Dear Ones! Happy Yule! I’ve got so many delicious Solstice treats for you in this letter. Have a look below.

Winter Witch by Natalia Mikhalchuk. (You can get the greeting card!)

First of all, if you want to go deep into the pagan meaning of Solstice…

… I wrote a big ol’ essay about it here. Note, the essay also includes ritual suggestions, and directions for writing a Solstice letter to yourself (one of my favorite holiday traditions!)

Another great way to get into the festive season is to listen to the Winter Solstice episode of my podcast…

… (co-created with producer Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs). Put it on while you’re making gingerbread or taking a spin around a snowy lake. (Or sunbathing at the beach if you’re in LA).

Next up, subscribers scroll down to get your Capricorn Season Witch Guide! It includes:

  • A “framing essay” to give you some themes to contemplate for Capricorn Season

  • Journal prompts for this month designed to inspire you to think about this season’s themes and how they apply in your life and in the world around you

  • A tarot spread

  • A ritual to help you empower yourself around Capricorn-related issues related to time, legacy, history, ancestors and descendants

  • A 9-minute somatic meditation you can use whenever you want to ground and call upon the stable, sturdy spirit of Capricorn.

  • Ecology, creativity, and community practice prompts

  • Suggestions for your Book of Shadows and MORE! To get a copy of the Witch Guide, become a subscriber today!

We will be setting up your Book of Shadows (BOS) to prepare you for the coming year. A powerful creative act, blessing and creating your BOS on Solstice will charge and amplify every spell you write in it for the rest of the year!
