Saturn's Day - Imbolc Crafts

Saturn's Day - the Day of Manifestation and Structure, Assessment and Responsibility - Foundation Day....  Saturdays are traditionally days to work on protection, remove obstacles, bind troublesome or dangerous individuals and to banish negativity.  Saturdays are like a magickal 'let's clean house' day. Any magickal messes left lying around that need to be addressed, or any problems that need to be cleared up, are best dealt with on the day devoted to Saturn.  Burn a black or deep purple candle as you do your 'cleaning up'. 

I surfed around the Net looking at various Imbolc sites.....  there is this one that caught my attention:
http://luckyredrabbit.com/2012/01/26/imbolc-2012/   Something pointed out in this blog entry was the fact that Imbolc date is set exactely six weeks between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox ... interesting. She says that this time of the Year is a time of awakening, of new life (sheep), some of the first blossoms - snowdrops - and of new potential. 

Here are some links to varius Imbolc Crafts:
