I spent a lot of time on Feb 1 and 2 making candles (I made them from tallow we rendered ourselves from a half a cow we bought last fall). We didn't use all of them for our Imbolc Feast, but we did use five.
These are our element candles--air, earth, water, fire, and (in the center) spirit. (Underneath you can also see our Sabbat table runner.)
We had cream of
cauliflower soup (for the milk and butter, and also it seemed like an appropriate seasonal vegetable), and almond-poppy seed muffins (for the seeds).
When I first told my 4-year old that we were going to turn off all the lights for dinner he got very concerned and said "but mommy, we can't do that, we have to see our food." I told him we would light so many candles that we would be able to see and he said oh, well then that would be ok. The next night, he asked if we could turn off the lights and light "so many handles" again. ☺
