Happy first day of spring! You may be buried in snow, but according to the Celtic calendar, February 1 marks the first day of spring and celebrates the season’s increasing daylight. It falls halfway between the winter solstice and the “spring” equinox.
In our first 2024 Fire and Light podcast, “Ordinary Plenty: Celtic Spirituality,” Dave Denny and Tessa Bielecki share stories of living in Ireland. We highlight the wonder of burning peat fires, ancient megalithic ruins, and meeting Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney. We celebrate the “ordinary plenty” in everyday life and savor the Divine we experience through our five senses, in “each thing that I pursue in my life… and mine ever-living soul.”
Revisit my Candlemas reflection here. And enjoy Tessa’s further reflections on February’s feasts, including St. Brigid of cows (and beer!) here.
