🌑 WINTER SOLSTICE & HOLIDAYS
What NOT to Do — Slavic Folk Magick 🌲🔥
In Slavic tradition, the days around the Winter Solstice (Koliada) are a threshold between years, when words, actions, and intentions shape the fate of the months ahead.
Avoid these during Solstice & the Winter Holidays:
❌ Do not argue, curse, or speak harshly
❌ Do not cry excessively or mourn loudly
❌ Do not lend money, salt, food, or fire
❌ Do not sweep or throw trash outside at night
❌ Do not cut hair or nails on Solstice Day
❌ Do not leave mirrors uncovered at night
❌ Do not kill animals unnecessarily
❌ Do not mock old rituals or sacred symbols
❌ Do not go to sleep angry or unreconciled
❌ Do not refuse carolers or sacred guests
❌ Do not make irreversible promises or vows
❌ Do not isolate yourself completely
🕯️ Why?
Because this is a liminal time — what you lose, give away, or speak now is believed to repeat throughout the coming year.
✨ Keep peace in words.
✨ Protect the hearth and the home.
✨ Honor ancestors and old ways.
✨ Set intentions, not burdens.
🌲🔥 As the Sun is reborn, so is your path.
