February 1st is the Wiccan Wheel of the Year festival Imbolc, or Candlemas. At this time, we notice the days are growing longer and sense that spring is finally on its way. But we still need courage and inspiration to see us through the rest of the winter. In traditional Witchcraft, Imbolc is a time for initiation. But it’s also a good opportunity for spells that tap into hidden vibrations.
Imbolc Candlemas Ritual to Release Blocked Energy
If you need an Imbolc ritual, my Wheel of the Year eBook Simple Wiccan Magick Spells and Ritual Ceremony has a spell to help identify your trapped energy and release it for your benefit. The spell takes one and a half days to complete, as you will freeze a small crystal in water before the ceremony.

If you live in the southern hemisphere, (Australia, New Zealand, South America, etc.) you should read my posts on Lammas, the Wiccan festival of appreciation for prosperity and a time to generate more good fortune in our lives.
Blessed be and Happy Imbolc!
