It is traditional upon imbolc, at sunset or just after ritual, to light every lamp in the house- if only for a few moments or light candles in each room in honour of the suns rebirth.

If snow lies on the ground outside, walk in it for a moment, recalling the warmth of summer. With your projective hand trace an image of the sun on the snow.
