recovery by the lengthening days of light. The Earth begins to feel this warmth, marking a return to the months of Spring. Imbolc is also a festival of Fires, to symbolize the coming return of life and the replenished powers of the Sun.

In the Northern Tradition (Germania, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon areas) we see the Holy Tides of Charming of the Plough which is about the blessings of the fields and of the livelihoods of the people for a prosperous year ahead. We also have the observance of Disting, which in addition to other ritual observances also had a specific observance called a Disablot to the female ancestors you can read on those in depth here:
