Today pagans the world over celebrate Imbolc, the midpoint between the Winter solstice and the Spring equinox. In general, it's a time for home, hearth and feeling the first stirrings of the coming Spring.
Some, like Kristin the Good Witch of the Pacific Northwest, choose to mark the day by "waking the forest," in her case by rattling bells on a stick and urging the plants and trees to "Wake up, wake up! -- Spring is on its way!"
Heavy rain notwithstanding, mission accomplished.
Happy Imbolc!
