Oh I wish I had read this earlier! Perhaps next year I will participate…you’ve inspired me. Wonderful article! I really like how you’ve woven indulging and loving yourself into Lent.

This is such a wonderful concept! Though not raised Catholic myself (I was UCC), my neighboorhood in CT was VERY Catholic, so lots of kids came to school with the ashes over the third eye. Maybe the prevailing practice affected me, as I have always been prone to lots of self-reflection at this time of year, and had already planned to make some changes to my routine this year. Imbolc is a perfect time to start, as you’re pledging for the year already – kind of a way to try out your pledge and reshape your thinking. Thank you so much for posting this – I’m sharing it with everyone I know!

What a great article, Waverly – I really like the idea of “lent” between Imbolc/Candlemas and the Spring Equinox. I just shared this on my FB account, too.

It’s great to hear someone talk about the value of Lent in a Pagan context. I’ve written about this in the past. In addition, your post reminded me that it’s that time of year so now I’m planning my own lent.

Interesting idea. I tend to try to give up bad habits around Samhain.
I like the idea of making a positive change in the spring.
