Magic Manifesting: Winter Solstice

Hello sweethearts! You might have noticed that I've been a little quiet around the blogosphere. That would be because I am hibernating! I have my nice little Dominee-Cave and wonderful things are happening during this time of hibernation. I have some great things planned for the New Year, plus I have been working on the Winter Blessings ebook which will be released any day now and I am so excited to share it with you.

I wanted to check in with you about my Word of the Month which was clarity. A lot of things have been transforming in my life over the past few months, situations, relationships, ideas, and I have wanted... and needed... clarity to really see into the hearts of those things. This month I have done deep thinking, I have created boundaries, I have looked closely at the things that I might otherwise not. I have made amends with the past and I am ready to embrace the future.

I know what I want.

So many gifts and blessings have been finding their way to me this month, so many lessons are being taught to me. I find myself being able to laugh joyfully and feel freely and it feels good. I've also been told to slow down. I've re-cooperated from a cold, I've pulled a muscle, and I've had circumstances that have made me miss huge chunks of sleep, and all of these not-so-pleasant things have given me clarity in the best way. A reminder to slow down, to wade at times instead of constantly submerging myself in all of my daily tasks and obligations.

Dominee needs to slow down and it's okay. More magic will happen if I take my time instead of rushing around trying to accomplish everything under the sun all at once.

This is a great lesson to learn.

Sooooo, the Solstice is almost here and I thought I would take this opportunity to share with you some information about the Winter Solstice from a Pagan perspective.

The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year, it happens when the earth is tilted on its axis, farthest away from the sun, which means the official date of the Solstice changes each year. It usually falls around the 21st or 22nd and this year it is December 22nd. It is also the official start to Winter.

On this night we celebrate the rebirth of the sun. The Goddess gives birth to the Sun, the promise of the light returns. You can wake up before dawn and celebrate as the sun rises. Or the night before you can light candles to guide the sun back into the world.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

So very true.


Have a Magical Yule and check out my Winter Blessings ebook for all sorts of ideas on how to make Winter an awesome time for you.
