Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

It’s time to unwind, turn inward and let the magic of this time of the year nourish us!

Mid-winter is the coziest time of the year for me with it’s less than 6 hours of daylight, crisp weather and walks in the snowy forests which are so silent. Our Christmas tree will be standing next to my desk in our small apartment completely blocking the possibility for me to sit at my computer and work! Haha, it’s a case of must-have-a-vacation and do something else than sit here on my computer all day.

We’ll get the tree on Saturday and that’s the day I’ll post my last post on social media for a year, wow! I’m excited to begin this new chapter in my life without social media. In 2024, I’ll be here on my blog and on Patreon actively, once the Christmas tree has moved out…

Tomorrow, on Solstice, I’ll start preparing for the magic of this season. For years, a decade or more, I’ve been committed to the 13 Holy Nights ritual every winter. It’s a tradition for spiritual seekers to turn inward and see forward. So, I’ll be taking notes and capturing all the messages & signs that are available there for 2024. But first, on Solstice though, I’ll go through my notes from the last time and reflect on this year for a much-needed closure.

In a nutshell, if you want to join, all you need to do for the 13 Holy Nights is to take a journal on your bed stand on Christmas Eve and record your dreams in it every morning when you wake up. That’s what I started with. There’s magic in what comes up!

Each night equals one month of the following year, but starting with a night for the whole year. Then between 25th and 26th it’s January, next night February and so on…

Thank you for sharing this year with me!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
