Well, Chris's favorite ale is Hibernation Ale. That doesn't seem quite appropriate for the beginning of Spring, but something like it would be nice: hoppy, with a nice alcohol content and a full body, not too fuzzy and definitely grainy.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Taking it Deeper:<br>
<br>
As we all know, this is a cultural religion and there are practices and traditions surrounding all of our holidays which can increase your personal experience of the spiritual in your everyday life. If you are interested in doing so, here are some of those traditions:<br>
<br>
-- It is traditional to clean your house very thoroughly before all of the major holidays. This is perhaps esepcially so for the two major spring holidays: Imbolg and Bealtaine.<br>
-- Dress in spring colors for the Imbolg celebration.<br>
-- This is a holiday that is special to animals; it is very traditional to feed your livestock and pets special food on Imbolg, or consider bringing a container to take home a bit of the feast for them.<br>
-- If you have a household fire or the candle you lit at Samhain, re-light that in your home and bring it with you to the celebration. This is the most home based of the holidays and this is a way of bringing that spirit with you.<br>
-- If you have a Crois Bride (Brigit's Cross) from last year's celebration, bring that with you to give as an offering.<br>
-- Bring a personal offering to Bride, if you wish.<br>
<br>
<br>
Feel free to ask any questions you may have!<br>
