February 1st and 2nd were once holidays for a goddess and Saint Brigid of divination and milk in ancestral history. Some of her animals helpers were groundhogs, badgers, and hedgehogs and this is why we predict the weather with groundhog divination on the second. Lighting a candle, making crosses, straw dolls, straw doll beds, and other traditions are good luck between February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the month. I found interesting documentaries from museums in Canada and Ireland last night online as well as photos. As a history minor at University it is interesting to me what old world traditions end up crossing over into modern day.
