December begins with a hush.

The world slows down, the temperatures drop, and the energy invites us to pause. In witchcraft, stillness isn’t inactivity — it’s incubation. It’s the dark soil holding the seed.

After November’s deep transformation, your spirit needs a moment to settle, soften, and root.

🌙 Ritual: The Resting Candle

You’ll need:

• A white candle (clarity + peace)

• A pinch of lavender or chamomile

• A cozy blanket

Carve a single word into the candle: rest, soften, breathe, or restore.
As you light it, wrap yourself in your blanket and say:

“In the quiet, I renew. My spirit rests so my magic can rise again.”

Let the candle burn as you read, nap, journal, or simply exist. Your soul needs softness to prepare for the return of the light.
