Blessed be the Earth and all who dwell upon her. Blessed be the new season, may it be filled with peace. May we be filled to overflowing with wisdom and love.
Blessed be .
You’ll love this, Colette. Your Celtic Lunar New Year is the same as our Hawaiian Makahiki (New Year) but for us it’s when Makalii (the Pleiades) is above the horizon. Much Aloha to you 🤗
Thank you Colette for such a peaceful and an informative video about Imbolc. Just delightful and such a perfect conclusion to my day.
Cheers,

That was a lovely video. I have insomnia, and I drank a cup if chamomile tea and listening to your video really relaxed me and hopefully I will sleep tonight! Your candle holders for the two white candles are beautiful. And the pink candle dishes on the mantle are as well. Your whole hearth area is delightful. Glad to know how to pronounce Imbolc too. Blessings and goodnight to you and Jack.
Colette O'Neill : you are one of the richest women, I know of. Thank you and Blessings 🙏✨☘️
What a lovely evening chat , I felt I was sitting on the sofa with you ..... thank you . Blessings to you and Jack xxxx
Ah Bridgid 🔥 and saint Bridget I love them both they keep the sacred fires burning and bless the hearth and the home 🏡🙏🏽💚
Brighid bless you so much this Imbolc.
Beautiful! Even though we are in the throws of winter here during Imbolc, I still love it and feel an indescribable magical energy. Much love...💖
I love all this - hearing you talk about the Celtic calendar and accompanying traditions and rituals. It’s so interesting, and I learn much from your chats. Thankyou for sharing the beauty and peace of your home and the evening.
Although I am a Christian Colette I can relate to some of what you are saying, especially your affinity with Mother Earth which I have often felt. I have learnt a lot, thank you. (love the music)
This was lovely...I so enjoy our fireside chats, Blessings
I love your Candlelight Chats and learning about the Ancient Ways. Blessings to you Colette...Thank you.
So peaceful! A wonderful way to end my day. Thank you. There is a song by Anne Hill...and I think I have shared it with you before: "Holy Water, Sacred Flame. Brigid we invoke your name. Bless our hands, our heads, our hearts. Source of Healing, Song, and Art." This is the song I sing most often in my private rituals.
I'm taking myself to Seattle for an Imbolc birthday gift! I figured I deserve it. LOL! Haven't done many videos lately so I might do a couple travel videos while I'm up there. The light is returning!
Thank you for sharing dear. I appreciate your calm, pure and authentic way of sharing the information and experiences on your channel. I feel a deep connection. With love, Olga
Lovely video Colette. I have so much going on in my head about what you said but can't really articulate it. The part where you talked about looking deep in our hearts and the energies gathering round us has really sparked something. Much love to you xxx
Beautiful video Colette. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I’m still in the planning stages of what I’ll prepare for our Imbolc dinner. One thing I always have is rice pudding! Your little sheep reminds me I need to get mine out. 💜
Thank you, I enjoyed your teaching/blessings. Pertinent to the strange times we are in currently.
It's good to feel optimistic despite everything, and look to nature for inspiration and hope.
Well said!
Many Blessings & Hello Colette & Jack! The hearth and candles in your lovely cottage warms my heart. It reminds me of a cottage home I lived in off and on with my Father and later with my young daughter there, too. There were magical gardens there, too. Anyways... Without being aware of the use of white candles during IMBOLC, I happened to purchase a "heathy" white pillar candle this evening and also lit it, along with burning a bit of sage from its flame. I have a Celtic calendar originally from 2 local (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA) women artists and musicians (Celtic music, of course) some 20+ years ago. I have had it in a prime spot on a wall in my home for some time. It is created to be able to use year after year with no days of the week, all based around the special days of festivals, Equinoxes & Solstices. The Prayer for IMBOLC states such...May I feel and recognize the life force, "the heart" rising within me, breathing new life into my whole being. The Meditation Seed states..."What stirrings of new life are being revealed to me?" I enjoy learning such wonderous treasures of wisdom and history from you! Thank you again dearest wise Irish Womyn! Love, from your friends in Kentucky, USA, Human Tracy & Katrina Cat 🙋🏻💗🌎☮😀😍🙅🏻
I so enjoy the stories of the ancient traditions. The music in the background is soothing. As usual thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations with us. Masses of love energy heading to you and Jack!!
Thank you for allowing me to share your lovely evening. I am at peace. ❤️
Good earliest morning dear Colette and thanks for the shout: I could hear it from Drumshanbo while working at a wee project at 2:30 am, and would you believe it: there were birds singing, and not just the nocturnal ones! Incredible non-Winter we're having here, with days of pure bliss and now this kind of elegantly paced excitement. Funny: before the shout I was thinking how kind was of you to mention Gian Castello's music and I was about to comment that in this case I don't have any merit in the making of the cd, but only in collaborating during the live show, in divulging the work in English and in the making and printing of the booklets and cd covers with the English texts and... you have the Italian version! I have to remedy and prepare the booklet for you so that it'll be clear what the work talks about: Taliesin was a Welsh bard of the 6th century and you will love the story! Anyway, since you are so generous to allow it, here is the website where people can listen to most of the whole production and contact the author (especially because... Taliesin isn't there yet, but will be there soon): giancastello.bandcamp.com/ All the best. Kytia
Thankyou for the link, I'm sitting here before the sun comes up listening to these beautiful little songs. Arizona, USA
Thank you for the kind feedback, very important for one's energy and the same good energy be with you! @@sandygeasa9995
Lovely and relaxing chat and very informative thank you Blessings to you Colette and Jack xx
Wonderful relaxing and informative video Colette, thank you so much. Me and Hubby have really enjoyed it. We absolutely love the music, and will definitely be looking to purchase that CD! Blessings to you and Jack xx
Listening to your beautiful speaking voice takes me back to my younger years when I worked with an exceptional Irish lady in the highlands of New Guinea before independence. Ooh the wonderfully interesting stories she retold of her beloved Ireland!
Thank you for taking me back to those (really never forgotten) times.🙏💕🇦🇺🇵🇬
Wonderful!
On my Father's deathbed, back in 1988 when he was just 53, he said to me "you of all people know I can't go without the light".... Colette, you are so right. We are all headed to the Light. Happy Imbolc. Love Karen xx
Bright Blessings from Carmarthen ,,Wales xxx
The music is ethereal, enchanting...I feel so very honored that you share your deep well of Wisdom with us. Ah...dearJack! My eyes instantly stung with tears...at the sight of his sweet, sweet, face. I like to think that his Spirit walks Bealtaine Cottage with you - still. Blessings dear Colette.
Beautiful, heartfelt and inspiring as ever! Love the music. With gratitude Niki xxx
Loved this video.. I could listen to you all day. My grandmother has saints in glass domes, plus a glow in the dark Madonna that looked like it floated in mid air. Used to frighten the living daylights out of me.. 🤣 I'm still here to tell the tale.. all 4ft 10 of me and shrinking as I write this..... 💕
Love that!
Thank you Colette. I was born on the first of February. My grandparents called me the child of the hearth. It is supposed to be a night of candles or fire in general. (from what I understand) C from the little haunted cottage in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀👻👻👻
Blessings for Imbolc 2024! ❤️
Lovely! I am learning so much from you...thank you!❤️
It's Imbolc in Australia next weekend so this was a lovely little introduction to the tradition to help me get into the spirit of things.
It's Imbolc here today.
1st August 2022.
I'm in rural Victoria.
Happy celebrations
Speaking of Spirit...You have a beautiful one Colette. Thank you so much for sharing your evening, your knowledge, your home and your thoughts. My Spirit welcomes yours....always.
All ancient civilizations worshipped goddess Fire. In olden times in India, a word given in front of fire burning in the form of lamp or lantern was sacrosanct and couldn't be broken
Colette, my mother's mother was Irish & stood 4'9" lol
My mom was 4'11" , I made it to 5' so my daughters are 5'2" & 5'4". Too funny. My sons are 5'9" & 6'3". Just wanted to share that.
Thank you for your lovely and gentle words of comfort and wisdom.
Thank you and Blessings for you and yours Always ❣
Blessings of sacred Imbolc to you XXX
First milk is colostrum, which gives immunity, fats and protection, it is an incredible biological, and spiritual connection between mother and child specific to only them. To produce a long heathy life in the offspring.

Bright blessings of the season thank you for this quiet moment.
Blessed Imbolc Colette and Jack! 🐑🕯🌱 Today was lovely warm and sunny here in Wichita KS. I did some Imbolc stuff like buying seeds and made a little altar with bay leaves, salt and white tealights. And watched some of your Imbolc videos. Fun stuff! Hope your day was all you wished for. ❤
Wonderful!
Although this is a posting from the past I have found it quite relevant for this point in time as well. Raining here in Oregon today as the fields turn green...Spring’s promise! XO
Blessings to you X
Thank you, From Comhaltas Melbourne Australia
I learn a lot from you, I enjoy your videos and your wisdom. Have a nice evening. Blessings
Blessings to you both . xx thank you.
I just want to say, that syncronicity has found it's way back into the vocabulary of my spirit as of late. I have been with you a long time and you in my heart as well as long. I found myself for the past few days reawakening my journey with you and your lovely Bealtaine cottage and divined my way through to a few videos a small but lovely clutch. They happened to be the ones in April of last year, where you go on to describe a time in year ones winter and the well spring digging. Blessed the story filled my soul with renewed hope and excitement for the journey to come. And here I am looking up but of all things Imbolc and alas I hear your voice again after a video of and elder explaining the old way. Which brings me to the point of it all. I feel that well spring calling to you. And now my soul as you have been filled with it's pure clean beautiful waters. I am being called to heal the earth here where I am. I know my duty now is to be a Steward of the land here in the place I've been born. I am eternally grateful for you. My spirit is with you and I am so happy to have you as an elder to guide and tend to my secret favorite places. Blessed are you and the fae akin.
I love your vocie and the atmosphere very much❤Thank you for the nice video!😊
Thank you for this lovely explanation, Colette. Have a joyful day!

Beautiful🌹 Happy Imbolc🌸🌸🌸
Lovely Colette, I enjoyed learning about Imbolc, your wise words and the soothing music. I feel so relaxed now! Although I am Cornish, my father-in-law came from Omagh and always said Gormley was an Irish surname. Blessings to you. 😊❤️
I know of the Gormley family in Omagh!
@@bealtainecottage Really,it’s a small world Colette! 😊❤️
Thank you for posting this, you’re very sweet and informative. I don’t have parental figures that inform me of my culture and ancestors. It was nice to hear a women speak of these things and learn from this video ❤
You are so welcome!
I love your Imbolc display Collette. I am drawn to it. Jack was a lovely doggie.
I adore your channel 🇦🇺❤️
So interesting. Thank you 😊
Goddess bless Colette x

I spotted a little ring of daisies yesterday . The signs are here ♥️
People know so little of history, life, language.....real eyes realise real lies....
Thank you for this, thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this festival x
I enjoyed your video.
Glad you enjoyed it
💚
Blessed imbolc ♥️
Thank you for saying this. I agree with you 100^, this is the first milk for the baby animals. ❤️
'soul' has never felt true to me ... 'Spirit' is far more connected to Herself.
Lovely💜
💚💚💚✨

Imbolc Is reminiscent of the ancient Paleolithic bear cults that were celebrated at this time of the year
