IMBOLC

And if you leave your fire banked up
And your kitchen clean and your table scrubbed
And your plates and cups all neat on your dresser
Then maybe Holy Bridget will come
All unseen on this night of nights
And trail her beggarly rags to your hearth
And stretch her hands to your fire for its blessing
And stretch out her hands and bless your house.

Yeppers, with all that cleaning required, I guess she can just pass by THIS place as well (aside from the fact we don't have a fireplace and the landlord gets REAL pissy when we try to build one in the middle of the living room).

Landlords- such unspiritual people! :)

Ain't that the truth. Maybe I could claim I did it as a religious act and then they wouldn't DARE appear to be less than accepting of that, Sweden being what it is.

It was a belfire- and the roof was a sacrifice of sweet and pleasing savour to the gods.

Sounds good to me.
