KOSMOS eBooklet: Winter Solstice

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects us with the forces of natural rhythms. Smudging at the winter solstice, in early spring at Candlemas, or in midsummer at St. John's Day, gives us energy and brings us to our center - we detach ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

January is still a month of transition. But by early February, the change in nature becomes clear. It is a time of upheaval or new beginnings and purification. Thus, forces for change and a new beginning are now available to us. We can use the renewing quality of early spring in many ways: for example, for external and internal awakening, for inspiration or for clarity about the direction the current year might lead us. This allows emotional and creative seeds that are germinating within us to grow and thrive.

With a description of Celtic-Germanic and Christian roots, tips for celebrating the annual cycle festival in a modern way, and examples of suitable incense materials.
