The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Celebrated around the globe, the Winter Solstice represents reflection, rebirth, celebration and rituals. It's special. It's a beautiful time for refresh surrounding the change of seasons and is a very special time to learn about traditions and rituals around the planet, and infuse them into your own.

NATURE REMEMBERS WHAT WE HUMANS HAVE FORGOTTEN :

EVERY CYCLE MUST RETURN TO STILLNESS, SILENCE, THE DARK.

EVERY EXHALE REQUIRES AN INHALE.

EVERY OUTER ENDEAVOR TURNS BACK INWARD TO ITS ORIGINS, ITS CENTER AND BEGINS AGAIN.

FROM DEATH COMES NEW LIFE, AND FROM THE DARKEST NIGHT, THE NEW DAWN IS BORN.

I'm looking forward to incorporating crystals into my Winter Solstice rituals this year and I wanted to share why I'll be incorporating these specific stones.

1. SUPER SEVEN

The stone of personal ascension, Super Seven is a fusion of seven gemstones naturally occurring together : amethyst, quartz, smokey quartz, cacoxenite, rutile, goethite, lepidocrocite. It holds the properties of all 7 stones.

I'll be utilizing this during my rituals to set intentions of positivity, balance, guidance, inspiration, and calm yet active energy.

I truly hope that this has been a resource for you, and that it sparks new ideas of habits, practices and rituals that you can turn to to ground when you feel pulled in different directions. I speak of grounding often in my Livestream Classes, on the MoonRise Channel and in my weekly free Sunday Self Care Journal. If you have any questions at all, you can Email Me or DM on Instagram. Have fun and patience with your grounding practices. It takes time but I promise that whenever you spend time on it, it truly makes a significant difference.
