Herb of the Month

By Silver Spiritwolf

 

One of the traditional flowers to celebrate the Sabbat of Imbolc is the  snowdrop.


The snowdrop is a plant that so many of us know and love.  It is one of the first to flower in the early days of the new year, gracing our winter gardens.  While one snowdrop might look much like another to the untrained eye, beyond the common snowdrop there are endless varieties to uncover.

.  This  flower's native home is the mountains of central and southern Europe - its delicate display of hardy beauty ensured its appeal and transport to our shores several hundred years ago.In the language of flowers the snowdrop meant hope

 


But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
--Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
