Happy Winter Solstice!

Today is Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year, and honestly one of the most meaningful days on the witch’s calendar. Not because it’s dark… but because this is the exact moment everything begins tipping back toward the light.

Solstice literally translates to “sun standing still.” It’s the pause. The breath between cycles. The quiet moment before the returning light begins its slow climb.

And that’s why Day 2 of Witchmas is centered around rebirth + renewal.

Not the dramatic kind — not the “reinvent yourself overnight” nonsense the world tries to sell us. Solstice is about the small shift. The first spark... the tiniest reminder that you’re allowed to begin again, even if the road ahead still looks wintry.

And if you want to make the day feel meaningful in a simple, accessible way, I wrote a post on my blog with 7 Ways to Celebrate the Winter Solstice that walks through gentle ways to honor the season — things like lighting a candle for the returning light, making a simple feast, or taking a quiet moment outside.

Here’s my favorite tiny ritual for today:

Step outside for a moment and notice the sky.​
Feel the cold air on your face.
Take a few deep, slow breaths.
And ask yourself, “What wants to grow as the light returns?”
​Then journal out whatever bubbles up.

Nothing forced. Nothing performed. Just a little inner spark… enough to honor the turning of the wheel.

And that's how we celebrate day two... a small spark to welcome back the light, and a little clearing to make room for what’s ahead.

Today's gift is a Witchmas Playlist that is the perfect one for journaling, hanging out and enjoying solstice. It's warm and comforting, but also only instrumental, so it's super soothing.

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
