Mother's Night

Tonight marks the first night of the Yule celebration. Mother's Night (Modraniht), the first night of Yule comes the night before the winter solstice which starts at 10:03 am Sunday Dec 21st, 2025. It is a Norse-inspired tradition honoring female ancestors, protective female spirits (Dísir), and goddesses like F***g, marked by lighting candles to guide them, sharing stories of female lineage, offering food, and dedicating the night to the women who nurture and protect family, welcoming blessings for the new year.

Core Traditions & Rituals

Honoring Women: Focuses on the divine feminine, maternal figures, and female ancestors (Dísir).

Lighting Candles: A candle is lit at dusk and burns through the night to welcome the Dísir and guide them, often placed on an altar with family photos.
Storytelling: Families share stories and memories of grandmothers, mothers, and female relatives to keep their legacies alive.

Offerings: Food, drink (libations), or crafted items are offered to the Dísir and goddesses.

Feasting: A special meal is shared, sometimes with a place set for the ancestors.

Blessings: A time for the ancestral mothers to bless the family, especially expectant mothers, for the coming year.

Key Figures Honored

Dísir: Protective female ancestral spirits.
F***g/F***ga: Queen Mother Goddess.
Freyja (as Vanadis): Goddess of love, fertility, and protector of ancestors.

How to Celebrate

Start at Dusk: Begin rituals as the sun sets on the Winter Solstice.

Create an Altar: Set up a space with candles, photos, and meaningful items for your female ancestors.

Bake/Cook: Prepare special foods, perhaps traditional family recipes, as offerings or for the feast.

Recite Prayers/Toasts: Offer prayers or toasts to the mothers and goddesses

Stay Up Late: Some stay up all night sharing stories to maximize time with the spirits.

This night is ruled over by the woman of the house who stands for all the womanly wights that care for their kin.

Let's find her a furever home💜

This shelter dog has spent 3 years curled up in a kennel, waiting to be chosen 🥺

Every day, she curls up with her little carrot toy, hoping today is the day someone finally sees her. She doesn’t bark for attention. She doesn’t push to the front. She just waits… quietly, gently, heartbreakingly.

Three years of watching other dogs leave.
Three years of wondering why no one picks her.
Three years of falling asleep on the same cot, dreaming of a home she’s never had.

She has so much love saved up for the person who finally chooses her.

Please share her story.
Her forever family is out there — she just needs help being found. 💛

Good Monday morning my lovelies. I wanted to share this thought for the day

Beloved witches and moonlit wanderers, gather close.... because today I want to tell you a winter story.

After Krampus has rattled his chains through the early December nights,
the Alpine villages say another figure begins her slow, deliberate walk
through the deepening dark.

Frau Perchta.
The Winter Mother.
The Bright One.
The lady who wanders between the worlds when the snow lies heavy
and the year stands on its last trembling edge.

In some tales she appears as a shining woman in white,
her cloak crisp as frost and her face lit like moon on snow.
In others she’s a stern winter witch,
sharp-eyed, wild-haired,
with a spindle in her hand and a host of spirits at her back.
Children were warned to keep their promises,
adults to finish their work,
and everyone to keep their hearth in good order...
for Perchta sees everything,
and winter gives her nothing to hide behind.

But behind the dramatic stories lies something far more timeless:
Perchta is the spirit of winter alignment.
She is the force that walks the quiet rooms of the soul,
checking the loose threads, the broken vows, the neglected corners
of both home and heart.

And for modern witches, her energy feels like a whisper at the door:

What needs to be completed before the year turns?
What truth needs owning?
What boundary needs mending?
What part of your life wants to be shaped back into integrity?

Where Krampus brings the wild shadow,
Perchta brings the winter reckoning.
It's not cruel... it's just... honest.

Her story invites us to tend what’s unfinished,
to clear what’s stagnant,
and to step into the new year with our threads clean and strong.

May her winter wisdom steady your steps this season,
and may your path be lit by the Bright One’s quiet light.

❄️
Luv 🖤
Baba
