February's Poem
In Celtic legend, this is the time when Brighid, or Bride, walks the land at the festival of Imbolc. She appears in her moment of transformation from the crone and wise woman of winter, to become the maiden of spring. In the Western Isles of Scotland she is known by many names, such as 'Brighid of the Harp', 'Foster Mother of Christ', 'Bride' and 'Seek Beyond'.
Bride brings the promise of new life and walks the land with her lantern of love, shining the light of hope into our hearts. Snowdrops spring up in her footprints as she passes. In parts of Scotland, the gentle snowdrops are known as 'Bride's Footprints', drifting like snow across the land, forging a tender path of light and hope for us to follow.
