The Twelve Nights of Yuletide were of huge importance in pagan and Nordic spiritual traditions long before these sacred days were incorporated into Christmas. The period after the solstice is still said to be a magical time when wishes come true. It is a time for introspection and contemplation. This practical guide assigns each Yuletide night to a month of the year that represents a particular topic or theme, including humility and devotion, truth and clarity, the power of the heart, and taking care of yourself. Spending each of the twelve nights (and each of the following days) immersed in its associated time quality will help you to stay focused, maintain inner awareness, and achieve stillness within. Suitable exercises and meditations are described in each chapter. Your personal Yuletide journal will be an essential additional tool. Guided by a set of questions for each night, you will learn to contemplate the past, establish clear desires for the future, and sense the signs and omens from the spirit world. Working with the transformational energy of Yuletide and the twelve holy nights is a ritual that can be repeated year after year, offering the reader a new understanding of this special time to create the future, make dreams come true, and live life to the fullest.
