Another deity known for her presence during the Winter solstice is La Befana, also known as the Christmas witch. She hails from Italian folklore and arrives at the hinge of the year — the deep night before the light’s return.
In her cracked boots and soot-dusted shawl, she is another deity that embodies the power of the Crone: release, wisdom, and fiercely protective love.
During the Winter Solstice, she can sweep away what weighs you down and leave the quiet gifts of intuition, clarity, and rebirth in your hands.
La Befana teaches:
To tend to your magic daily
Protect yourself and your home
To move away stagnant energy
La Befana’s broom isn’t just for sweeping floors — it symbolizes clearing stagnant energies, emotional heaviness, and lingering grief. Work with her energy to help you release and equally refresh your energy. Allow her to move you through transitions and access blessings of growth.
