In another version, the Cailleach herself drinks from a magic well on the first day of spring and is transformed into Brigit. In either case, it is the return of Brigit that ushers in the promise of spring.<br /><br />The myth of the descent and return of the Goddess is central to the religion and experience of Wicca, so much so that Gardner called it simply “The Myth of the Goddess.” Told and retold in many forms throughout history, the story is an ancient one -- already old when it was recorded in Sumeria. <br /><br />My version of the story is available onlne at <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/eclecticcoven/Mythology.html#imbolc">http://www.freewebs.com/eclecticcoven/Mythology.html#imbolc</a>Eclectic Coven of Red Mountainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02363849609804309935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763359866120205097.post-64008445702485337342009-07-15T11:52:00.000-07:002009-07-15T11:55:30.800-07:00The Tale of the Iron ManBrown Bag Lunch program at Birmingham Public Library to tell the story of our very own Vulcan.<br />Wednesday, July 22, noon<br /><br />The Seasoned Readers is a spin off from the local acting troupe <a href="http://www.seasonedperformers.org/mainpages/index.html">The Seasoned Performers</a>.

Planetarium director George Atchley will place the vernal equinox in its astronomical perspective, inviting an exploration of the common obsession of art and science beneath a dome of stars.<br /><br />The Big Table Poets take their name, literally, from the large table at a Birmingham bookstore where they meet to critique their work and, figuratively, from the wide range of approaches to poetry their work represents. The "Big Table" accommodates free verse and poetry in traditional forms, the lyrical, the meditative, and the narrative, low humor and high seriousness, all drawn from the diverse lives, experiences, interests, and even obsessions of the Big Table Poets themselves.<br /><br />The Vox Equinox event is free of charge and open to the public.Eclectic Coven of Red Mountainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02363849609804309935noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763359866120205097.post-16799517403344912282009-02-09T12:25:00.000-08:002009-02-09T12:27:22.151-08:00Get in Touch with the Universe: Public Viewing of Space Images Feb. 17The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) selected Samford University's Christenberry Planetarium as one of 100 sites in the United States to display two spectacular images Feb. 17 from its Great Space Observatories: the Hubble Space Telescope, The Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.<br /><br />This selection is in response to the United Nations declaring 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy, and is in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Galileo Galilei's first observance of the solar system through a telescope.<br /><br />The Birmingham Astronomical Society will host the free event with live presentations and telescopes for people to look through at 7 p.m. that night.

One dollar in fines will be waived for each item of food donated for up to $10 per library card holder. Expiration dates must be visible on the food containers and the waived fees apply to fines only. The food drive is open to anyone, even if they do not have overdue materials.<br /><br />The public libraries wanted to do something for their communities and also provide an incentive for library users with overdue fines to return to the library. At this time of year, food pantries are getting low and need to be replenished with the holidays just around the corner. Libraries will be collaborating with the United Way Food Bank, Greater Birmingham Ministries, and Magic City Harvest. Individual libraries also can decide to give their items to a local church or charity of their choice.<br /><br />“Food for Fines” is held in conjunction with the annual National Library Card Sign-up Month. The annual card campaign, in its 10th year, reminds parents that “your public library card is your most important school supply!” In September, cardholders can also trade in their old card for a keychain card or receive a replacement for a worn out card free, without paying the usual $3.00 fee.<br /><br />Call your local library for more information or questions or go to <a href="http://www.jclc.org/foodforfines.aspx">http://www.jclc.org/foodforfines.aspx</a>Eclectic Coven of Red Mountainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02363849609804309935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763359866120205097.post-78900865889170040182008-08-25T17:44:00.000-07:002008-08-25T17:47:22.979-07:00Blood Drive at Birmingham Public Central LibraryGive the gift of life—give blood. <a href="http://www.lifesouth.org/">LifeSouth Blood Bank</a> will be in the <a href="http://www.bplonline.org/locations/central/youth/">Youth Department</a> Story Castle on the second floor of Central Library to take your blood and give you a cookie.
