February is a sacred month for purification, remembrance, and the return of light. Named after the Roman festival of Februa, it encourages us to soften, listen inward, and release what no longer serves our hearts.
Imbolc, celebrated on February 1, ushers in the first hints of spring, honoring the goddess Brigid, who symbolizes inspiration and new beginnings. You can visit the Spiritual Uplifts Metaphysical Store to create your own Imbolc candle, infused with intention and representing renewal and self-love.
Candlemas follows, representing clarity and the balance of giving and receiving. Nirvana Day on February 15 invites reflection on impermanence and compassion, reminding us to embrace love in each moment.
February also celebrates Maha Shivratri, Vasant Panchami, Setsubun, and the Lantern Festival, all highlighting purification as an act of love. Even Valentine’s Day encourages us to explore various expressions of love, including the essential love we give to ourselves.
As winter fades, February teaches us that renewal begins within our hearts, preparing us for the awakening of spring and the light ahead.

Full Moon Ritual for Celebrating Imbolc
Imbolc is a Celtic festival that marks the beginning of spring, celebrating renewal and the return of light. It is observed on February 1st or 2nd.
To honor the Goddess Brigid, you will need the following items:
- Two white or yellow candles
- Jasmine or baby's breath flowers to make a cross
- Triple goddess or Brigid oil, preferably something sweet-smelling
- A carnelian stone for healing and a moonstone for your wishes
- Herbs: rosemary, lavender, chamomile, and cedar sage
burning bowl
Set up an altar with two white or yellow candles. Add jasmine or baby's breath flowers and create a cross using twigs or fresh spring flowers. You may also leave a cup of honey or milk as an offering. Additionally, consider placing poems or handmade artwork on the altar.
Light the candles and position the crystals on the right side of the altar. Place your burning bowl in the center of the altar. Take a moment to think about Brigid coming to you to help with renewal and bringing back the light so you can find your way. Put the oil on your wrist and say the following
"Goddess Brigid, draw near to me,
Flame of hearth and poetry.
Light my heart, my mind, my way,
Warm my soul till break of day.
By your fire, I stand made whole,
Softly bright, restore my soul.
Brigid kind, with shining art,
Leave your light within my heart."
If you made a cross last year, you can burn it and bury the ashes in the ground. You may also burn herbs such as rosemary, lavender, chamomile, or cedar sage in a safe bowl or fireplace. After burning the herbs and ensuring the fire is out, carefully examine the ashes for any footprints, wands, or signs left by the Goddess Brigid.

Crystal– Moonstone Symbolism: Moonstone is associated with feminine and maternal energy, nurturing intuition, compassion, and emotional balance. Long linked to the moon and lunar cycles, it has been viewed across cultures as a stone of fertility, inner wisdom, and hormonal harmony.
Often called the stone of new beginnings, moonstone is believed to support personal growth, emotional stability, and transformation. Traditionally worn for protection during travel—especially at night or over water—it’s also valued for enhancing intuition, meditation, and trust in one’s inner voice.
Book: The Crystal Bible 3 is the third volume in Judy Hall’s Crystal Bible series. It expands the collection with 250+ additional crystals, focusing on newer, rare, or recently discovered stones.

Comfrey leaf has a long history in traditional herbal medicine, especially for external use. It’s rich in allantoin, which supports cell regeneration, making it popular for soothing bruises, sprains, minor wounds, and joint or muscle discomfort. Traditionally it’s been used in poultices, creams, and salves to support skin healing. ⚠️ Important safety note:: Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can be harmful to the liver if taken internally. Because of this, internal use is not recommended, and even topical use should be short-term and on unbroken skin only.

Begin by setting intention.
Burn a Rose incense to invite love into the space.
Place a crystal generator of Clear Quartz in the center of your cloth or wooden grid.
Next, you will alternate placing these three stones one after the other around your generator
For this grid you will need two of each of the following crystals:
Pink Amethyst helps with self-love and moving on by opening the heart chakra, promoting emotional healing, and fostering a positive self-image. It aids in releasing negative emotional patterns, reducing stress during transitions, and encouraging self-forgiveness and inner peace, making it a powerful stone for healing from emotional heartache.
Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love. It also helps you move on from old emotional wounds and grief. As you place this stone, allow old wounds to fade away as you move forward
Carliean is a stone of action and helps increase confidence. As you begin this new journey into love, allow Fire Agate to help you keep motivated and confident.
Four of the following stones:
Clear Quartz Points: Place Clear Quartz points around your completed grid, pointing them up, down, left, and right. This will help the energy from the grid amplify in all directions.
Let this new energy settle around you, take a moment to appreciate it. Speak aloud your intentions for this new part of your life to activate your grid. We recommend getting new crystals for each new grid you do, to bring in the fresh energy needed for the grid to work at its full potential
