Tune in at 12 AM, February 3rd, and hear the Gypsy Scholar present the Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack for the Celtic festival of “Imbolc, Brigid’s Day.” This “cross-quarter” festival honors Brigid, Celtic the goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft. It’s all about new beginnings, renewal and “quickening.” As stated in the musical essay, “The popular idea in Celtic countries of “the quickening of the year” is when the first stirrings of the tiny seedlings and rootlings are felt by Mother Earth, a time of renewal that looks forward to Spring.

Be sure to check out the fantabulous “Imbolc” webpage that is dedicated to this musical essay located on the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com.
