Gather a white candle, matches, something to write with & on. Start at dusk.
Stand at a threshold facing the fading light. Say: “I honor winter’s lessons and what has passed.”
Turn to face inward or away from the setting sun. Say: “I honor spring’s potential and what is coming.”
Move to your altar or working space. Light your candle and say: Brigid of the flame, of the forge, of inspiration, I kindle this light in your honor. Bless what is beginning.”
Write on your paper what you’re releasing: old patterns, fear, doubt, whatever you’re leaving behind.
Burn it safely in the candle flame (use caution). As it burns, say: I release what no longer serves and cross the threshold unencumbered. I walk forward into light.
Sit with your candle for as long as you like. Reflect on what you’re calling in for the coming season. When ready, thank Brigid (or whatever feels right). Let the candle burn out or put it out safely.
