Winter Solstice Blessings

~Winter Solstice Blessings~

In the depths of winter, when the world grows quiet and cold, the Winter Witch emerges. She’s the ancient crone of the frost, the Cailleach who guards the seeds of the coming year.

The Winter Solstice marks the astronomical turning point of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. This longest night of the year is the time to conserve your energy and align with the energy of the earth.

To celebrate you could light some candles, bring some fallen evergreen branches in to decorate your altar or hearth or simply sit and connect with the earth and your self. Call in visions of how you want the coming year to look. What will you need to do to prepare for it?

Today I’m using my Winter Witch oil. It’s a blend of frosted peppermint, evergreen trees and roasted marshmallows.

I created it to honor this beautiful season and to help you find your inner fire when the world feels cold.
