Happy Hedgehog Day!

Well, that's how it supposedly started- with a hedgehog, and other hibernating animals perhaps, making a weather prediction. It was also the day to honor the Goddess Brigid who later came to be known as St.Brigit and celebrated at Candlemas. So this day can be whatever you like I guess- a day to honor a goddess of grain, an Irish saint, a groundhog (or a hedgehog), or if you're like me, maybe you prefer all three.

Making a wish and an offering at Brigid's well.

If Candlemas be fair and bright,

Winter has another flight.

If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,

Winter will not come again."
