🧿 End of the Journey – Stability, Reward and Renewal 🧿

Here we are, on the final day of this journey together! For this reason, I chose to draw three cards from my deck The Magical Cats Tarot by Catherine Davidson and Thiago Corrêa, inspired by the well-known Rider–Waite–Smith tarot. This is a collective reading for anyone who comes across this post (just like the previous days) and it speaks to the energies of today and the next ten days, with a small glimpse toward what awaits us in 2026.

I want to thank everyone who followed this event. Even the smallest interaction has been a great joy for me! :)

The Nine of Pentacles accompanies us today with a message of maturity and awareness. The work we have done, the choices we have carried forward with consistency and dedication, have created a solid foundation from which we can now look toward the future with greater serenity. It’s time to acknowledge what we have built and allow ourselves to enjoy the fruits of our efforts, without guilt. This card invites us to indulge in simple pleasures and small luxuries as acts of self-care, not as forms of escape. Appreciating beauty, harmony and grace becomes an essential part of our balance. The true invitation, however, is to avoid excess: authentic well-being is born from the balance between discipline and pleasure, effort and rest. Alongside the Nine of Pentacles, we find The Emperor reinforcing the theme of stability and structure. He reminds us that order is not rigidity, but healthy containment. It’s the ability to create boundaries that support rather than suffocate. In this time close to the holidays, this card invites us to slow down without losing our center, to rest without dispersing what we have built. Finally, The Judgement opens the threshold of change! After effort and structure, comes rebirth. The card speaks about integration and a new awareness born from having crossed both light and shadow. It’s not about judging who we once were, but about recognizing the value of experience and releasing what no longer serves us. We are ready to welcome the new because we have made peace with the past! This final day is not an ending, but a threshold! Carry with you what you have learned along this path and honor the journey you have taken. Allow yourself to be reborn with trust and confidence in what you are becoming! 🧿

Hey CFVL! For you, I got Energy Retrieval. Here’s a link to the version of the card in my deck!

This card’s main themes are the reclaiming or recovery of energy that had been lost in a difficult situation or on a difficult person.

The image portion of this card shows mechanical arms swooping a Fire Energy and Water Energy out of a mysterious place (the discard pile). Fire is about passion, willpower, and courage, while water is about love, compassion, and flexibility. This implies that you’ll regain those traits after some kind of harrowing event that has either already passed or will be coming up in the winter.

A fun little note is that, at the bottom of the card, some text says that you can play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (in the trading card game), which can be a little hint that there’s more to this reading than can be dug up either by this deck or at this moment.

With the arrival of December, we step closer to the heart of winter and for honor this Season, from December 1st to December 21st, the day of the Winter Solstice (Yule), I'll guide you through a daily journey of introspection and symbols. Each day, I'll draw and share an oracle card accompanied by a short message or reflection. This path is meant to help us prepare energetically for the darkest moment of the year, that still point where Nature rests and awaits her rebirth. December is a passage between shadows and embers, a descent into ancient darkness where we safeguard the sparks of our intentions as we prepare for the return of the light.

21 Days of Midwinter Divination will be a small daily ritual: one insight each day, a symbolic lantern to help us move through the winter silence and listen to what it wishes to reveal. If you wish, you can follow these cards as daily guides, meditations, or simple inspirations for your personal journey.

🩵❄ Welcome to the Winter Circle. ❄🩵

EDIT 30/11/25: In order to make this event enjoyable for as many people as possible, I won’t be referring to any specific belief system. Of course, being a western woman raised in a christian family, for me some elements resonate more naturally than others, but my intention here isn’t religious; it’s symbolic. Symbols speak a universal language: they don’t ask for adherence, but offer insights, images, and intuitions that each person can interpret in their own way. Thank you for your understanding.

🤍 Dragonfly - You bring light to this world 🤍

Today’s card shimmers like a tiny dragonfly gliding between water and air, as if gravity were optional and reality just a thin veil to slip through with grace. When this card appears, it reminds us that our presence brings more light than we realize, through the way we exist and perceive the world around us. Alongside the dragonfly, I wanted to weave in the symbolism of the birch, one of the oldest trees associated with new beginnings. With its pale bark, it marks the threshold between what has been and what is about to unfold. It represents rebirth, purification, and that gentle strength that has no need to assert itself to be felt. It’s among the first plants to grow back after the frost, reminding us that light always finds a way to shine through. So, today the dragonfly invites us to recognize the brightness we already carry within, and the birch reminds us that we can start anew whenever we feel the need. Let the dragonfly’s lightness and the birch’s purity work together, illuminating us and opening a path ahead.

I also would like to offer a small ritual: light a white candle or a light, and imagine the birch’s luminous whiteness radiating from your hands. Take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Where do I want to bring more light today? Which new beginning can I nurture?” Let a simple, almost whispered answer rise, and keep it with you throughout the day like a precious talisman of purification. 🤍

A small trivia: In the Christian tradition, the 13th December it's the day of Saint Lucia. She is often depicted with a torch or a candle and holding a small tray with a pair of eyes on it. This symbolizes her martyrdom, as she was killed after her eyes were gouged out. For this reason, she is considered the protector of those who have vision problems or are blind. She is the patron saint of the city of Syracuse, although her relics are kept in Venice, in the church dedicated to her. In Italy there's the proverb “Santa Lucia, il giorno più corto che ci sia,” referring to this day as the shortest of the year in terms of daylight. In the past, this was actually true: before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, the shortest day of the year fell around this date. Now, however, it's December 21st, the winter solstice. In any case, Lucia means “light” or “bringer of light,” and it's not a coincidence that this particular saint is associated with these dark days of the year. Only in certain areas of Italy, Saint Lucia brings gifts to children instead of Saint Nicholas/St. Nicolò, who is celebrated in other regions. In some towns, parents take their children outside, making noise to call the Saint and invite her to arrive! Usually, someone impersonates her dressed completely in white, with her face covered and small lights on her head or around her. She doesn't speak but gives sweets and small toys to the little ones. 🤍

🔔 Spirit — Heavenly assistance from your angels and guides 🔔

Today's card is a call that does not come from outside, but from that silent and luminous point that each of us carries within ourselves. The geometric image on the card looks like an ancient sigil, an intertwined design that converges in the center, as if indicating a place of connection between what is earthly and what is subtle, between intuition and presence, between you and what invisibly sustains you. To accompany this energy, I chose the symbol of bells, long considered instruments capable of creating a bridge between worlds. Their sound is clear, penetrating, circular and it expands and returns like a wave. It's a reminder that you aren't alone, that every step you take resonates more widely than you imagine. Today, allow something within you to make a “sound.” It might be an intuition, a memory, a need asking to be heard, or a gentle calling toward your next meaningful gesture. You don't need to decipher it right away. Let it resonate like a bell would on a winter night. 🔔

🌟 Time to Shine — Creates the energetic resonance for golden opportunity 🌟

Today’s card tells us that our moment to shine has arrived! Not tomorrow, not when everything is perfect, not when every detail is in place. Today.

The symbol on the card reminds me of a prism reflecting light, sending its rainbow-colored rays in every direction and illuminating everything around it. It’s an invitation to finally let who we are find space in the world. And isn’t a snowflake itself a tiny, unique prism of ice? Snow falls in silence, yet it transforms everything it touches. It brings light even to the darkest nights, because it reflects every spark, amplifies every glimmer, and sharpens the outlines of things. Moreover, in many traditions it is seen as a purifying veil, as well as a blanket of life for the earth resting beneath it. This reminds me of a saying from the rural tradition of my region: "Under the snow, bread; under the rain, hunger". It means that a good winter snowfall is beneficial for the crops because it protects the seeds from frost and provides water slowly, while excessive rain can cause the seeds to rot, leading to poor harvests. This oracle is an invitation to shine like snow in the light, despite the cold, despite the silence, despite the apparent stillness of the moment. There is no need to force anything, just let it happen. Because when you start to shine, your energy truly creates resonance for new golden opportunities.

And the world, inevitably, responds. 🌟

🪽Abracadabra with wings - Fantastic good fortune and lucky chances 🪽

Today’s oracle carries a light and surprising energy, as if something unexpected were about to take flight. It speaks of luck, of possibilities that seem to manifest almost by enchantment, but also of the creative power of words and intention. The symbol on the card is an ancient talisman considered a magical and therapeutic formula. It already appears in Greco-Roman texts as a word of power to be written in a triangular form and worn as an amulet to ward off illness and negative influences. Its meaning has been linked to several ancient languages, but one of the most fascinating interpretations connects it to the Aramaic Avrah KaDabra, meaning “to create while speaking,” or abhadda kedhabhra, “to make appear what is named.” It wasn’t a joke or a trick, but a symbolic act: the word as a force that orders chaos and calls in good fortune. Because this message is adorned with wings, I associated it with the robin, a small bird that in many cultures is a messenger of good omens. In European traditions, it’s considered a bearer of hope and an announcement of positive change. I find this little creature very cute, and it’s always a joy when a robin chooses my window to rest for a while. They are also very lively birds, and their song reflects this vibrant quality. So, Abracadabra and the robin share the same symbolic language. Both speak of manifestation, of events that seem random but respond to a subtler order. They remind us that luck isn’t only about waiting, but about movement, listening, and the ability to recognize signs when they arrive. Today, pay attention to the words you speak and to the small signals that cross your path. They may be winged messengers of something good that is seeking space to manifest. 🪽

Tomorrow is the last day of our adventure together! What will you do for this Solstice? :)
