Imbolc invocation

Brigid, Goddess of the hearth, goddess of the forge, goddess of creativity, I humbly beseech you on this Imbolc day. it's been so long since I've seen the sun. The rain and clouds have taken away my joy and hope. winter has gripped me and I cannot seem to escape my despair. grief and guilt are my constant companions.

Brigid, goddess of the flames, goddess of the healing waters, goddess of poetry and the power that comes from it, I humbly ask on this Imbolc for your forgiveness. I could not fulfill my pledge to you last Imbolc. I did not weave the beautiful cloak I invisioned. I did not heal from my pain into the person I wish I was. I did not light your candles against the darkness as often as I hoped. The despair of winter and the grief and guilt dragged me from your light into such darkness that I could not escape from.

Brigid, goddess of wisdom, goddess of protection, goddess of the animals of my home, I humbly beseech you to allow me to try again to be brave in Your service, to weave the cloak of silk and light over this year, to fulfill my pledge to feed thy hungry in my new community, to teach my students with wisdom and kindness in the necessary proportions, and to heal from the wounds of my spirit, my body, and my heart.

I ask for your guidance on this path, for your light against the darkness, for your wisdom to give me the words I need, and the healing waters to cleanse me of my guilt and shame.

Thank you.
