Did you know that Groundhog Day is actually the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and The Spring Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere)? In the Pagan religions this is a time when the goddess transforms from crone to spring maiden. It was also a time to light fires to celebrate the Goddess Brigit.
Since the Catholic missionaries did not want to lose new followers in ancient Ireland, they called this time Candlemas and turned it into a time to bless the candles that were to be used in the coming year.
For me personally this is a time to STOP and see what is out of balance. It is a time of looking inward at my own shadow (rather than the groundhog) and seeing what course corrections I choose to make.
I’d love to hear what you do for Candlemas!
