Found you through Moonroot. I will happily join in. Last year was fabulous. I've posted the invite on my blog.

Amusingly, the word verification for today spells the word "conch".

It's amazing to think it's been four years now. My latest is once again inspired by Bride directly, and you'll know how to find it, dear friend, but for those who don't, here's the direct link:

Poem for Imbolc 2009

Thanks to anyone who heads over to read it, and feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. I'm now looking forward to some serious web-hopping as I leap from link to link on here, checking out everyone else's contributions to this truly special and, I believe, sacred cyberspace event!

I hope you all had a truly amazing Imbolc. Bride's transformative and creative power truly is, I've found, a rich blessing time and again. x

I posted "Catechism for a Witch's Child" along with a remembrance of my daughter who was initiated into womanhood on Brighid's Day. Still trying to figure out this linking thing. Thanks!
