Physically and energetically clear the spaces you spend most time in. Give away or recycle things you no longer need. Smudge your home.
Add the colours of reds and orange to your altar. Decorate with evergreens such as firs, mistletoe, holly, and Ivy.
Gather your family and friends. This is the perfect time to have a party and celebrate the return of the light.
Spend the night telling stories of power and reconnection, and the magical world of death and rebirth.
On the night before the Winter Solstice, go for a walk in the dark, and connect to the silence and mystical part of yourself.
Before dawn, get somewhere that you can watch the sun rise. Take a moment to affirm your dreams and desires, and set your intentions for any changes that you want to bring into your life as the new cycle begins.
Alone, or with your family, take time to reflect on all that you are grateful for.
