Prepare for Imbolc by gathering candles in the 6 colors (red, pink, blue, yellow, green, white) and Angelica incense. Set them up on your altar or another relaxing area. Begin by lighting the incense and then each candle.
As you light the first 5 candles, state personal affirmations for the upcoming weeks leading into Spring. With the 6th candle, offer thanks to Mother Earth and Goddess Brigid for their blessings.
Engage in a visualizing meditation focused on these affirmations, allowing the candles to burn safely as long as desired.
