Show Low Lake is kind of a primitive site with lots of volcanic rock, wear sturdy shoes and watch where you walk. Again with the primitive site theme, there are no bathrooms and no electricity. Maybe there is in the actual camp ground, but that is closed for the season, we are just in the "park" area.

.

Feel free to bring a chair if you are not able to stand for a long period of time, however I don't see us being at the site for longer than an hour to hour and a half.

.

We will meet up in the parking lot and then proceed to the site. Ritual starts at promptly at 3:30pm, we run on Heathen time, not Pagan Standard time (please try to be on time). This will be a Wiccan style ritual as the majority of the group seems comfortable with that. (As opposed to a Heathen Blot or Druid ritual.)

.

Typically there would be a potluck to follow the ritual, but it may be to cold for that. Those of us who would like to, we will adjourn to Denny's for the post ritual shared meal. Please bring money if you intend to eat or drink at Denny's.

What is Imbolg? Imbolc or Imbolg, also called Brigid's Day, is a Gaelic traditional festival marking the beginning of spring. It was traditionally held on 1 February. It lands about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain.
