    What It Is

    February 1–2 — the cross-quarter between winter solstice and spring equinox. The light is visibly returning. Brigid, goddess of hearth, poetry, healing, and the smithy, walks the land.

    How to Observe It

    Light every lamp in your home for a moment tonight. Braid a Brigid's cross or write a poem. What is quickening under the frozen ground of your life?
