I really enjoyed the article and thought others might too! So for anyone else browsing for Imbolc inspirations, here a few highlights for you to consider:
Dandelions are associated with Brighid, and their bright yellow color is reminiscent of the sun- perfect for Imbolc! Dandelions are easy to find and make a healthy and delicious tea.
Pancakes and crepes are symbolic at this time of year- for saving the last of the wheat and also for the golden, round appearance. Wishes are made while flipping, and you can even hide things in the batter as a form of divination!
Blackberries are sacred to Brighid and also have a role in protective and prosperity magick. Consider making something yummy and magickal with these berries!
The article has more cooking tips and ideas- if you’re interested, I recommend giving it a read!
I’ve decided I’ll be making pancakes - with extra milk and butter, as well as blackberry jam if I can find it! And if I’m up for it, I’ll plan on buttery rosemary scones later in the day
I’m definitely gonna be making pancakes for breakfast that morning and maybe adding in some blueberries. I’ve found an amazing gluten-free pancake mix that I can also make plant-based and they are delicious!
Oh! We love pancakes, but I would love to make crepes. I haven’t had them since I was in high school. We made them in Home Ec & I loved them. My daughter was just asking about them too. Maybe we can find a good recipe to make them & enjoy them together.
Hooray- pancake buddies! Enjoy your blueberry pancakes, it sounds like you have a wonderful recipe!
I constantly forget that here in Europe “pancakes” are actually what Americans consider to be crepes- always causes a bit of confusion! Luckily they are both delicious- although I’ve always found thick and fluffy pancakes to be easier to make (crepes are so thin and delicate- hard to flip! )
Enjoy your crepes, Krissie!
Cheers to that, Kasie- we’re always on the same page it seems!
Can’t wait to see what kind of pancake recipe you’ll share
You know, the funny thing about the pancakes is that if I remember correctly, there is a tradition that Lora O’Brien and her family does where they make pancakes and the first one always goes to na daoine maithe [na dee-knee ma-hah] (The Good People, also known as the fae) that she works with. Not sure if I could find the link now, but it sounds familiar.
They are very delicate to make. I will see what we come up with. I will have Peanut look for some recipes this weekend and maybe we can make them. She loves to cook new things & find recipes. I’m sure I can get her to help me. I’m looking forward to it. I think I will get some whipped cream for them to go with the strawberries and raspberries.

It seems like a good way to please the Fae 
not generally! I did give it My Lady, though, and it was well received. They were delicious, too
