Imbolc Festival: Hekate's Feast

$0.00

The Threshold Season

Imbolc sits at the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, when the nights are still long but the light has begun to linger. Seeds stir in the dark soil and the earth takes a slow breath in. It is neither winter nor spring, and that in-between space is where this gathering lives.

Two goddesses are honored during this time.

Brigid, the Celtic goddess of hearth and flame, poetry, and healing, is the keeper of Imbolc, and her fire is the first spark of the returning year.

Hekate, the ancient goddess of crossroads, doorways, and keys, stands at every threshold with her torch raised, guiding us between seasons and between who we have been and who we are becoming. One holds the flame and the other lights the way through the door.

Hekate’s Feast: Communal Potluck

Hekate’s Feast is a tradition of sharing a meal in her honor, setting a place at the table for the unseen, and giving thanks for the turning points in our lives. Join us for a potluck feast and bring a dish of your choice, whether it’s something warm and hearty, a family favorite, or a simple offering for the table.

We’ll be pouring hot mulled cider and hot mulled wine, spiced and steaming, to warm your hands and your heart, and live music will carry us through the gathering. Everyone is welcome at the table.

The Maiden and the Stag: Interactive Play

At the center of the festival is an interactive play about the hunt and the maiden of spring, a story of awakening, new beginnings, and the tender green courage it takes to emerge from winter. You won’t just watch from the sidelines (unless you want to). You’ll be invited to step into the tale, carry the light, and help bring spring back to life.

Tickets are optional and donation-based. Give what feels right, and know that everyone is welcome at the table.
