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:

okay, so, i don't know if anyone cares but people are teaching me spiritual stuff in my dreams.
Two nights ago, in my sleep, i was at this ceremony where me and another girl were starting our spiritual journey. in the ritual i was told that i was a sort of bridge between universes
Last night i went to a sort of church. I went to the back room and there was a lady there. the same round table was there and she had a foggy crystal ball, as well. she told me about negative energy and to have garlic in my room to prevent it.
What do you guys think?

I think it would be a good idea to put garlic in your room if I were you. Can't hurt, and it has been known for centuries as being excellent for preventing negative energy. You might also research protective charms, for your house, and for yourself. Just my humble opinion :D

I have a Question for any and all, I am in a bad state of mind and I am in need of a EMOTON, PSYCHI, MENTAL CLEANSING RITUAL. I remeber a friend once using cord or yarn, vines or soft wood and a binding type of ritual. That person is no longer here so I can not ask her. I am a Solitary practioner and have no circle to turn to. Also no $. Needs to use found objects or things that I may have on hand. Any advice is welcome!

Blessed BE!

Here are a couple links I can give to you. I'm not sure if they'll fulfill your needs, but I hope it's at least a good start. One's a real simple purification spell, and the other is a link to a forum.

Thank you and Bright Blessings to you, I am greatful for any all help and advice that I am given. The Winter season, though beautiful, tends to be a hard time of year for me to start with. I used to love it. Depression has been a Growing tumor in my Psyche. It has been growing for many years and it will not be easy to shed but hopefully with prayer and dedication I will be able Live my Life once again.

Blessed Solstice and Good Yule!
