Imbolc & Candlemas - Celebration of New Beginnings!
A Winter Connection to Heart-Warming Inspiration via Sacred Circle Dances & ChantsWe celebrate the cross-quarter holy day [='sabbat'] of 'Imbolc' [Ewe's milk time] which marks the end of winter and beginning of spring. The days are still short and cold but NATURAL changes are "spring-ing forth" - the sheep are ready for lambing, bulbs are shoot-ing up, birds are donning their prenuptial plumage.
Imbolc calls us to let go the heaviness and torpor of winter and come together as a community to share UPLIFT, PLANS, DREAMS and VISIONS for our Spring projects. We are connecting to our natural process of GERMINATION - finding our pure intent and potential for growth and fulfilment!
Our Imbolc/Candlemas Celebration includes these Ancient Sacred Circle Dances/Chants...
"May the Circle Be Open! - But Unbroken!" From "Ancient Mother" Album by Robert Gass & On Wings Of Song |
| Hoof and Horn - Connecting to the Cycles of Life A Dance of Universal Peace honouring the Celtic Tradition of Hunter [Horned God] & Gatherer [Green Man] Hoof and Horn, Hoof and Horn! All that Dies shall be Reborn! Corn and Grain, Corn and Grain! All that Falls shall Rise Again! A circle dance version of the ancient chant of our Celtic Pagan ancestors, created by Amara Karuna. We do a somewhat different version from the one shown here and end it with a dramatic 'cone of power' release - recycling energy to the spiritual world so that we can continue to draw down energy from the spirit world on the months ahead, just as our ancestors did at their 'stone circle' gatherings all over the British Isles. |
New Beginnings Circle Dance: "The Past is Over!" [Hear Audio Sample on: Fly like an Eagle]
Celtic Fire Festival Dance: "Fire in the Hearts of Heroes!""
| Self-actualisation version of the Seneca tribe symbolic "Planting Ritual" Building Resourcefulness & Flexibility via moving sequentially in the 5 elemental energy patterns (earth, water, fire, air, ether) The five elements verses alternate with actions calling down the guidance & support of our "Upper World" spiritual helpers ["spirit guides"]. A glimpse of this symbolic 5-elements chant/dance planting ritual
