Have y’all heard of any of these New Year’s superstitions? We definitely wash all of the clothes and clean the house before midnight. We also cook the greens and black eye peas. What are some of yours?

Don’t wash clothes on New Year’s Day – said to “wash away” good luck or even symbolize washing away a loved one.

Eat black-eyed peas (U.S. South) – for good luck and prosperity in the coming year.

Eat pork – pigs root forward, symbolizing progress and wealth.

Avoid chicken or lobster – animals that scratch backward, thought to bring setbacks.

Open doors and windows at midnight – to let the old year out and welcome the new one in.

First-footer tradition (Scotland) – the first person to enter your home should be dark-haired and bring gifts for luck.

Wear red underwear (Spain, Italy, Latin America) – for love, luck, and passion.

Don’t break anything – breaking dishes or glass on New Year’s Day predicts bad luck.

Have money in your pocket at midnight – to ensure financial prosperity.

Eat 12 grapes at midnight (Spain) – one grape for each month of good fortune.

Avoid crying or arguing – emotions on New Year’s Day set the tone for the year.

Clean the house before New Year’s Eve – but never on New Year’s Day itself.

I celebrate the family that stood by me through my worst of times, I celebrate the family that is there at any moment, I celebrate the family that cheers on my wins, the family that may not be blood, but is family by soul.

Hello all! I hope you’re all doing wonderful… We’re still getting settled into our new home but wanted to take a moment to honor and celebrate this Mother’s Night, the sacred beginning of Yule.

Mother’s Night marks the quiet threshold where Yule begins. It is celebrated and honored on the eve of the Winter Solstice season, this night honors the Mothers… our ancestors, the divine feminine, and the unseen forces that birth, guide, and sustain life.

It is a night of remembrance and gratitude. Candles are lit not for presence, calling in those who came before us, acknowledging the sacrifices, love, and wisdom that flow through our bloodlines. On Mother’s Night, beginning the darkest day of the year, we sit and honor the sacred space from which new light will be born.

Mother’s Night is traditionally dedicated to the Mothers, ancestral female spirits, though it is completely acceptable and even encouraged to honor goddesses such as F***g, Freyja, or other Dark Mother figures aligned with winter, fate, and rebirth. Especially if you already work with or honor a specific deity that is a mother figure for you.

Blessed Mothers Night & Blessed Yule…

I’ve been MIA because the last few months have been really, really intense… But we finally did it… My family and I finally closed on our new home and we’re moving in and getting settled. Perfect timing too! Once we get settled, I’m hoping to get back on this page and more involved. Wishing you all many blessings in this Celtic new year.
