December 21 ❄️ Winter Solstice

This is the longest night of the year.
The Sun settles into its lowest path across the sky, and darkness stays with us longer than it does on any other night.

It can feel heavy. Quiet. Still.

But this night is not just about darkness. It is also a turning point. From here on, the balance begins to change. Day by day, the light slowly returns, almost unnoticed at first, but steady and sure.

For centuries, people across cultures have marked this moment as a time to pause, reflect, and reset. A reminder that endings are often beginnings in disguise. That even at the deepest point of night, the direction has already shifted.

🌌 The darkness reaches its fullest depth.
✨ And from this moment, the light begins its way back.

Good morning, beloved witches and vigil-keepers...

Today is Mōdraniht.
The Mother's Night.

Yes, in the old Norse and Germanic traditions,
the night before Yule (the longest, darkest night)
belonged to the Mothers.

The disir. The norns.
The divine feminine ancestors
who weave fate and tend souls.

On Mother's Night, you don't sleep.
You 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁.

You sit in the dark.
You tend the fire.
You honor the threshold.

Because Mother's Night is the birth canal
through which the sun must pass
to be born again.

And birth requires witness.
Birth requires 𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗹.

This is what we've lost, witch...
the art of sacred waiting.

We want transformation instantly.
We want rebirth without labor.
We want the light to return
without having to sit through the dark.

But Mother's Night says:
"You must wait with me."

Because the darkest night is a gestation.

Everything you've been becoming
all through autumn's descent,
all through winter's stripping down...
it's forming in this final darkness.

And you can't rush it.
You can only sit with it.
Keep vigil. Tend the flame.
Trust the Mothers to do their work.

So what are you gestating, beloved?
What's forming in your longest night
that will be born when the light returns?

A new version of yourself?
A truth you've been afraid to speak?
A life you've been too scared to claim?

The Mothers are weaving it in the dark.
But they need you to wait with them.

With intention.
With presence.
With the fierce attention of a woman
who knows something is being born
and refuses to look away.

So keep your vigil, witch.
Sit in the dark these final nights.
The Mothers are working.
And what they're birthing
is 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

🕯️
With vigil in my bones and waiting in my blood,
Blessed Mōdraniht, witches.
