Firelight, Imbolc, and Brigid’s Bright Justice: A Full Moon Gathering at Maven’s Moon 🫖🔥🌕

This Saturday, January 31st, the doors of Maven’s Moon open and the night turns sacred. Not “ordinary Saturday night” sacred—more like lanterns-in-the-woods sacred. More like the Moon watching closely. More like your soul remembering something it almost forgot.

This is our Full Moon Gathering, and with it comes our monthly rite of alchemy: the Fire Ceremony of Manifesting and Releasing—a living spell where what no longer serves you is given to flame, and what you are ready to become is called in with intention.

But this month, the Full Moon isn’t coming alone. It’s arriving with Imbolc light in its hands… and Brigid in its footsteps.

Imbolc: When the World Begins to Glow Again

Imbolc lives in the in-between. Winter still has teeth, but the darkness is no

longer winning. This is the season of first fires and returning courage. The time when the Earth whispers:

“Don’t give up. The light is coming back.”

And the keeper of that returning light is Brigid—goddess of flame and healing, poetry and craft, home and holy purpose.

Brigid isn’t just a gentle candle on your altar.

Brigid is the forge.

She is the fire that warms you… and the fire that strengthens you.

Brigid as a Social Justice Deity: The Flame That Refuses to Look Away

This gathering comes on the heels of recently celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, and that matters—because Brigid’s light is not passive.

Her flame is conscience.

Her flame is protection.

Her flame is the sacred refusal to accept a world where dignity is optional.

Dr. King gave us a truth that still moves like a spell through time:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

That isn’t a pretty quote to hang on a wall. It’s a law of spiritual physics.

Brigid’s justice is born from the same force: love with backbone.

To honor Brigid as a social justice deity is to step into:

• courageous love (not performative—real, practiced, lived)

• truth-telling (even when it shakes your voice)

• community care (the hearth expanded to include everyone)

• repair (learning, listening, returning, doing better)

• dignity (as a standard, not a reward)

This is what it means to be light: not just glowing… but guiding.

Full Moon Fire Ceremony: The Spell of Release + the Spell of Becoming

The Full Moon is a silver mirror. It shines on what we’ve been carrying—the grief, the fear, the exhaustion, the anger, the stories we learned in hard seasons.

And then it asks:

What are you ready to release so your life can breathe again? What are you ready to manifest that actually heals you—and helps heal the world?

In our Manifesting & Releasing Fire Ceremony, we write it down. We name it. We offer it. We let flame do what flame does best:

transform.

This month, let your intention be bigger than a wish.

Let it be a vow.

Mad Hatter Energy 🫖🎩: Sacred Weirdness and Liberation

And yes—we’re inviting a little Mad Hatter magic into the night.

Because sometimes the world feels like Wonderland: rules that make no sense, authority that’s theatrical and cruel, and people expected to be “normal” inside systems that aren’t normal at all.

The Mad Hatter isn’t a traditional symbol of justice—but he carries something we need:

the holy refusal to obey absurdity… and the courage to make a table where the outsiders belong.

Mad Hatter energy is:

• joy that won’t be crushed

• truth told sideways

• permission to be unpalatable, unedited, and still worthy

• a reminder that “different” is often just “awake”

So bring your weird. Bring your bright. Bring your untamed laughter.

Brigid’s flame loves authenticity.

Bring an Intention (Choose One Spell-Line)

If you want words ready when you arrive, pick one:

Release: “I release fear, silence, and the need to be acceptable at the cost of truth.” Manifest: “I manifest courageous love—love that protects, repairs, and brings light.”

Release: “I release the rules that were never meant to protect me—only to control me.” Manifest: “I manifest a life rooted in dignity, compassion, and action.”

Release: “I release numbness and the habit of looking away.” Manifest: “I manifest the bravery to show up—with heart, with honesty, with purpose.”

Or the simplest vow of the night:

“Brigid, make me useful to the light.”

Closing Blessing

This Saturday, we gather not to escape the world—but to become stronger inside it. We will burn what dims us. We will call in what steadies us. We will welcome the returning light of Imbolc. We will honor Brigid—the bright forge of healing and justice. And we will keep a little Mad Hatter magic in our pocket…

because sometimes the most revolutionary thing you can do is stay soft enough to love, brave enough to act, and strange enough to remain free.

We’ll see you under the Full Moon. 🌕🔥🕯️🫖🎩
