Imbolc Seasonal Correspondences
Early February or Early August
Correspondences aren’t arbitrary – they grow from the energy and mythology of the sabbat itself. At Imbolc, we work with colors of early light, clear quartz for clarity and new beginnings, amethyst for spiritual purification, basil, bay, blackberry, myrrh.
