Artist's Comments

IMBOLC :


It is celebrated on Febuary 2nd and is the Festival of the returning spring.
Symbolically, Imbolc is the return of the Goddess (Mother nature) to the outside earth. After a long rest in the inner realms since Halloween (Samhain) when there was no visible growth and the energy returned to under the earth, now she emerges as a young girl with the first shoots of spring tentively appearing from the cold soil. This is the Goddess or nature in her Maiden aspect.

Snowdrops,candles (representing the first flickers of light back into the waxing year) and the New Moon are all symbols ascociated with this festival.


Model the beautifull :hug:

Beautiful work! All of the elements work together perfectly. I like the carved wood walls/trees.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
