    I hadn't thought about adding oats but I love the idea. I'll have to post my receipe for 12th Night Bread before Solstice next year. There's tons of food at our party. The 12th Night Bread is supposed to be more for ceremony than actual eating, but every year I make more and every year my guest lamate when it's gone. ;o)

    Cut and pasted from wikipedia: Imbolc is one of the four principal festivals of the Celtic calendar, celebrated among Gaelic peoples and some other Celtic cultures, either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Most commonly it is celebrated on February 1, which falls halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere.[1] Originally dedicated to the goddess Brigid, in the Christian period it was adopted as St Brigid's Day.[2] In Scotland the festival is also known as Là Fhèill Brìghde, in Ireland as Lá Fhéile Bríde, and in Wales as Gŵyl y Canhwyllau.
