Rough Nights
Category : Here & Now
Some inspirations in preparation of the Rough Nights
We can use this dark season for us to reflect, to introspect and to find our silence. The gates to all dimensions are open at this time, to angels, spirits, demons and ancestors. You can use the time between the years to focus on the essentials for the coming year or to get in touch with ancestors. Bad habits can be discarded and our destiny can be changed by our own initiative.
In the Rough Nights, the wheels are known to stand still. So you can already do certain errands in the time before December 21, such as:
- Tidy up (closet & shoe closets & clean out children’s room, etc.),
- pay bills & settle debts,
- return borrowed items,
- cut fingernails and toenails and trim hair & beard,
- sew on buttons,
- keep promises,
- do laundry (since during the nights of incense the laundry wheel also stands still)
However, you should also remain realistic. What can actually be done this year? You should try to start from scratch and create a calm atmosphere without legacy issues.
Errands
The following things are needed during the Rough Nights:
- DINA 5 (ring) book or notebook (for notes during the Rough Nights but also during the coming year),
- tarot cards,
- incense, incense mixtures & charcoal,
- a few nice little pieces of paper (e.g. for the 13 wishes, but also for other rituals to use),
- nice candles,
- 4 grave candles,
- pumpkin seeds (for symbolic planting of the wishes)
The listed materials are needed for ceremonies during the Rough Nights.
Reflection before the start of the Rough Nights
Some questions should already have been dealt with before the Rough Nights. You can already write down the answers in the ring binder or notebook.
You should have already answered the following questions:
What do I want to let go
1.) What do I not want to take with me into the new year?
2.) What have I been grateful for this year?
3.) Who will stay in 2021 and not come to me in 2022?
The listed materials are needed for ceremonies during the Rough Nights.
What do I want to achieve this year or what values are important to me?
1.) What are my overall goals?
2.) What are my concrete goals (4 goals)?
From the 4 concrete goals you can then derive or create the 13 wishes for the Rough Nights.
The resulting 13 wishes can already be written down in the notebook. They can be changed later before the Rough Nights if you have slept a few nights over it.
Enjoy your reflection for next year!
