Celebrated on February 1 in the northern hemisphere and August 1 in the southern hemisphere. Often called Candlemas or
Brigid’s Day, Imbolc marks a time when
life starts to reappear after the slumber and darkness of winter. Use this time to
celebrate fertility, love, and creativity. -Ambrosia from The Spell Book for New Witches

The Spell Book for New Witches: Essential Spells to Change Your Life
A New Dictionary of Fairies
By Ambrosia Hawthorn Magic is present within us all―when accessed, it allows us to connect to the natural world, invite in opportunities, and create the change we need in our lives. The Spell Book for New Witches shows you how to tap into your inner power and make spellcasting practical for your day-today. This spell book starts with an introduction to spell work, including performing spells, prepping your space, and channeling energy to access your power. Easy-to-follow spells will help you find lasting love, protect your family and friends, advance your career, and live the life you deserve. Available February 4th on Amazon.
By Morgan Daimler Fairies are a challenging subject, intertwining culture, folklore, and anecdotal accounts across centuries and millennia. Focusing primarily on the Celtic speaking cultures, with some material from adjacent cultures including Anglo-Saxon and Norse, A New Dictionary of Fairies has indepth entries on a variety of fairies as well as subjects related to them, such as why we picture elves with pointed ears or where the idea of fairies being invisible comes from. It also tackles more complicated topics like the nature and physicality of the fairy people. Anyone with an interest in feiries will find this book a solid resource to draw from. Available at John Hunt Publishing.
The Hidden Goddess by Laurie Martin-Gardner
The Hidden Goddess delves into the Bible to uncover the goddesses that have been buried within it. As well as discussing familiar figures such as Eve and Mary, the book also features Asherah, Sophia, Lilith, and others, exploring their histories, their roles in early Judaic Christian belief and their subsequent suppression. Available at John Hunt Publishing. 7

Primrose
Other names: Butter Rose, Cowslip, Heaven’s key, Oxslip. Plant family: Primulaceae. There are over 400 species in the Primula genus of
the Primulaceae family, each a little different and unique. They come in all shapes, colours and forms. From the common and
original English cowslip (Primula veris), the oxslip (Primula
elatior) and the standard Primula vulgaris that come in yellow and golden hues. They are excellent nervines, and when brewed into a tea, provide stress-releasing benefits.
Primula vulgaris
Magickal properties: Protection, fae magick, and love.
Magickal workings: The wildflower growing in the garden protects from all adversities, and they also attract fairies. Carrying primrose attracts romance and love into your life. Scent profile: Sweet, dreamy. Actions: Antispasmodic, vermifuge, emetic, astringent. (Grieve)
Safety: Don't use internally if you're pregnant. Seek a professional before taking this plant internally. Correspondences: Venus, Earth.
The common primrose “is the most widely known of our English wild flowers,” writes Dr. Fernie (1914), “and appears in the Spring as its earliest herald,” while we in America are reduced to watching it grow in pots in the early spring. The name primula comes from the Latin primus, meaning first. It is native to low ground in northern Europe, where it has a reputation as a medicine. It is little used in North America. Primula contains flavonoids in the flowers, saponins in the rhizomes, and is astringent throughout. -Matthew Wood Author of The Earthwise Herbal
