  • Winter Solstice – Yule, cultivating your inner source of light, time to dream into the new year, celebrating the light within, show appreciation for those who support you during your time of need
  • Winter can bring up unresolved feelings if you haven’t prepared + slowed down.
  • Use the dark (nourishing) times to tap into your creativity and open up to dreaming
  • Connection during the early part of the year can be light and fun, and in the later half they need to be deeper, richer, more intimate
  • The “Omen Days” – go outside first 12 days, and look for a sign (oracle reading). Each day corresponds with a month of the year.
  • Imbolc – Live each day + year as an act of magic
PART II: ACTIONS STEPS
    1. Set the intention for each of the “Omen Days”
      “Show me what I need to know for the month of ____?”
      I.E.
      First day = January
      Second day = February
      Third day = March

Take a moment to go out side and what’s the first thing you see.
Don’t make it hard or difficult. You’ll know when you see it. It’ll resonate inside for you and feel complete.

    1. Ask “Let’s see what this means?”You can use this technique anytime of year to ask and receive an answer to any question you have.
    2. Get Allison’s guide below and start paying attention as each holiday approaches. Notice the energy as February comes, decide what you want to commit to this year.

The Sacred Wheel Overview and reference guide has everything you need to get started. It includes a full page layout on each holiday, including when to celebrate and some fun ritual ideas for making the most out of each day.
