Magical Dark Nights: Your preparation for the mystical rough nights

Magical Dark Nights: Your preparation for the mystical rough nights

Have you ever heard of the dark nights? They herald the deepest shadows of the year, starting on December 9th this year. These special days lead you to the winter solstice on December 22nd. It is a time to pause, reflect and let go to make room for something new. Immediately afterwards (from December 25th to January 6th), the Rauhnächte offer you a unique opportunity to manifest your dreams and hopes for the coming year.

Our ancestors firmly believed that during the rough nights the borders to other worlds are more permeable. Each of these mystical nights symbolizes a month of the upcoming year. In contrast, the dark nights are your chance to review the past year, reflect and leave behind what is no longer part of you.

The winter solstice, the longest night of the year, marks a turning point. For our nature-loving ancestors, this was a moment of pivotal importance. The dark nights were used to prepare for the cold season and the spiritual rough nights.

Are you ready to delve deeper into these spiritual traditions? The workshop "Spirituality and Rough Nights" offers you a well-founded introduction and valuable tools for this special time.

Some tips to get the most out of this time:

  • Year in Review : Browse your photos and memories to relive the past year in your mind.
  • Meditative evenings : The darkness of the dark nights provides the perfect setting for meditation to connect deeply with yourself.
  • Clean up : Both physically and mentally. Make space in your home and in your heart.
  • Create a sacred space : Reserve a spot for candles, healing stones, and other spiritual items that are important to you during this time.

Prepare for the rough nights with the dark nights and start the new year energetic and focused.

If you would like support for this special time, I offer it to you in this year's 3-part workshop Dark Nights & Rough Nights - Manifest Your 2024
