In that case, Imbolc and Lammas are the midpoints of the season. It also makes sense to me to call Imbolb midwinter because all around me its like we are inbetween true winter and true spring. Its not quite like either one yet because I see and feel signs of both.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693855868835555292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642391879245273633.post-37371453811949859072011-02-02T10:55:38.813-08:002011-02-02T10:55:38.813-08:00I meant to mention, I do love the thoughts about M...I meant to mention, I do love the thoughts about Mary and pregnancy and milk coming in and all that.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642391879245273633.post-30700428466451355342011-02-02T10:04:41.100-08:002011-02-02T10:04:41.100-08:00I love these thoughts, especially of the significa...I love these thoughts, especially of the significance of breastfeeding at this time. When I consider that I am on my last baby, each moment that I spend nursing him has become more precious. Thank you for a new way to appreciate these moments. I'm a little late to the pagan party, so we don't have anything really set up for today, but I think we'll at least have a candlelit dinner and talk about these things a bit.cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900004354337917385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642391879245273633.post-35715716412984519842011-02-02T09:34:45.391-08:002011-02-02T09:34:45.391-08:00I always thought midwinter was the solstice (and m...I always thought midwinter was the solstice (and midsummer likewise at summer solstice). I admit this was mostly just based on my own deductions, but I'm wondering where you got that midwinter would be at Imbolc?
