The Wheel turns, and with it, it is time to turn our selves toward coming out of hibernation and enjoy fellowship. As a service, your friendly neighborhood inkslinger is providing a little fun activity guide for you to consider as you welcome the fiery creativity of Imbolc. New and familiar things to try and do await you.
Most of the readers of this blog, and the former column, know that one never knows what will be in these guides. That is part of the fun. But just know, that if they are in one of these lists, either they are put on by Pagans, are popular with Pagans, are geared toward Pagans, or are of interest to Pagans here in Metro Detroit. So you will not likely be alone. We are everywhere.
