Positivity
I love Yule. It really is one of the most wonderful times of the year, especially living in New York, everyone is so happy and giddy about the upcoming holidays; but the seasonal depression that follows immediately after New Yearâs is definitely not fun.
âą
Itâs like a switch goes off, even the picturesque snow takes on a grey, unwanted cast and you find yourself counting down the days until Ostara/Spring. Depression creeps in slowly and insidiously. Itâs important to try to stay ahead of it. My bruja bff @thesolerebel suggested I incorporate more yellow into my wardrobe (a nod to Oshun). I must say it helps! Itâs a small gesture but it does affect my overall mood.
âą
If you find yourself feeling blue during these cold months, I suggest wearing something yellow, buy flowers (I always have roses in my home), or carrying a piece of citrine. Citrine is a revitalizing stone. It helps clear depression and stimulates creativity and the mind, perfect for when youâre feeling stagnant!
âą
I was inspired by last weekâs snowstorm to create these âpositivityâ bracelets. I used citrine (a motivational booster), malachite (for healing and overall positivity), fluorite (a stabilizing stone that balances emotions), and amethyst (the go-to healing stone). The colors alone bring a smile to my face. I love the combination of the vibrant green, yellow and purple.
And of course, in keeping with Balkan tradition, an evil eye for a bit of good luck đ
