On the morning of Imbolc, go outside with a plate, a yellow tealight candle, and a small cup of milk. Put the plate on the ground or on an outdoor table or altar, and place the candle in the center of the plate. Light the candle and gaze at the flame as you take some moments to think back on the past month or two and reflect on the hardships as well as the blessings. Think of the good things you enjoyed during this time period, and let a feeling of gratitude fill your heart. Pour the milk slowly onto the plate around the candle, creating a little moat of milk. Touch your fingertips to the milk and send into it your feelings of gratitude, and express your specific wishes for the good fortune you want to receive in the coming weeks. Let the candle burn down, then pour the milk on the earth as you say:

I am nature! I am blessed!
