What an appropriate card for today, the season of Imbolc. On the Celtic Tree calendar, the Willow is the fourth month, February. And, this is the time of Imbolc or Brigantia, Brigit's fire festival. This month is also sacred to the moon goddess. This tree also offers protection against damp diseases and modern chemists extract salicin from her bark to be used in the treatment of rheumatic fever.
