The symbolic meaning of the lamb
The ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc, which is held on February 1, between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, celebrates the beginning of spring and the fertility of the earth and marks the time of the birth of the first baby lambs. The name of this festival ‘Imbolc’ refers to the flow of milk that becomes available due to these births early in the new agricultural year. It is considered a time of light, inspiration, rebirth, and healing through purification rituals and spring cleaning activities, preparing for a new season of growth and abundance. The month of February is traditionally known as a month of purification and atonement.
The symbolism of the lamb perfectly fits into this time of preparation and renewal as it represents the shedding of negative energy and old unwanted baggage through forgiveness and humility and the returning to a state of innocence, purity, and gentleness after a period of darkness and hardships. The lamb spirit animal encourages us to seek solace in simplicity and cultivate a nurturing presence within our hearts. When we embrace ourselves and others in a spirit of patience, acceptance, care, and kindness, we start to break down the walls around our hearts in order to freely give and receive the love and appreciation we are longing for.

A channeled message from Archangel Tzafkiel
My dearly beloved ones,
It is wonderful to appear by your side once again and hold you in my warm embrace of gentle care and love. I am Tzafkiel, the Archangel who is also known as the cosmic mother, and in this personification of the motherly energy, which is an energy of nurturing, abundance, and indulging in the sweetness of life, I bring you a message of encouragement for the start of a new season of blossoming after a natural period of rest and recuperation during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.
Little lambs are going to be born soon and this recurring event has long been recognized as a celebration, because for many centuries it has brought lightness and relief after the hardships and trials of winter. Their births out of their mothers’ wombs as well as the milk that will be flowing generously for their nourishment and that of their human keepers are nothing short of a miracle. I would like to talk to you about the cosmic womb and the metaphorical milk that is flowing for your spiritual nourishment and wellbeing, dear ones, and how they will allow you to return to a state of innocence and purity just like the little lambs that will grow stronger and stronger as spring and summertime are approaching.
The cosmic womb points to the source of all creation, a source that is overflowing with love, joy, and abundance and where all possibilities and inspired ideas originate from. It is also a place where you can unload your burdens and get revitalized again in order to prepare for a metaphorical rebirth after which you emerge with fresh new energy and a higher state of being aimed at unity and connection with the world around you. The cosmic womb offers you the opportunity to heal and feel cared for, loved, and embraced by the universal divine feminine energies and it acts as a portal to the divine wisdom and guidance that is available to all of you.
So how can you benefit from this principle of the cosmic womb in this lifetime and enjoy its many supportive qualities and gifts? It requires a conscious choice and readiness on your part to enter this magical and holy space, because you must be prepared to shed your old skin and release your old identity, so to speak, in order to appear naked and vulnerable without your defense-mechanisms and excuses trying to hold you back, and you must be willing to endure the swirl of intense emotions that are attached to your old ways of being and sit patiently until they settle down and a vast emptiness remains. You will become like an empty vessel for new energies to flow to. If you ask the universe to guide you to the space of the cosmic womb, angels will attend to your request and prepare a path of synchronicities, insights, and experiences that will lead you to this state of emptiness, where you surrender to the workings of the universe and choose to trust the gradual appearance of beneficial outcomes that are in store for you.

Do not worry about this process, my dearest ones, because you are fully supported when you go through this spiritual rebirth. The metaphor of the milk represents warm and nurturing care from the angelic beings of love and light on the one hand and an overflow of blessings and an abundant harvest on the other hand. Allow yourself to rest in the support and nourishment from the universe by taking in the freely flowing metaphorical milk, which is an energy that pierces through and purifies your walls of defense and isolation without judgment, but with the greatest compassion, acceptance, and love, creating a flow of grace, easiness, and lightness. You can relax and breathe now that there is nothing more to hold on to or to fight for. The sadness that is found behind the walls of anger, cynicism, and fear, is a sadness caused by feelings of unworthiness and disconnection to your Source and to who you truly are, but these feelings can now be replaced by an overwhelming sense of worthiness, inner peace, and inner power. This is the space from which you re-emerge into a new way of life and a new way of being. It is the same place where the trees and plants rest in winter, fully assured of new blossoming and growth in springtime. This deep trust and knowing are at the foundation of your time spent in the cosmic womb and once you get revitalized by the metaphorical milk, you truly start to come alive again and this aliveness also gets the chance to sink into your heart, making it blossom with courage and beauty, like the first snowdrops, and light up the world, like the increasing power of sun when the nights are getting shorter and the days are lengthening. Your heart will become a magnet for great abundance and blessings, filling you with joy and appreciation for life once again.
Finally, there are a few suggestions that I would like to convey to you that will support this process of rebirth. The first one is to reflect and mirror the energies of the cosmic mother that are compassion, acceptance, love, and care in your thoughts and actions. The second one is to stay consciously anchored in the present moment where you are free from your past and detached from the future that has yet to arrive. The third one is implementing a ritual of symbolically releasing your worries and fears as well as your desired manifestations and outcomes to the cosmic womb by writing them down and placing them in a box or a cauldron with a lid. The fourth and last one is doing some spring cleaning in your home and garden to match up the energy of your inner world with the energy of your outer world. When you clean and sort out your physical belongings, do so in a spirit of appreciation and gratitude and ask the angels to bless you and to keep guiding you to the cosmic womb whenever you feel weighed down again. No matter what you have experienced in your life, a spiritual rebirth and a return to innocence are always possible, because your true being remains unaffected by life and everything else melts away in the loving energy of the cosmic womb and is washed clean by the cosmic flow of milk. Blessings and abundance are waiting for you to get ready to receive them through your open and joyful heart, my dearest ones!
