The Heathen and Germanic rite Charming of the Plough, and Gaelic festival Imbolc are celebrated in the month of February. It's a time to plant seeds for the warmer seasons to come. You can plant bulbs and seeds in time for Spring when the vegetables grow and the soil begins to flower. You can also be certain that household spirits can help. It's said that a winter goddess transforms into a giant bird and then carries sticks in her beak, according to some legends. People bless some useful domestic objects mainly for kitchen and garden, brooms and cutlery in honour of house wights. It's also a time when people offer cakes to Mother Earth. They can be made with honey or cereals.
