“This circle opens where endings soften into beginnings.” - Papawitch
Welcome
This ritual gathers us inside a rare moment where the season, the sky, and the cycle move as one.
Capricorn holds the Sun and the Moon only hours apart, and the longest night deepens into a clean slate.
Winter Solstice marks the return of the light.
New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle.
Yule carries the evergreen spirit forward through winter’s darkest hours.
Tonight we move through grounding, descent, renewal, rebirth, and illumination with intention, clarity, and craft.
Your altar, your presence, and your breath will shape the work.
Meaning of This Convergence
Winter Solstice offers the still point where the Sun pauses before climbing again.
New Moon offers a sky emptied of light so new possibilities can form without distraction.
Capricorn offers structure, discipline, and long-term vision.
Yule offers endurance, continuity, and the reminder that life persists even through winter’s depth.
Together they produce a double-dark portal where release becomes possible and rebirth becomes powerful.
This ritual uses five sacred flames to guide you through the turning of the year, the opening of the cycle, and the rise of your next chapter.
Your Altar
Build your altar in a way that feels right to you.
Simple or elaborate both work equally well.

This ritual is a celebration. Have Fun!
