Full Worm Moon (Imbolc)

The moon begins to form as the moon spinners wash their wool in the sea, winding it again into a white ball in the sky and re-creating the phases and cycles that guide our seasons, and our stories...

Following the Celtic Wheel of the Year (the quarterly seasons of Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain) we look forward to moon myths, lunar legends and cross-cultural stories, revealing themes of creation, fertility, magic, mystery, death and rebirth.

For our March session we welcome you under the Full Worm Moon and observe the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day with a Celtic lineup of performers including guest storytellers Eileen Budd and Marion Kenny, with your host this month, Claire McNicol.
