The 13 Wishes Ritual ✨
A sacred practice to release, receive, and consciously co-create with the Universe.
Between December 21 and January 2 lies an ancient, sacred window known as The 12 Magical Nights Across European folk traditions, these nights were believed to sit outside of time—a liminal space where the veil thins, intuition sharpens, and the coming year can be gently shaped through intention.
Each night corresponds to one month of the year ahead, making this a powerful opportunity to listen, release, and consciously plant seeds for what’s to come
What you’ll need:
A candle
A notebook or small stack of paper
A quiet moment each
Step 1: Prepare your wishes
Write 13 wishes or intentions, each on its own piece of paper.
These must be only about you—your healing, desires, growth, and needs.
Fold each paper and place them together in a bowl or cup.
Step 2: Begin on December 21
Each night for 12 nights, light a candle.
Randomly choose one folded paper—do not open it.
Step 3: Release it
Center yourself. Breathe deeply.
Burn the paper safely, knowing you are releasing this wish to the Universe to be fulfilled in divine timing.
Step 4: Repeat
Continue this ritual each night, trusting that what is meant for you is already in motion.
Step 5: The 13th Night
On the final night, light a white candle or your favorite incense.
Take the last remaining paper, open it, and read it aloud.
Do not burn this one.
This wish is yours to act on.
The Universe will support you—but you are the creator here.
Step 6: Honor the journey
Keep a full list of your wishes in a safe place.
Return to them throughout the year to reflect, give thanks, and witness what unfolds.
✨ Trust the magic.
✨ Trust yourself.
✨ The Universe is walking with you every step of the way.
