Today we celebrate the shortest day and the longest night… THE WINTER SOLSTICE
For me, this time of year can feel heavy, with so little light.
But I’ve learned to trust that we are meant to be cocooning, going inward. Resting, not rushing.
Despite the demands of the Christmas season, nature calls us to slow down.
Outside, everything is damp and dark, with no visible growth. Yet underground, roots are forming, bulbs are preparing to rise in spring.
And it’s the same for us, our seeds of manifestation need nourishment, darkness, and rest.
So let’s not fight this energy. Let’s go inward. Let’s meet our shadows, heal, and release what no longer needs to follow us into the light.
My Solstice rituals:
My rituals are simple but sacred: fairy lights to soften the dark, a fire to release what no longer serves me, candles with beautiful aromatherapy oils, warm nourishing drinks, cosy socks and blankets.
I journal, I pull cards, and I listen for what’s hidden in the shadows.
And for me, this day holds even more meaning 19 years ago, I was preparing to give birth to my daughter.
A reminder that even in the darkest season, life-changing light can emerge.
So tonight, I celebrate the darkness, the rest, and the rebirth that always follows.
