Charming the Plow, Feast of Barri, and Disablot (2015)

Hail to All,

So this is February 2nd and for most people this means celebrating Imbolc. However Imbolc is a Celtic holiday and we Heathens celebrate it but call it by a different name. That's holiday is called Charming the Plow. It's a time to bless the till and the plow, signalling the beginning of the spring festivals. It's a holiday that's centered around Mother Earth and the first furrow is cut. There's another holiday called the Feast of Barri, This is a time to celebrate that marriage of Freyr and Gerd and we plant our seeds in small cups and water them, feed them, and get them ready for our Spring gardens.

Now Disablot can happen today or it can happen on the 14. I chose today. Disablot, or Idis-thing, centers around women. If female ancestors were not honored at Winter's Night, they may be celebrated with their own feast when winter is beginning to give way to spring. So, either way, spring is just around the corner and soon all these cold days will be over and the warmth of spring will be here. I hope that you all have a good one and a wonderful multiple feasts and holidays.

HAIL TO ODIN!!!! HAIL TO THOR!!!!
