🕯 Awen – Three Rays of Light 🕯

Today’s card carries with it the sacred breath of Awen, that rappresent the spark of the divine inspiration, a creativity that cannot be forced but simply flows. The three descending rays are symbols of balance, harmony, and the union of opposites. The word Awen comes from the Indo-European root wel-, “to blow,” the same root found in the Welsh Awel, “breeze,” and the Irish Ai, that means “poetic inspiration”. It’s an ancient thread running through different cultures, always pointing to the same truth: inspiration is a sacred breath that moves through us when we’re ready to receive it. Alongside this symbol, I chose the candle. A light that persists in the darkness, a quiet flame of hope, a gentle warmth guarding what is ready to be born and so perfect for this time of the year! In many spiritual traditions it represents purification, transformation, and a bridge between the material world and the spiritual one. But it’s also a secular and universal symbol of the light of truth that dispels the darkness of ignorance and confusion.

If in these days you feel pulled in different directions, if your heart and mind seem to contradict each other, allow your inner parts to speak to each other today, to listen, to meet. Remember that harmony is not born from perfection, but from inner dialogue. Try to reconcile within yourself the masculine and feminine energies, impulse and intuition, action and receptivity, strength and gentleness. They may seem like opposites, right? Yet the secret (which isn’t really a secret) is that true balance comes from their union, not their struggle.

May inspiration descend like a gentle breeze, like a small flame that lights you from within. 🕯

💫 Philosopher’s Stone — Powerful manifestation of wishes and goals by harnessing universal energy 💫

Today’s card carries an archetype so elegant and powerful that it immediately brought to mind Antonio Canova’s Funerary Monument to Maria Christina of Austria, housed in the Augustinerkirche in Vienna. Although the work was created for a woman of Catholic faith, the sculptor chose to present a secular vision of death, recognizing in tombs, and in the act of commemorating the dead, a task that is first and foremost human, moral, and civic. For this reason, he deliberately avoided traditional Christian symbols. In this Neoclassical masterpiece, a triangular opening frames the doorway to the beyond, a symbolic threshold between what has been completed and what continues beyond it. A portal that does not speak of an ending, but of transformation. And in the same way, the Philosopher’s Stone is not merely a talisman of manifestation, but a passage to a transition through which what is raw, desired, or still in potential can take form, substance, and direction. It is the gold drawn not from metal, but from awareness. Pairing these with the symbol of the wreath felt completely natural, because in it I saw the ouroboros, the snake that bites its own tail in its eternal cycle of death and rebirth. The wreath, especially at this time of year, becomes its vegetal counterpart: a seal of continuity that binds past, present, and future into a single living spiral.

Today, honor an intention. Imagine it glowing like alchemical gold at the center of a luminous wreath. Let it cross the symbolic threshold of transformation. 💫

🛡 Protection – Strong protective magick for family and home 🛡

This card arrives like an energetic embrace! It’s a reminder to feel safe, protected, and grounded. The circular symbol speaks of sacred boundaries, of a strength that expands outward and repels anything that does not belong to your peace. It's the Vegvísir, which in Icelandic means “signpost,” a protective talisman found in the Huld Manuscript, an old grimoire compiled by Geir Vigfússyni á Akureyri in 1860. Its purpose is to protect travelers on their journey, whether physical or inner, making it a true spiritual compass. Alongside this round shield, this compass capable of guiding us across both earth and soul, I chose the boule à neige. At first, I picked it for its spherical shape, but the more I researched, the more it became clear how perfect it was for this day. Born in Austria at the end of the XIX century thanks to Erwin Perzy, the snow globe embodies, for me, both the idea of travel and that of home. This transparent sphere contains a tiny suspended world, a place where time slows down. When you shake it and the snow begins to drift gently through the air, it becomes an invitation to pause, breathe, and find your center again. It’s a quiet little talisman reminding us that even when everything feels like a whirlwind, there is always a point of protected stillness, a place to return to.

Today, the energy of protection focuses on family and home: everything you love is well guarded. This is the moment to strengthen your boundaries, clear your spaces (physical or emotional), and remember that your energy is precious. You don’t have to do everything alone. Let this frequency create a soft yet powerful shield around you. 🛡

🌌 Star — The silver energy of the star brings good luck and serendipity 🌌

Today’s card is a luminous window opened onto the sky! Its geometric lines recall the silent perfection of the constellations, distant points that once connected and become stories. And December is exactly this, a time when darkness prevails but the night sky grows sharper, deeper, and closer. Since ancient times, we humans have looked to the stars for guidance, to predict the seasons, and to tell the myths that carried our ancestors through the centuries. During this time of the year we meet the unmistakable constellation of Orion, accompanied by Canis Major, Taurus, and Gemini. Along with them shine some of the brightest stars in the entire firmament, like Sirius in the Canis Major, Aldebaran in Taurus, Castor and Pollux in Gemini, Procyon in the Canis Minor, and Capella in Auriga. Orion, the most magnificent of the winter constellations, is marked by the three aligned stars of the Belt and by the bright stars Betelgeuse, Rigel, Bellatrix, and Saiph that trace its outline.

The Star card carries a simple but immense message: light never disappears, it only changes the form in which it appears. Even when everything around us feels still or dim, a spark remains suspended above us, ready to guide our next step. Today, welcome a small desire in silence. Let it shine like a winter star and let it point you toward the direction your heart dreams of. An unexpected and precious discovery will find its way to you at the moment you least expect it. 🌌

☀ Sun – The golden energy of the sun brings fame and fortune ☀

Today’s oracle card arrives like a luminous promise, like the first ray that cuts through the shadows and announces that the light is returning. It brings with it a golden energy that dissolves what feels heavy and highlights what within us is ready to shine. It is the fire that awakens, the enthusiasm that moves us, the fortune that is born when we illuminate who we are with sincerity. The fact that this card appeared for this event is deeply meaningful, especially as we approach the coming weeks when the Sun reaches its lowest point before being symbolically reborn. Many ancient traditions considered this a time of promise, because the light begins to grow again, life starts moving forward, and warmth prepares to return to the world. It is the return of solar power, small, but invincible.

To honor this energy, today I chose the orange, a symbolic fruit of this season. With its warm color, it mirrors the Sun in the heart of winter, becoming a small sphere of light you can hold in your hands to attract prosperity, abundance, and good fortune for the year ahead. Its scent invigorates the spirit, awakens the senses, and reminds us that vitality does not disappear; it simply rests quietly even in the deepest cold. So today I want to remind you of this, your light is not just a gift, it’s a magnet! When you let it shine without holding back, you attract opportunities, recognition, and good fortune! ☀

🎀 The Festival - Creates an energetic blueprint for a fantastic party or event 🎀

Today I stumbled upon this little treasure! A gift that feels like a promise, an enchantment ready to activate the moment the ribbon is untied! I like to think that each of us carries our own festival energy within, that spark that turns an ordinary evening into something memorable, that makes shared moments special, that awakens creativity and the desire to celebrate. The sigil on the card is an energetic mandala of balance, transformation, and cyclicity. The star at its center is an alchemical symbol, the union of spirit and matter depicted through two triangles pointing in opposite directions and colored differently. It represents the transformation of matter through consciousness. The cross surrounding it symbolizes the world in which energies move: the four elements, the four cardinal directions, the four pathways that sustain experience. And at its ends, the symbols of the Sun and the Moon, yet another pair of opposites whose harmony is essential. Everything in this sigil invites us to celebrate harmony within change, to see energy as something that moves, transforms, and returns to itself.

Alongside all this, I chose the bow, usually placed on a gift as a wish of good fortune, a visual way of “blessing” what is being offered. A bow is a small enchantment made of two ends meeting and holding onto each other, just like precious things do. It is not merely an ornament, but a gesture of care and intention. So, as this day opens like a gift, remember that you are creating your own energetic blueprint, the sacred space where a soul-festival, an event, an encounter, or a meaningful moment can take shape and become truly extraordinary. 🎀
