Most commonly it is celebrated on February 1, which falls halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere.

UPDATE...
As of January 15, 2010 you can come visit Granny at her new store. The address is 118A West Oak St. Amite, LA 70422. Granny's Country Store and EDGE Books have joined together at this address to bring to the public all we have to offer. Located just off I-55 at exit 47 in downtown Amite we are here Tuesday thru Saturday from 10am to 6pm.
Granny's Country Store grew out of a desire to find fabulous fragrance and essential oils as well as the freshest herbs for my home use. Since I create my own candles, soaps and other "smell good things" for my family, I got quite upset when I would order an oil from someone and find out - after I'd spent my hard-earned money! - that what I received was nowhere near what I was led to believe I would get. I also wanted to use only the BEST oils and herbs for my home fragrances, natural healing, aromatherapy, teas, spellwork and rituals. After ages of searching I was able to find wholesale manufacturers and importers of top-of-the-line fragrance and essential oils. . . only to find that there was an unreasonable minimum amount I had to buy. I ran into the same problem with herb suppliers. As a result - and since there is only so much oil I can use at any one time - this store was born.
At Granny’s Country Store there are no minimum purchase requirements. You can pay online with confidence through our secure shopping cart or call your order to (985) 747-1541. We’re usually here from Monday through Saturday, 8AM to 6PM, CST.
You can rest assured that anything you buy here is of the highest quality. I NEVER dilute my oils, or short-cut on herbs. My candles and incense will have the scents you've been longing for. The resins come directly from the importer. All soaps and bath products are created in my own home and are individually packaged and labeled. You will not find any mass-produced items here.
I've been adding items for Pagan and Wiccan practitioners!
