Imbolc Activity: Planting Goals
Source unknown

This is a great thing to do with children.


Discuss the meaning of the word "goal" and why it's
important to have goals with kids. Have your kids
decide on a goal to work on magickally at Imbolc.
Break it down into steps for the children to work on
mundanely, as well as magickally.

Obtain small terra-cotta planters and help your kids
decorate them with paint, cutouts, or glitter to
represent their goal. Get some seeds to plant.

Before your Imbolc ritual, put a small stone over the
hole in the pot (to allow for drainage without the
dirt falling through the hole) and fill the pot with
dirt.

During ritual, plant the seeds while "planting" your
goals. Explain to your kids that goals need nurturing
just as plants do, and that as they water and feed and
give sunlight to their plant, they will so nurture and
work for their goals. And as their plant grows, so
will the manifestation of their goals.
