I say this with love and laughter because I had to give myself this advice.

Winter Solstice 🌑

The longest night of the year
when the Sun reaches its lowest point
and the world grows quiet.

Across cultures and time, this night has been honored
not with fear
but with candles, prayer, and trust.

A reminder that light is never lost,
only resting.

From here, the days slowly grow brighter. And so do we.

May we honor what has ended,
tend what is quietly beginning,
and hold the light gently through the dark.

So mote it be. ✨

Excellence is not a talent issue, it is a consistency issue.

Most people know what to do, they just do not do it long enough.

They show up when it feels good and disappear when it feels hard.

That pattern guarantees average results.

Winning is built on repetition, not motivation.

The grind you avoid is the grind that would change everything.

Consistency is boring, uncomfortable, and brutally effective.

Do the work even when it feels pointless.

That is how average gets left behind.👊🔥

“Blood may be thicker than water, but still waters run deep.”

Family trauma can significantly impact both mental and physical health across a lifespan.

Traumatic experiences and toxic relationships can lead to a range of issues, including mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as physical health problems such as heart disease, chronic lung issues, autoimmune conditions and even cancer.

These effects can not only be long lasting (even lasting the person’s entire life) but can also be passed down through generations.

Toxic relationships are inherently stressful. The constant negativity, manipulation, lack of support, etc. activate the body’s stress response, also known as the “fight or flight” response. This response releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline and when these levels remain elevated for too long they lead to a majority of the debilitating and deadly health effects listed above.

Chronic stress from these toxic relationships also elevated blood pressure and increases the risk of heart disease.

These toxic relationships can also suppress the immune system, making individuals much more vulnerable to illness and cancers.

These relationships also typically disrupt sleep patters, leading to insomnia or sleep disorders. This disrupted sleep also contributes to chronic illness.

Furthermore, the stress from these relationships can even manifest as chronic physical pain in the body (typically headaches and muscle tension).

It does not matter your personal relationship with a toxic individual - you must take care of yourself by creating clear boundaries or, in some cases, estrangement may be the only way to save yourself. Whatever you must do, do it.

🔥This is where love is no longer imagined, but consciously chosen.

On December 22, 2025, Venus conjuncts Juno at 27° Sagittarius, while forming a square to Saturn, bringing relationships into a moment of honest alignment and karmic accountability. This energy asks you to apply the wisdom you’ve gained rather than repeat what once hurt, grounding devotion in maturity, clarity, and self-respect. Fantasies are tested not to disappoint you, but to reveal whether a connection can meet you with integrity, emotional responsibility, and shared values. Karmic relationships may resurface as a final review, not to pull you backward, but to show you how much you’ve grown. From this place, commitment becomes a conscious choice rooted in truth, stability, and readiness.

Beloved witch,

Tomorrow, the longest night arrives.

The Winter Solstice. Yule. The moment when darkness holds its deepest breath... and then, slowly, the light begins its return.

And with it begins something ancient and sacred:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝘂𝗹𝗲.

From the Solstice (December 21st) through New Year's Day (January 1st), we walk through liminal time. The veil is thin. The spirits are close. Dreams carry messages. What you do during these twelve nights echoes through the twelve months ahead.

𝗦𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗬𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

May your fires burn bright through the longest night.

May you release what no longer serves with grace and finality.

May you welcome the returning sun with open hands and hopeful heart.

May the darkness teach you its wisdom before the light returns.

May your home be protected, your spirit be renewed, and your magick be powerful.

May you remember: you are part of an ancient lineage of people who kept the flame alive, who honored the wheel's turning, who survived the dark and celebrated the light.

𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗬𝘂𝗹𝗲, 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

⋅⋅⋅──────⋅✤⋅──────⋅⋅⋅

𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.

In the old traditions, people burned massive Yule logs that would smolder for all twelve days. They kept fires going continuously. They left elaborate offerings. They followed intricate customs passed down through generations.

And I love that. I respect that deeply.

But here's what I'm tired of:

𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗧.

Like, seriously... are you going to drag a full-sized oak log into your apartment and keep it burning for twelve days?

No? Then you're already adapting the tradition.

Are you going to slaughter a boar for your feast?

Keep a bonfire going all night in your suburban backyard?

Wake at 4am every single morning for elaborate dawn rituals?

𝗢𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

And... alas, that's not disrespectful. I call it evolution.

The spirit of the tradition matters more than rigid adherence to practices that no longer fit our lives.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝘀:

✨ Honoring the turning of the wheel in whatever way feels true to you
✨ Marking the return of the light with intention and reverence
✨ Working with the liminal energy of these twelve nights
✨ Staying connected to the season, the cycles, the magick

So yes, you can light one candle instead of a bonfire.

Yes, you can do a five-minute ritual instead of an all-night vigil.

Yes, you can adapt, blend, modernize... and still be practicing 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 magick.

The ancestors understood adaptation, and they'd want you to survive and thrive.

⋅⋅⋅──────⋅✤⋅──────⋅⋅⋅

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

✅ 𝗗𝗼 set intentions for the year ahead... each night can represent a month

✅ 𝗗𝗼 pay attention to your dreams... they're especially prophetic now

✅ 𝗗𝗼 keep your home spiritually clean and protected (the veil is thin)

✅ 𝗗𝗼 light candles, burn incense, keep some kind of flame going when you can

✅ 𝗗𝗼 leave small offerings if you work with spirits or deities

❌ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 do major banishing work (save that for after the twelve nights)

❌ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 start big new projects until after January 1st (liminal time is for dreaming and planning, not launching)

❌ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 ignore omens, signs, or synchronicities.... they're messages

❌ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 let your practice become a source of stress or guilt

⋅⋅⋅──────⋅✤⋅──────⋅⋅⋅

Tomorrow, the sun begins its return.

The light is coming back, beloved.

And you... you beautiful, resilient, adapting witch... you're going to walk through these twelve nights with intention, with magick, with your own unique practice.

And not because you're doing it "right."

But because you're doing it yours.

𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗬𝘂𝗹𝗲. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.

Let's make this sacred.

🕯️
Luv,
~ Baba
