I've been away, working on a few things lately that I plan to post about soon.. But for now...
HAPPY SOLSTICE AND YULE TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE! π₯³
I wanted to share how I plan to celebrate this season so here it is below! (And feel free to share how you plan to celebrate too!):
A process to honor the ending of the year, a new cycle dying and being born anew. During this time, I honor the deities I work closest with as well that would like to be included and feel most connected with this time of death & renewal.
I honor Hades, the King of Death & Rebirth.
I honor Kronos/Khronos/Saturn, the Lord of Time and Change.
I honor Lucifer, the Lightbringer and King of Hell.
11 days, lasting from Dec. 21st to Jan. 1st, each day, during the night, candles will be lit, honoring the deities involved, and a meditation that focuses on letting the past burdens go, letting death (not literally) occur, and letting all things that have hurt go. Performing deep cleansing over the soul, processing and accepting the past.
Jan. 1st - Day of Twilight
The day in between, a celebration of both the end and the beginning!
This day, both Hades and Persephone are honored.
Khronos, especially, is honored.
And Lucifer, the Morningstar and King of Hell is honored.
During this day, a longer period of meditation and prayer is done, along with an act of devotional writing commemorating this cycle of change and death & rebirth.
A process to honor the beginning of the year, a new cycle beginning and renewed. As said above, the deities I am closest to and are closest to this time and to death & renewal, are honored during this time.
I honor Persephone, the Queen of Death/Rebirth and Spring.
I honor Kronos/Khronos/Saturn, the Lord of Time and Change.
I honor Lucifer, (especially) the Morningstar.
11 days, lasting from Jan. 1st to Jan. 12th, each day, during the morning/noon, candles are lit in honor of the deities involved, and meditation focused around welcoming the start and beginning of a cycle, inviting rebirth and renewal into my life, celebrating change and the new. Performing cleaning and energizing/charging, introducing change and renewal and energy, accepting the future that is to come.
