Candle Garden

This is the candle garden we used as our table centerpiece for Imbolc.  We lit the candles before dinner and had a discussion about the importance of the holiday.  We still referred to it as Groundhog's Day, but the intent in our heart was all IMBOLC.

Here are some of the things we discussed:

• being thankful that the sun is going to come out very soon
• the candles as a representation of the sun
• the kind of plants we would like to place in our garden 
• what we need to do to prepare the soil
• things we want to do in the spring.

We allowed the candles to burn out on their own and a made a springtime wish.

Very simple, but effective.
