Blessed Imbolc to you! We are entering our second year of business here at Our Celtic Hearth and much gratitude to you all that we began this project. We look forward to welcoming you to our space this season. *Remember to get your season pass for 1, 2, or 3 classes per week with Ailsa and Declan. See below for upcoming events and classes.

First, A few words to ponder:

Imbolc Poem
- The seed I planted in the earth
Will slumber 'neath the snow.
And many days will come and pass
Before I see it grow.

But when the harvest-time has come
And crops are gathered in
I'll breathe a quiet prayer of thanks
That I chose to begin.

The Wheel of the Year is turning, slowly but surely, toward Spring. Energy and Life are returning after a long, dark Winter. The time for peaceful slumber is nearly over. Blessed Imbolc to you and yours.

Warmly

Ailsa and Declan
