We make wishes on the Day of the winter solstice: signs and rituals of this day. Signs, rituals for the winter solstice Winter solstice solstice

WINTER SOLSTICE DAY 21-22 DECEMBER. JOY HOLIDAY. December 21, 10:44 a.m. GMT (December 21, 2:44 pm Moscow) The Sun will descend as much as possible into the southern hemisphere of the sky, that is, moving along the ecliptic, it will reach its lowest declination - 23 degrees 26.457 minutes and astronomical winter will come.

Yule is the celebration of the winter solstice from the eve of the winter solstice and all those 13 nights from the day of the winter solstice (December 21-22). 3 days before the date of the solstice and three days after are considered the most magical. The longest night of the year and the shortest day. Yule celebrates another turn of the wheel of the year, a return of strength. This holiday marks the birth of the Sun. Starting from Yule, the length of the day increases, and light gradually begins to prevail over darkness. It refers to the holidays of balance, this is one of the four main astronomically calculated points of the annual wheel. Time for meditation, discovering new abilities in yourself. In the period from December 19 to 24, it is good to analyze achievements, discard the old, get rid of the unnecessary. This time is also called the "Days of the Serpent", when the Sun passes the thirteenth constellation of Ophiuchus. New Year and Christmas are direct descendants of pagan celebrations, for example, the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree goes back to the cult of the World Tree and fertility rites. In many religions, the birth of God occurred precisely during the renewal of the power of the Sun. The night preceding the day of the Solstice is called Modranecht, the mother's night, the night of mothers, the mother of all nights, since it is believed that it is on this night that the Goddess gives birth to a young solar God - a baby, personifying the principle of the birth of life from death, or order emerging from chaos. Winter Solstice December 21-22. Yule holiday. On the same night, the newborn God of the bright part of the year begins a battle with the old king, his father, for the right to remain in the world of the living, and after a dozen days and nights he defeats him, and with his victory the bright half of the year begins. On these very twelve days and nights after Yule, while the battle between the two kings is going on, they were guessing about the future (for the coming twelve months) - this is both a Slavic and Western European tradition. The day following the Mother's Night was considered the "day of fate": everything that was done and said on this day before sunset determined the events of the entire coming year. The twelfth night (actually, the thirteenth, if Modranecht is taken into account) was considered a kind of culmination of "fortune-telling days" - and there were no more true dreams, predictions, signs than those that appeared on that night. The twelfth night is the time of words, and every word spoken on this day has a special meaning. It is believed that the vow or oath pronounced on the twelfth night is inviolable, and the words of spells and conspiracies are more effective than ever. Rituals at this time are aimed at accelerating the coming of the Sun, the renewal of Nature. Holiday colors: black, green, white, gold, silver. Symbols: pentacle, cold iron, stone, bonfire. Stones: bloodstone, ruby, cat's eye, serpentine, emerald, diamond. On Yule, agrarian rites are often held to return the fertility saved by people to fruit trees - pies stuffed with fruits collected from them in the fall are hung on the branches of trees in orchards and a ritual libation of wine (cider) is performed. The “return of fertility” to the fields is carried out much later. By the way, the decoration of the Yule tree has approximately the same meaning: the branches of a living and green tree are decorated with pastries, ritual figurines and balls symbolizing future fruits. In addition, a ritual bonfire is lit on Yule, as a symbol of the disappearance of the dark half of the year in the fire of the newborn sun, they helped the young sun to grow stronger after birth, “fed” it, added strength to it. Winter Solstice December 21-22. Yule holiday. This fire also has a powerful cleansing power. Yule is celebrated cheerfully and noisily, the stronger the general fun, the brighter and higher the fire of the ritual bonfire, the more hubbub - the more likely it is that the celebrating people will help drive away all the evil that can interfere with the birth of the young God. It is very important to wait for dawn on this night (especially if the night was starry and the morning clear) and greet the newborn Sun. Rituals and magical actions associated with threads also go well on Yule: weaving, tying, tying, knotting, weaving, rituals based on embroidery made by oneself, and in addition - unweaving the old, untying situations and the like. At the time when the new is born, in Modranecht, all knots must be untied, all fetters removed. Keep this in mind when celebrating Yule - those who celebrate should be light and free from attachments and fixations that have accumulated all year.

Yule house decoration Take brushes of viburnum, tie red, green, gold and silver ribbons on them. Such brushes can be hung on a tree or hung around the house, they will bring health and well-being to your home. Consecrate cinnamon sticks for love and health in your home. In the future, they can be made into a garland or used for baking or drinks. Basil sprigs will bring wealth and protection to your home. Laurel will give health and activate your strength. You can also use cones, bells, coins, acorns, mistletoe, apples and flowers for decoration. On the Yule holiday, feed the birds and animals, give gifts to loved ones. So you will establish a connection with the World for the whole coming year. The birth of the Sun is a great time of rethinking, renewal. We always have room to grow and something to strive for. Winter Solstice December 21-22. Yule holiday. Yule tree. Another important Yule tradition is the decoration of the evergreen tree. So, without knowing it, we all celebrate this holiday - after all, in every house at this time a green Christmas tree appears, decorated with lights and fruits. Among the decorations, there is traditionally always the Sun and the Moon, symbols of God and Goddess, day and night light. Stars (on threads or clips) surround the Christmas tree with twinkling and the tree seems to float in the darkness between the worlds, becoming a symbol of the World Tree. As a sign of connection with the generations of ancestors and descendants, as a symbol of the souls of the celebrating family, angels or other winged figures are hung on the Christmas tree. Do not forget about the gatherings of fairies on the branches. Small gift packages and traditional glass balls are the symbols of our desires, which we make on the longest night. Toys in the form of a cornucopia or a bunch of grapes are the guarantee of a house full of cups and full cups that are drunk to the glory of the gods and spirits on Yule night. Yule drink. Mulled wine is brewed, choosing wine according to one's own taste. A thicker, balanced Cabernet or a fragrant, recognizable Isabella is the choice of the hostess. If dry wine is chosen, then sugar will have to be added to it, and it is more convenient to immediately stock up on syrup for this. By the way, mulled wine can be sweetened with homemade jam syrup, blackberry or raspberry. Someone likes, along with traditional spices, cloves (literally a couple of pieces) and cinnamon, to revive mulled wine with dried strawberries or cherries. You can serve mulled wine in glasses, first putting a few cherries from compote there. Others prefer to cook mulled wine traditionally: New Year's and citrus. Then, during cooking, tangerines are added (if you plan to eat them later, then you need to clean them from the films and serve guests with long spoons or forks for fruit) and lemon zest. The best mulled wine is brewed in a pot, cast iron or copper, not aluminum. It is stirred, usually clockwise, and heated to the degree of "pre-boiling". This is a unique moment when mulled wine is just thinking of starting to boil. Catching it is easy to learn: it's just a matter of practice. Time and Yule Ritual. This is the darkest night of the year - and at the same time, the most joyful magic happens in these moments. This is a time of cleansing from the old obsolete and a time to remember your past achievements, boast about them, remaking them into fables, and release your fantasy into the future: make plans, make plans and dream. WE MAKE CHARMS FOR Yule. This is a charm for a year. They must be done on the night of December 21-22. On the longest night of the year - before the winter solstice, each of you will be able to independently make yourself a charm for a year. To do this, you need to gather your whole family, but you can only have your closest friends (you can use both) at the set table. The table should be laid so that it is no longer necessary to bring and put new dishes, tea, cake - everything should be at once. You can sit down at the table at any time, starting from sunset until 22:55. Collect snow in a beautiful earthenware, metal or crystal bowl just before you sit down at the table. In this vessel we put any items that will play the role of amulets for each of your loved ones: rings, bracelets, beads, etc. And we also put pre-cooked twigs of mountain ash and pine in a bowl. We light a white candle and strengthen it in the snow in this vessel. You can pre-strengthen it at the bottom with plasticine. You communicate at the table, eat. It is advisable not to get up. A couple of moments before the candle touches the water, take your object and dry it in your hands or hold it against your body. Then those who live in this house go around the house clockwise 3 times. Get around inside. Pour melt water over the threshold. Who lives in the entrances, pour water over the threshold of the entrance. Result: The amulet is ready for each of those you love! Your apartment is now well protected from evil forces! These amulets will keep you, your loved ones and your home throughout the year, until the next Yule. Amulet to attract money: On the day of the winter solstice, make an amulet to attract money. You will need: 9 coins, 6 small green candles with a wide base, a tray made of copper or any other shiny metal, dry basil, a piece of green silk. Create a circle of green candles on a tray and place 9 coins inside the circle. Light the candles, starting from the north, saying: - From this day on, the day comes, raining on my money. With sunshine, let wealth come! Leaving the coins in the center, move the candles so that they are almost touching and the wax drips onto the coins. Let the candles burn out completely. When the wax hardens, cut out a disc with coins inside and sprinkle it with dry basil to attract wealth. Leave the amulet where it will be exposed to light for one day and one night, then wrap it in green silk and hide it where you keep the documents. Prosperity Ritual: Decorate the Christmas tree with golden cones and green and red Christmas tree garlands and rain. Buy a large scarlet candle in advance. Prepare dinner for the whole family, it should include meat and vegetable dishes and bread. When you cook, be sure to stir each dish 13 times in a clockwise direction. old tradition for natural growth. Arrange green and red candles in the room where you will have dinner and light them, and turn off the electric light. Place a scarlet candle in the center of the table and place 9 nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds and silver coins around it to symbolize the gifts of the earth, small particles of the earth and metals of the earth. Blow out all the candles one by one and welcome the darkness to be defeated by the light. Say: In the dark I am in the womb of mother earth, whose gifts surround the candle of the New Year, signifying the cycle of beginning and end, death and birth, there is a time and a season for everything, decrease before growth, loss before increase, lack before abundance. Calmly think in the dark, allowing images of the future to arise in your thoughts. When you're ready, say: - The light returns and life with it. The sun has not died, only dozed off and will be born again with mother earth as I light this flame. Light a scarlet candle and from it light all the other candles again, saying in turn: Light from light, life from life, let our prosperity grow. Eat a few nuts, raisins and seeds to increase the wealth in your life. Say: - I take strength from mother earth in the growing light of the sun and believe in the growth of my well-being. As you sit in the candlelight, let optimism fill your soul.

Do not miss! I'll give you a few tips on what you can do: Sort the papers on your desktop for items you need. Throw out, finally, a large number of different notes - memos. Having written out preliminary important information on ONE piece of paper. Before writing out the information, check its relevance. It often happens that most of it is no longer needed. Dear women, shake out the contents of your handbags and make room for new important checks, napkins, receipts, sweets, cosmetics, nice trinkets, etc. Otherwise, for sure, nothing will fit. Spend one evening (or two, or three, or... - as needed) on your computer to delete photos of ex/former, outdated music, unused downloads of years...twenty years ago of trainings, cool tutorials, etc. Pay off your debts or agree when you will pay them off. Remember your promises to other people. If possible, do them. If not, then say you can't do it. Look in closets and wardrobes. Collect things and clothes that you have not used for more than 2 years and give them to those who need them. I sometimes take my things to the entrance and they are quickly taken apart. Remember your surroundings. It is possible that there are people in it with whom it is high time to say goodbye. So let them leave your life to make room for new friends and contacts. Write down your limiting beliefs, negative memories, fears about the future on a piece of paper and burn it. Let this act be the beginning of farewell to them. Remember the people who were once dear to you, but you broke up and broke up being in conflict, overt or hidden. And you still have an unpleasant aftertaste from it. If possible, write or call this person, thank him for being in your life. Or ask for forgiveness. And if contact is lost, then mentally thank the person. Think about what you promised yourself to do this year. Assess these promises for relevance and reality. Those promises that did not pass this filter - let go. If you can do something, then do it. If not, then there is still time until December 31 :) Remember that New Year and Christmas are ahead. Decorate Christmas trees, decorate houses, buy gifts. This is also preparation for the birth of a new sun. How to prepare for this or that ritual: First, you must choose a suitable rite that can be performed on the Winter Solstice. Decide how exactly you want to change your life, and depending on this, give preference to one or another ritual. And secondly, it is important to carefully prepare for the upcoming magical action. Stock up on all the necessary attributes in advance, and choose candles depending on what rite they are intended for: it is better to use red candles to attract love into your life, white candles for global changes in life, and green ones to improve your well-being. And also do not forget to prepare in advance all the other items and substances that you will use. It is also important to make sure that no one interferes with you on the day of the ritual. Therefore, think in advance about choosing a suitable secluded place. Also, you must definitely learn the words of the conspiracy that you will use. Although it should be noted that some experts argue that on the day of the Winter Solstice, you can even pronounce those conspiracies that you come up with on your own. It is only desirable that they be composed in poetic form and do not contain a single superfluous word. So decide for yourself whether you use proven conspiracies or spells of your own composition for years - most importantly, do everything right. Cleansing magic: Traditionally, the cleansing of negativity is carried out with the help of five elements. First, we need incense - incense, thyme, St. John's wort or incense sticks. Incense is a symbol of Fire. Second, water. Ideally - spring or any untouched: for example, drinking water bought in a store is suitable, but on condition that it was purchased specifically for the ritual. Next, we need a feather or a fan - symbols of the element of Air. The incarnation of the Earth will be the ashes from incense or herbs. And finally, the fifth element is the action itself, the ritual itself and sacred words as a manifestation of spiritual energy. So, on the morning of December 21, start with a general cleaning. Wipe dust and reflective surfaces properly, get rid of everything that is superfluous, outdated and, of course, broken. Let go of things that evoke bad memories or are simply associated with something unpleasant. At sunset, we place everything necessary for our ceremony on the table, which you will free in advance from unnecessary things, turn our faces to the east - because it is from the east that there is a constant influx of energy, we light incense, bring them to the heart, and from the heart we raise our hands up and say : “In the name of the Supreme Lord, the Creator of everything, the Guardian of everything, the Destroyer of evil, I ask you, Spiritual forces of the Universe, accept this incense as a sign of respect before you! I ask you to cleanse me and my living space from everything negative. May it be so!" Then fumigate yourself from the top of your head to your feet and, holding the incense in your right hand, approach the threshold. Moving clockwise, go around the entire apartment. I recommend staying longer in the corners: this is where the maximum amount of negative energy accumulates. In addition, during this action, you must constantly visualize how everything bad leaves your house, how you literally push black energy out the door, how it disappears, dissipates. When you complete the circle and again find yourself at the threshold, open the door and symbolically drive away the negative, saying at the same time: “Let all evil leave my house! May it be so!" Next, we take a vessel with water (it is desirable that it be a wooden or ceramic bowl), fumigate it with incense, bring water to the heart, lift it up and in the same way ask for help from the Spiritual forces of the Universe. Thumb and ring fingers right hand we sprinkle our crown and three times - the space in front of us (do not forget that you are facing east). After that we go back to front door and we go around the apartment clockwise, sprinkling the room, imagining how everything bad goes underground with water, leaving your house and your life forever. After making a circle, open the door and sprinkle the space near the entrance. Then pour the water down the drain. You will go through the third circle with a fan or a feather in your right hand (do not forget to first ask for support from the Spiritual forces of the Universe and cleanse yourself of negativity: to do this, you need to move the fan or feather on the top of your head, imagining that you are shaking off the negative energy that has accumulated over a whole year). "When going around the house, make such movements as if sweeping out the negative. To enhance the effect, you can take a bell and ring the whole apartment. And finally, when the incense burns out, nameless and thumbs take some ashes with your right hand (incense ash is a symbol of a clean land) and touch the top of your head or between the eyebrows - this will cleanse yourself. And to clean the house, we take the remaining ashes and, following from the front door clockwise, sprinkle a little in the corners. Now it remains for you to thank the Spiritual forces of the Universe for helping you conduct this ceremony and free yourself from all that is bad and unnecessary. Try to have a good rest: tomorrow you will have a new, no less important work. Coins for good luck. On December 22, on the first day of the year according to the solar calendar, the foundation of the next 12 months is laid both on the subtle and on the material plane. And since the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn, you must first of all concentrate on the material side of life, namely career and money. This day is perfect for making money talisman which will multiply your benefits. As the Sun grows, so will your well-being grow: this is the main idea of ​​the talisman. We will need spring or untouched water and two coins, but they must be obtained on this particular day. In the morning, go to the store, buy a good drink and delicious food (as a symbol of a prosperous life), get change - you will take the necessary coins from it, preferably ten rubles. Pay attention to one important detail: before you buy food, in a whisper so that no one can hear, say: "I dedicate this food to increasing material wealth for myself and for my family." And then buy. Arriving home, put the food on the table, pour the drink into a bowl, pour water into another container and take two coins. Stand facing east, light incense and turn in any form to the Spiritual forces of the Universe. Ask to help you cleanse yourself before performing the ritual and conduct the ceremony itself, aimed at increasing the well-being of your family. Now, with the help of incense, fumigate yourself from head to toe, food, drink and coins (coins - especially carefully). After that, smoke the water. Sprinkle yourself, food, coins with water (again with special care) - this will wash away any negative energy layers. Take a cup with a drink, bring it to your heart and in your own words turn to God, to the Spiritual forces of the Universe with a request to accept this drink as a sign of respect. Now, with the thumb and ring fingers of the right hand, we sprinkle the food with this drink three times. Then we rotate the bowl clockwise, saying at the same time: “As the Sun grows, the way the good, happiness, wealth of me and my family grow. May it be so!" We do this three or nine times. We do the exact same thing with food. Then we take the coins, put them in left hand , and with the ring finger of the right hand we touch the drink, and then - to each coin, and from both sides. At this time, we will wear out: “I dedicate this talisman to increasing money and material wealth for me and my family. May it be so!" We place the coins between the palms and from the bottom of our hearts thank God and the Spiritual forces of the Universe for their support and help. Now these coins are your talisman. Place them in a wallet separately from other money (so as not to accidentally spend them), and throughout the year they will attract positive, wealth and well-being to you. By the way, two coins mean double the capital. So you can count on the fact that in the coming year you will become twice as rich. After the ceremony, arrange a small feast of the same foods and drinks that were used in the ritual. Share this food with your friends and family so that not only you but also your loved ones are charged with the energy of well-being. Below I offer 8 rituals for the Solstices. This is the best time to launch your intentions for the future. The period for the rituals is from December 21 to December 23. 1. Let go... If this was not your year, sit down at sunset, take a piece of paper and write down all the bad and negative things that have happened to you over the past 6-12 months. Light a fire in the fireplace or a fire outside the house. Come up with your own prayer for the ceremony, such as “Goodbye past, I let you go. I give you freedom. There is no return for you." Burn the paper, imagining how all your sorrows and difficulties disappear with the smoke and set you free. If you don't want to burn your problems (or don't have the opportunity), you can find a place where you can dig a small hole. Take your trouble paper and bury it. Put a few stones on top and say the words of farewell. 2. As written... Write your dream down on one side of the paper, then turn it over and write down everything you think you need to do to make it come true. Make a decision each week to take one item from the action list and work on it - do this for the next 25-52 weeks. Hang your list in a special place. 3. Create a sacred space... If you're meditating, midnight is a great time to meditate on launching your intentions for the coming year. You can use this abundance meditation. 4. Plant Intention Seeds... Buy any flower seeds and plant them in a small glass in the window. You don't need soil for this - just soak two paper towels, wring out lightly and unfold. Fold them carefully and place them in the glass so that they form a soft wall inside the glass. Place the seeds between the napkins and the glass so that they can be seen. Napkins should hold them in place. Place the glass on a window where the sun shines for several hours every day. Add enough water to keep the wipes moist. The plants you grow will be a reminder of your dream. Each time you water them and watch them grow, imagine one small task you can do to achieve that dream. Perhaps by the time the plant reaches maturity, you will already be making progress towards your dream. 5. Stage rebirth… Water represents cleansing and renewal. Light the candles and fill the tub. Turn on calm music and allow yourself 20 minutes of complete relaxation. Visualize all the good things you want to see in your life in the next 6-12 months. When you flush, imagine all the problems and difficulties being washed away along with the rest of the water. 6. Create a place... Spend the evening clearing a place for your dreams. Buy large trash bags and over the next week fill them with things that you haven't used in a long time or things that make you feel uncomfortable. Clear your house of unnecessary things and donate them to Charity before the end of this week. 7. Use cultural traditions... In Ecuador, on New Year's Eve, it is customary to eat 12 grapes before midnight and make a wish on each grape eaten. You can do this with your dream. Each grape can represent a step needed for your movement. Imagine yourself living every step of your dream as you eat grapes. Ecuadorians believe that walking around the block with a suitcase in hand will bring you the trip of your dreams. You may find it curious to pack your suitcase, put pictures of your dream in it and carry it around your house (block). Either way, it will amuse your neighbors. 8. Visualize... Create your Wish Board. Find images that represent your dreams and spend the evening cutting them out and pasting them onto a board or piece of construction paper to hang on your refrigerator. You can create your board online - call it "My Dream" or Your Solstice Celebration. Collect the pictures you want on the internet that represent your dream or what you plan to do to achieve it. Resolve to look at it every morning and every evening for the next 6-12 months. And the last piece of advice: once you have performed any of these rituals, imagine your dreams very clearly on next year. Make this visualization very real and imagine that it has already happened in the present moment. Rituals are a powerful tool to inspire and motivate you to follow your dreams. You can even spend an evening writing down what is working in your life today and what you are grateful for. Express your gratitude for all the good things in your life right now. Start by being thankful for the eyes that see and read this, the computer and the internet that got you here, the fingers that typed into the search bar, the roof over your head that protects you from the weather and the cold, etc. Start thinking about your Solstice ritual today. These rituals help you to Restart your life. They serve as a marker to move on to the new by clearing your head and allowing yourself to move in a new direction. Believe in your future, as the ancient people firmly believed that after winter, spring would come and the sun would return warmly. Eat your dinner with the whole family by candlelight. Happy pre-holiday chores!

The day of the winter solstice has long been considered an energetically strong period. Our ancestors believed that at this time you can easily attract positive changes, material wealth and prosperity into your life.

The winter solstice is the longest night of the year. The sun occupies the lowest point above the horizon and illuminates the sky for a minimum number of hours. This is the turning point of winter: after the Solstice, daylight begins to increase, and the hours of darkness gradually subside.

Almost all nations believed in the mystical power of this time. It was believed that the Solstice marks the rebirth and renewal, and the subsequent addition of daylight hours - the victory of light over darkness. The longest night of the year was always met in a special way: various folk holidays. For example, the Celts at that time celebrated Yule - an analogue of our New Year. Slavs on the day of the Solstice revered Karachun - the lord of winter, the deity of darkness and cold. According to Slavic beliefs, at this time darkness overcomes light, but with the onset of morning everything ends happily: the temporary “defeat” of the Sun is followed by the victory of light and the renewal of the world. The day begins to increase, the night to decrease, and good triumphs over evil.

In all cultures, the time of the winter solstice was considered the most favorable for various rites and rituals. The energy of renewal and transition from darkness to light contributes to getting rid of everything unnecessary and attracting what is desired. Many ancient rituals can be used now - after all, over time, the power of the longest night of the year has not decreased, and people, as before, have a desire to change themselves and their lives for the better.

Ritual for getting rid of problems

Considering the fact that the Solstice occurs shortly before the New Year, the rite to get rid of problems is especially relevant. After all, everyone wants to enter a new stage of life, leaving difficulties and failures behind. On the longest night, this is possible: the energy message sent to the Universe during the ritual will be a reliable help in solving problems.

The ceremony should be performed in solitude, after sunset. Light a candle, and while looking at it, think about the problems that you would like to get rid of. Say these words:

“I drive away the darkness with fire, I save myself from oppression. The night will pass - it will take my problems with it. As the day increases, so my life will be filled with happiness. To be this"

After that, put the candle in a safe place. Let it burn for some more time. Before going to bed, extinguish the flame and complete the ritual with the words: “Everything that you wish (a) will come true”

Ritual for good luck on the day of the Solstice

Often a little bit of luck is not enough to achieve the goal. You can attract the location of Fortune to yourself and help ensure that all undertakings develop successfully, with the help of a ritual on the day of the winter Solstice.

For the rite of luck, you will need a glass of drinking water. Prepare it before sunset and place it next to the window. After evening comes, speak the water as follows:

“Water has absorbed the power of the Sun, it will give it to me. The sun will shine more - my luck will come. The night is waning - failures away"

The charmed water should be drunk immediately after the ritual.

Ritual to attract financial well-being

A simple ritual on the day of the Solstice will help to attract financial flows and material well-being. To do this, you need a few coins or banknotes (the denomination is unimportant) and a mirror. After the Sun disappears behind the horizon, put the money in front of the mirror and, peering into their reflection, say the plot:

“As a mirror increases money, so I will have more of them. As the day goes on increasing, so the profit will grow. The sun will rise - my request will be fulfilled. Key - lock - tongue. Amen"

After such a ceremony, the financial situation will begin to gradually change in better side and work will be more productive and easier.

Rituals are especially effective at such an energetically saturated time as the day of the Solstice. Therefore, do not miss the chance to experience their beneficial effects on yourself - after all, such a period happens only twice a year. We wish you success and prosperity, and do not forget to press the buttons and

Spring is a time when any energy becomes extremely unstable. Most people on this ground...

The calendar we are used to says that the year begins on the first of January and is divided into 12 months. But nature has its own laws, which, unfortunately, are poorly coordinated with astronomy. However, our ancestors knew and honored the laws of nature. The most important holiday in the annual cycle was the winter solstice - when will it be in 2019 and what practices are recommended for everyone? Read the details in this article.

What happens on this day?

First of all, let's figure out what the winter solstice is. On this day we can observe the longest night and the shortest day of the year. Magic time, isn't it? Our ancestors did not doubt it.

Holiday dates:

• December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere (these are all countries above the equator);
• June 20 or 21 - in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, most countries of Latin America, etc.).

The exact date depends on the year, it's all about the calendar shift due to leap years.

In 2019, the winter solstice will occur on December 22 at 07:19 am Moscow time. If you live in another region, you can calculate the time yourself, knowing Moscow.

On this day, the Sun reaches its lowest position. Further, at the end of December and January, it rises higher above the horizon, making daylight hours longer.

In astrology, on this day the Sun moves from the zodiac sign Sagittarius to the sign Capricorn, and the astrological winter begins (the period of the signs Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces).

Since Capricorn is associated with planning, at this time it is advisable to think over and write down goals for the coming year. Consider what is really important to you and what you want to get rid of.

Our ancestors saw the solstice as a time of rebirth, hope, and a joyful start on the path to solar abundance.

Some call the holiday the winter equinox. However, this is not true. The equinox occurs in spring and autumn, in March and September, when day equals night. And in winter and summer - solstices.

Winter Solstice Festival in different cultures

Our distant ancestors were guided by natural phenomena and the movement of the Sun when calculating time periods. The winter solstice point was significant for the construction of such historical structures as:

• Stonehenge in the UK;
• Newgrange in Ireland.

Their main axes are oriented to sunrise and sunset on the solstices.

Ancient Roman Saturnalia

AT Ancient Rome On the days of the solstice, the festival of Saturnalia was celebrated in honor of the god Saturn. The celebration lasted from 17 to 23 December. By this time, all agricultural efforts were completed. And people could indulge in celebration and fun.

It was customary to temporarily stop public affairs, send schoolchildren on vacation. It was even forbidden to punish criminals.

Slaves sat at the same table with the masters and were freed from daily work. There was a symbolic equalization of rights.

Crowds of celebrating walked in the streets. Everyone praised Saturn. On the days of Saturnalia, a pig was slaughtered as a sacrifice, and then they began to have fun. There was a tradition of gift exchange, which later moved to the modern Christmas and New Year.

Yule among the ancient Germans

This is a medieval holiday, one of the main ones of the year. It was celebrated with great pomp. The word "yule" was called the longest night of the year, which fell on the winter solstice.

It was believed that on this day the King of Oak was reborn, he warmed the frozen earth and gave life to the seeds in the soil, which were stored for a long winter, so that by spring they would germinate and give a harvest.

People kindled fires in the fields. It was customary to drink the alcoholic drink cider. Children went from house to house with gifts. Baskets were woven from the branches of evergreens and ears of wheat, and apples and cloves were folded into them, which were sprinkled with flour.

Apples are a symbol of the sun and immortality, and wheat is a symbol of a good harvest. Flour meant light and success.

The houses were also decorated with branches of trees: ivy, holly, mistletoe. It was believed that this helps to call the spirits of nature to join the holiday. Spirits could bestow happy life household members.

On the holiday of Yule, the burning of a ritual log, the decoration of the Yule tree (the prototype of the New Year tree) and the exchange of gifts were carried out. The image of a log has been preserved in many countries to this day.

Holiday in Christianity

In Christianity, Christmas is celebrated these days. In the Catholic tradition, it comes on December 24, when the Sun, after passing its lowest point, is “reborn” again and rises higher.

It is believed that when Christianity replaced paganism, the new Christian holidays merged with pagan ones. So Christmas appeared in its modern form with a decorated Christmas tree and gifts for relatives and friends. Indeed, in fact, this is the celebration of the birth of Christ, but it is celebrated very similarly to the medieval Yule.

In Orthodoxy, in connection with the use julian calendar the date is 2 weeks behind the solstice, Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th. However, historically it is the same date. It's just that over the course of two thousand years, the solstice point has shifted by half a month.

Holiday in Slavic culture

The Slavs celebrated the day of Karachun, the harsh deity of winter. They believed that Karachun brings winter cold to the earth, plunging nature into a winter sleep.

Another name for the deity is Korochun, which means "the shortest." The winter solstice preceded the rebirth of the Sun.

Bonfires were burned everywhere, which were designed to help the Sun triumph over death and be reborn. After Karachun, the nights were waning, and the daylight hours were getting longer.

Subsequently, this deity turned into Frost - a gray-haired old man, from whose breath bitter frosts begin, and rivers are covered with ice. The Slavs believed that if Frost hit a hut with a staff, the logs would crack.

Frost does not like those who are afraid of him and hide, complain about the cold and quickly get cold. But for those who are not afraid of him, he gives rosy cheeks, strength of mind and good mood. This is reflected in the fairy tale "Morozko".

According to the magicians, any conspiracies operate on the day of the solstice, even those that people come up with on their own.

Trouble conspiracy

Fasten another piece of good wishes over the mirror, which is the largest in the house. Then, daily for 12 days in a row, read the following plot in the morning and evening:

Ritual for the fulfillment of desires

Solstice is the celebration of the new sun, the day when wishes are made. Rituals are held not only on December 22, but also on December 23, 24 or 25. Let me remind you that in 2017 the solstice coincided with Mercury retrograde, which means that you need to be careful with the choice of desires. You can not guess everything that is connected with relationships, love. Mercury is an insidious planet, any magical actions backfire.
There are no prohibitions for other desires of the worldly plane. To help - a conspiracy to desire, held on the day of the solstice, it will help to fulfill the plan.

For a ritual to fulfill a dream, you will need: candles, loose attire, a candlestick, live fire (matches will do). Take a wax church candle, a thick one will not work, only a thin one.

How to make a wish correctly: a technique

The ritual of guessing is performed before going to bed, so that after it there is nothing else to do, but to go and go to bed. Before the action, put on a loose dress or a long tunic made of natural fabric. If there is no such clothes in the wardrobe, then a cotton sheet tied in a knot on the shoulder will do. Retire to a separate room.

Sit on a chair, in an armchair or on the floor in the lotus position.

Light a candle. Look through the fire and try to defocus your eyes. Let your mind relax. Your gaze should be misty, as if passing through fire.

Imagine the state that you will experience when you get what you dream of. Create a state of happiness within yourself. Hold it. Rejoice. Catch a feeling of joy and happiness in the body, as if you own what you dream of. Concentrate on this feeling. And then quickly, clearly, with energy in your voice, ask for what you want. While looking directly at the flame of the candle.

Keep looking at the fire until the candle burns out. Wait for the last spark, after that you can consider the ritual over, go to bed.

Ritual to protect the house

The energy of the solstice can be used to create protection for your home. Not only private houses and cottages need protection, but also urban-type apartments. You may need to clean your living space before installing home protection. You can do it yourself. But, if you want a 100% result, use the help of specialists, especially if “guests” from another world live in the house.

Have you ever thought that someone else lives in your apartment with you. Yes, it can be relatives, husband or wife, children, parents, friend or girlfriend. But besides them, something else, absolutely different, inhuman, invisible, shares the same space with you...

A conspiracy to protect a home will work more effectively if the living space is clean, it does not contain negativity and alluvial destructive programs. Attention, when we talk about the cleanliness of the apartment and house, we do not mean physical cleanliness, clean floors, shelves and order, in this case we are talking about something else, about the energy cleanliness of the home.

When it comes to the cleanliness of an apartment or house, it most often means the need or lack thereof for thorough cleaning and maintaining order in the living quarters. But, as practice shows, this is not always sufficient for normal family relations, well-being, monetary ...

So, the house is cleaned, cleanliness and order reign in every room on the physical, energy and subtle levels. Start performing the ritual.

Protective charms gain additional strength if the ceremony is performed on the solstice. The days of the full moon, the spring or autumn equinoxes are also suitable for this action.

What is required for a protective ritual: rowan wood, red threads, red natural fabric, dry herbs: St. John's wort, basil, anise. Stones can also be prepared: turquoise, agate.

A rowan branch is suitable as a tree, it is better that it be thick and not very long.

Take a piece of red cloth, spread it on the table. Place rowan, dry herbs and stones in it. Wrap everything carefully and tie with red thread. In this case, you should say 7 times:

As you say these words, tie one knot each time. The result is a bundle tied into 7 knots. The protective amulet for the house is ready, keep it in a secluded place.

How to make a wish on the solstice

There is another row simple rituals associated with the material plane, which are carried out at the solstice.

• Take a clean white sheet of paper, write your desire on it with red ink. Roll 7 times and lay close to the body. Women can put it in a bra, and men in a breast pocket on a shirt. Carry the sheet with you always until your plan is fulfilled, and put it under your pillow at night.
• On the night of the solstice, write a wish on a piece of paper. Burn it and scatter the ashes to the wind.
• Take a piece of paper and write one wish on it. The leaf must be small so that it can enter the inside of the balloon. Inflate the balloon, say the plan again and release it into the sky. In order for the balloon to fly better, you can fill it with helium.
• Before going to bed, calm down and relax. Close your eyes. Try to enter into a calm state at the level of meditation. Mentally say or whisper the request three times and immerse yourself in meditation. At the end of it, you should fall asleep. If everything happened as it should, then the wish will quickly come true, since your consciousness enters the alpha state, thanks to which the ritual has power.

Ritual for healing

The day of the solstice is great for healing from ailments, rituals for the acquisition of strength and wisdom. You need to prepare for it ahead of time. To do this, spend several cleaning sessions. You must also do the practice of Forgiveness, more about it was in this article:

Along with the spiritual and energy cleansing you should visit the bathhouse or take a shower to thoroughly wash the body.

Before performing a ritual for healing or gaining strength, prepare the necessary attributes for it. You will need 4 candles (paraffin will do), 2-3 incense sticks, dried flowers and herbs of St. John's wort, wormwood, basil and juniper. Still need aromatic oils of rosemary and pine.

Astrology

The astrological transition of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn will occur December 21, 2017 at 07:28 pmby Moscow time. Capricorn is a sign closely associated with career prospects, unapproachable peaks, long-term prospects, ascetics and directors.

Capricorn jumps on sheer cliffs, not at all embarrassed by gorges, landslides, or the absence of a direct road to the goal. Capricorn is perhaps the most vigorous hybrid of a materialist and an idealist in the entire Zodiac. All material planes all jumps from cliff to cliff necessarily have a specific idea behind them that warms Capricorn.

So we need to find between the material and the spiritual these days. You should not focus only on the ideal component of your projects, that is, dreams. It is impossible and headlong into monetization and profit, losing sight of the dream.
If you plan projects for the next year, then taking into account pragmatic earthly moods - with a financial plan and clear steps to achieve. This is not a reason to deny yourself a dream. It is only important to understand the first step that you will take to achieve it. And do it after the Solstice.

This solstice can have a transformative effect on people whose significant chart indicators are in the third decade of mutable signs (Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces). Now their fate may change course. It is especially important for them to be conscious and honest with themselves and others so that the turn turns out to be good.

Most of the strength and attention is worth spending on completing and closing the old one. Before the Solstice, it is better not to conceive or discuss new projects. You have to give them time to mature. Evaluate what occupies your strength and energy - whether actions, whether relationships, reading a tape in in social networks. Assess if it benefits you. Ask yourself the question honestly and answer it honestly.

This is a great time to get your finances and relationships in order. For example, closing ties with other people, holding final negotiations, repaying debts of any kind. So the entrance to the New Year will be much easier, and there will be more inspiring events in it.
