Imbolc Sabbat Kit

Celebrate Imbolc (Candlemas) the Witch Joseph Way…with this Imbolc, Candlemas Sabbat Kit…Your observance can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be…this kit makes it easy for you.

Imbolc is generally celebrated Feb. 1st and Feb 2nd.  Some say it occurs when the Sun transits 15 degrees Aquarius so check with an ephemeris or trusted source if this is when you decide to celebrate.

Imbolc is a Celtic festival that celebrates the first stirrings of Spring deep within the Earth. 

This is the time of the feast of torches and flame, when every lamp blazes and shines to welcome the returning Spring.  We give honor to the Great Goddess Bridget, Lady of Fire, Healing, Crafting and Joy…and we give thanks for Her many gifts and blessings.

 This kit includes a handmade Imbolc votive candle…to place in the cauldron or in the center to be lit at the appropriate time in the ceremony.  The Kit has a suggested declaration to be read for a simple candle lighting to honor the holy day…and there is a suggested ritual pattern/structure included that you can follow to create your own full ritual…it’s all up to you…as always, follow your inner light, your guides and your intuition…and you won’t go wrong.  Take what resonates with you and ignore the rest.

Also included are two chime altar candles in Sabbat colors…and an incense cone to utilize during the ritual.

This ritual is derived from my own practices over the years and there were many sources that influenced me and inspired my practices, including these rituals…they are: the Reclaiming tradition, Starhawk, Janet and Stewart Farrar, Raymond Buckland, Scott Cunningham and many others.

Each kit also comes with a complimentary Charm necklace with a Witch charm on it…as a thank you for supporting Witch Joseph…we appreciate you so very much.

We wish you the blessings of the Imbolc season…Blessed Be! Xoxox

Each Kit includes: 1 Sabbat Votive Candle, 2 Altar Chime Candles in Sabbat colors, Incense Cone, Ritual Outline for an expanded Ritual and complete suggestions for a Sabbat candle lighting ceremony/ritual.  Also candle safety instructions (please exercise common sense when burning candles or incense and always follow industry guidelines for safety.) As previously mentioned, Each kit also includes a complimentary Witch charm necklace as a special thank you for supporting us at Witch Joseph.

When using your kit…you can freely adapt anything in the suggestions…also feel free to adapt them to solitary use, which is fairly easy to do.  The ritual outline is included so that you can more easily design a more complex ritual using your own elements…ie casting the circle, invocation ect.  Do what works for you.

Candle and Incense Safety:

Always burn candles and incense in appropriate Heat resistant fire proof holders that follow industry safety standards.

Burn within sight: A reminder to keep an eye on all burning candles, and extinguish a candle before leaving a room…many Witches keep a candle snuffer for this purpose.  (Some believe that blowing a sacred candle out is insulting to the salamanders…and we don’t want them upset.)

Keep away from combustibles: A cue to pay attention to your surroundings. Keep burning candles away from  furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, and other flammable objects.

 Keep away from children: Make sure your candles are placed up high and unreachable to children and pets.
