Work Blessing

You need:

• Tendrils of Ivy leaves
• Some ribbons of your favorite colors
• A symbol of your work
• A token offering
• Milk and Honey. 

This spell originates from Ireland and is traditionally performed in February at Imbolc, one of the eight festivals of the Celtic calendar. Birgit, the goddess of creativity, is transformed from her winter appearance of the withered hag into a radiant spring bride, symbolizing new life. Originally, this spell would have been performed near to the hearth, the center of the home, and would have included the whole family, with the women and children fashioning the garland of ivy and the men providing the token offering. If you have no hearth, you can use red candles placed in a small circle. 

Method

Gather the ivy and carefully fashion it into garland, taking the shape of a St. Briget's knot. Lay the garland by the hearth or candles, in the circle of light. With love and care, decorate the whole garland with the ribbons, which should be in all your favorite colors. Place the symbol of your work, for example a business card, in the center of the knot, then place a token offering next to it. The token could be a flower or a coin, for example. Mix a spoon of honey into a glass of warm milk, take a drink, and ask for help with your work for the coming year.
