✨ TODAY THE 12 MAGICAL NIGHTS BEGIN!! ✨
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐝-𝐨𝐟-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬? Do you have any? Do you reflect on the past year and prepare for the new with an extensive goal setting session? Do you declutter your home, deep-cleanse your house and file away the piles of documents that have been on your silent to-do list … forever? 😅 Or do you choose to chill and let things unfold as they do? 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰: For the coming 12 days, I will be guiding through a traditional and very POWERFUL way of transitioning through this time, with SOUL guidance and magic rather than logical planning with your mind. Because here in Northern Europe we have an ancient, mystical ritual for the 12 Holy Days between Christmas Day and Epiphany: It’s called the “Rauhnächte”, a time where the veil between the worlds is very thin, and the forces of nature are unhinged. It’s the “time outside of time”, the “time between years”. Why? Because when you compare the Moon Calendar with the Sun Calendar … 11 days (12 nights) are MISSING. 😳😳 When this pagan tradition was still very alive, this was SUPER spooky. I imagine it like venturing to the end of the flat world, ready to fall off in any moment. 🙈 Back then, people were still at the whim of nature and their circumstances, famines and epi- and endemics could strike any time, there was obviously no electricity, days were short, and the loooong evenings were spent around candle light and fires, sharing spooky stories about hairy monsters and evil spirits that would come to haunt them if they disobeyed the rules … Our world has dramatically changed since then. Thankfully. 😅 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞: Despite the constant busyness and overwhelm and crazy pace of our often uberfull lives, this time of year STILL invites us to become quiet, to go within ... To introspect. To celebrate and learn from the past. To release what no longer serves us. To purge and clear and cleanse. So that THERE IS SPACE for the Magical New. ✨
