When Spirituality Goes Awry: Students in Cults
Adolescents are objects of recruitment for religious cults. Identifying new religious
movements, cults, and dissenting religious groups, understanding their practices, and
discovering reasons for their attractiveness to some students are helpful to the school
counselor.
Suggestions are offered as to how to identify which cults are destructive, and how professional school
counselors can assist students involved with such group.

WEEKLY SPECIAL - Imbolc
Imbolg, Brigit's Day, St. Lucy's Day, Feast of Brighid, Oimealg, Imbolic, Disting (Teutonic, Feb 14th),
Lupercus, Candlelaria, The Festival of Lights, or the Feast of the Virgin
Celebrations at Imbolc are performed to welcome back the sun, which is slowly but surely making a
comeback. Days are noticeably longer now, and people were anxious for spring to return in full force.
Lighting candles and fires is the most common activity for the day. Both the God and Goddess are young
in the spring, and symbolize new life and new beginnings. Imbolc is a special holiday, sacred to the
Celtic Goddess, Brigid. One common rite of the past is for a young girl dressed as the virgin Goddess to
proceed through the village wearing a circle of candles on her head. Love for Brigid was so strong that
the Church was forced to recognize her, though the Catholics turned her into St. Brigit. And Imbolc
became St. Brigit's Day. The great goddess becomes the maiden again.
