"February might seem like a quiet month caught between the depths of winter and the promise of spring. But for us witches, it is a time brimming with magickal potential."

For many, February appears to be a dormant period, a mere bridge between winter's chill and spring's gentle awakening. Yet, in the realm of witchcraft, it pulses with untold energy and transformative potential. February is a month rich in symbolism, preparation, and possibility, urging us to align with nature's subtle shifts and embrace our own growth. Let's delve into the magick that February unfolds for us.

Imbolc: The Awakening of Earth

February starts with Imbolc on the 1st and 2nd, an ancient Celtic festival that marks the halfway point between Yule and the spring equinox. Honouring the return of the sun and the awakening of the earth, Imbolc, also known as Imulk, invites us to reflect and set intentions. Dedicated to Brigid, the goddess of fire, poetry, healing, and fertility, Imbolc fills us with the promise of renewal and preps us for the growth ahead.

The Power of the Moon Phases

The lunar phases in February are equally empowering. On the 12th, the Full Moon in Leo at 3.30pm (UK time) invigorates us with fiery, creative energy, making it an ideal time for self-expression, confidence, and bold manifestations. Later, on the 28th, the New Moon in Pisces at 8.30pm (UK time) beckons introspection and spiritual growth, perfect for those who wish to delve into their inner world and set intentions for soulful transformation.

Celebrating Lupercalia

From the 13th to the 15th, February also hosts Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival of fertility and purification. Described as raw and unapologetically pagan, this celebration, with its wild rituals and vitality, stands in stark contrast to the more romanticised Valentine's Day we know today.

Practical Magick and Rituals

Love spells and renewal magick thrive in February's embrace. Try a self-love spell jar with herbs like lavender, rose, or chamomile, or engaging in a fire ritual to release what no longer serves you. The potent energy of the Leo Full Moon is perfect for creativity and confidence spells, whilst the introspective Pisces New Moon invites journaling, dream magick, and divination.

February also brings fertility and growth magick, inspired by Imbolc and Lupercalia. Whether it's nurturing a new project or preparing for personal goals, this month beautifully bridges winter's stillness with the awakening energy of spring.
