The Winter Solstice represents the longest night. It is the darkest time of year. Yet in this darkness is the power of rebirth. From this point on the sun begins to grow in light again. During the winter solstice we have an opportunity to rejoice in the rebirth of the Sun. 

Always remember that light expands when we share it! Go forward during this magickal time of year and share your light with others. 

A Winter Solstice Blessing by Sarah Smriga

“May the light that exists within and all around me expand. 
May I always remember that there is hope!
I receive the light and it restores me. 
Brighter days are ahead!”

To make the most out of the Winter Solstice, take a moment to say the Solstice Blessing out loud a few days leading up to December 21, and a few days after the solstice to tap into your power during this magickal time of year!

Make the Most – A reflection Exercise:

  1. Focus on all that you are grateful for – spend a few minutes reflecting. 
  2. From this place of gratitude connect to the flame within your heart. It is always there.
  3. As you focus on this heart flame, allow the light to expand within you. Connect to the essence of hope that this light brings. 
  4. Say a prayer or set an intention for renewal. How would you like to direct this light in your life?

Light a Candle:

Connect to your heart flame within and light a white pillar candle as a signal for hope and renewal on the winter solstice.
