This work is inspired by the Celtic festival of Imbolc, celebrated in early February, marking the point of transition between winter and spring equinoxes. Imbolc represents the turning of the wheel, new beginnings and growth, as light slowly returns, though still very cold. Barn owls direct Imbolc energies.
