Hi Crew, Here’s something fabulous you can try at home that I found on ValerieTejeda. If you love cosmic energy then you might want to jump over and have a look see.
This ritual starts December 21 and goes for 12 nights. What a wonderful way to set intentions, wishes and hopeful aspirations.

Winter Solstice Ritual

This ritual involves writing down 13 wishes, one for each night, each represents an intention or dream for the upcoming year.

For this ritual you will need:

A piece of paper or a journal, a pen, a candle, matches or a lighter, and a fireproof bowl for burning.

Step 1: Set your space

Begin by creating a peaceful space. Dim the lights, light a candle, burn some incense, play soothing music… Whatever resonates with you to create a calming and magical space for the ritual.

Step 2: Write your intentions for the year ahead

On the Solstice, take a moment to reflect on what you want to leave behind in 2025 and what you want to bring into 2026. Then, write 13 wishes (intentions, dreams, etc) for the year ahead on a piece of paper and then cut the paper so each of the wishes are on their own piece. You can store the wishes in a bowl or envelope.

Step 3: Burn one wish each night

Over the next 12 nights (the Solstice being night 1), light a candle and grab one of the pieces of paper (don’t look to see what it says) and safely burn the paper as if you are releasing the wish into the universe. Watch the flame consume it completely.

Step 4: Keep the final wish

On the 12th night, burn your 12th wish and keep the 13th. Look to see what the 13th wish is and this will be considered your biggest intention of the 13 for the year to come. Save the piece of paper to reflect on it throughout the year.

What lovely, quiet, safe way to engage with yourself and the universe.
What do you have to lose?
