The weaving of the Celtic traditions and saints into the all is most enlightening. Is Saint Brigid’s day not considered to be the beginning of spring in Ireland, in a local way? The importance of culture and language is a good guide. Thank you for your writing.
Thank you for your reading! I do appreciate it very much. Yes, Celtic seasons didn't start with the solstices and equinoxes, but rather centered them. So you have Imbolc (Feb. 1), Beltane (May 1), Lughnasa (Aug. 1), and Samhain (Nov. 1) as the four seasonal festivals.

These continue to get cooler. Thanks!
