December Solstice a Long Day 12: Celebration!

Good Day! And Welcome to Day 12! 

Twelfth night!  New Year’s Eve!  Traditional parties work well here, but a more spiritual aspect can be observed either quickly at home or as part of the party!  Activities include divination (so placement of runes or other divination tools on the altar).  There’s also a suggestion I quite like from the Matthews’ book to gather juniper (if it wasn’t gathered on Day 9) and letting it dry by the fire (or wherever that is in a modern home) for use to bless the home tomorrow.  In addition, we burn the yule log, wreath, or whatever, at midnight as we ring in the new year (weather permitting). 

While it is New Year’s in the South, also, one could celebrate Twelfth Day, with a picnic or other similar activities. 

The next day, January 1.  Take down all the stuff and cleanse the residence by aspersing with the greenery from day 9 using melted snow or rain from day 8! 

I thank you for joining me in this rite, and hopefully the offerings given, and the blessings received flow out from us all, to bless the entire world.   And please join me for the March Equinox devotionals!
