Cleansing is best done on all planes - physical, mental, spiritual - both indoors and in oneself. Do a general cleaning in the house, sort out things, give away those that you definitely won’t need anymore. Finish the cleansing with fire, use candles for this. Go around your entire apartment with a candle counterclockwise, starting from the front door and moving along the walls.
2. Do the same in terms of your information space, freeing yourself from destructive contacts, negative thoughts and connections you do not need.
Write down on a piece of paper everything that you would like to get rid of, and burn it.

During this period, you can remember all the bad things that have accumulated in your heart, and standing in the shower, have a good cry, show all the unexpressed emotions: anger, fears, resentment, etc. Water will wash everything away. A bath with sea salt and oils will nourish your cleansed body with beneficial energies.
4. Pay off all your debts, even the smallest and forgotten ones. And do not create new ones during this period. If possible, keep promises, complete things that you have been putting off for a long time, or outline a plan for their implementation. Forgive yourself and all your offenders.
5. After you clean up, get rid of the excess and fill yourself with beneficial energy to the maximum, you can proceed to the magic of creation. Because a week before the solstice, the magical period ALREADY begins. When all your words and thoughts can manifest. Therefore, from this day on, control cleanliness: home, thoughts, information, communication. Filter out all negativity. Read life-affirming affirmations. Think in a positive and joyful way as you plan for your abundant future.
6. During the week before the Solstice, it’s good to sum up the results of the year: what did you do, what didn’t, where were the problems or failures, and where were the successes and achievements. It is necessary to leave them in the outgoing year or, having recognized and worked through them, turn them into sources of strength.
7. Start a new diary, later you will need it to record events and moods, feelings and signs in the first twelve magical days of the New Year.

The turn that takes place in the very center of the night of the year has a special power, joining which, all living things will begin their ascent to manifestation. The main thing on this day is to feel this turn, to reproduce it as some kind of internal movement. If you set yourself such a goal, options will come, let your creativity, the sunny beginning, manifest here, this is important.
- On this day, you must definitely find time to touch the depths of your life. Move away from the superficial everyday bustle and pay attention to what is happening inside you, in life. And starting from this foundation, find what ideas of yours are waiting to be born, brought to life, what is ready to become a plan for the future. The plans drawn up on this day and for the whole year have a special power - because you fill them with the power of the growing Sun.
- On the evening of December 21, lay a rich table, light candles, make a small altar to worship the Sun God, decorate it with solar symbols, put bright fruits, symbols of wealth and abundance. This tradition is considered a guarantee that the whole year will be just as satisfying, rich and profitable.

Since ancient times, people have believed that at this time you can attract many positive changes in your life in terms of material wealth and well-being.
After reading this article, you can find out what is the longest and shortest night of the year.
People of many nationalities believed in the unusual mystical power of the solstice time. This magical period, according to many, is characterized by the incredible strength of its energy and is marked by the longest night.
Before we know which night is the longest of the year, let us briefly consider what this time represented for people who lived in former ages.
General information from history
In Rus', since the 18th century, a rather interesting rite has been associated with this day (winter solstice). The elder of the bell-ringers of the Moscow cathedral, who was in charge of the clock, came to bow to the tsar. On this day, he reported to the ruler that the sun had turned to the summer, the day was slowly beginning to increase, and the night was going to decrease. The king, in turn, rewarded the headman with money for such good news.
December 22 can be called the New Year, but natural. Sun at 9:11 p.m. December 21, Moscow time, falls as much as possible into the southern hemisphere, thus, astronomical winter sets in. At the latitude of Moscow, the day length is 6 hours 56 minutes.
Quite a long dark from 21 to 22 December. The sun sets the lowest after just such a night - on the day of the winter solstice. It is also called the solstice.
In everyday life, this phenomenon is imperceptible to people, but it is perfectly demonstrated in special images taken by astronomers. The sun is photographed at the same time all year round, then all the images are combined into one image. It shows an analemma - a bizarre trajectory of a change in the location of a star in the sky. It represents the shape of a figure eight, on which the very edge of the lower loop corresponds to the solstice. So the most long night- from 21 to 22 December.
After this "New Year" the day gradually begins to increase until it is equal in duration to the night, and this is the day of the vernal equinox, which occurs on March 20th. Then (June 21) comes the summer solstice, when the day is the longest, but the night is the shortest.
Most fun night
The longest night of the year (the number is given above) is also the most fun for many peoples.
The ancient peoples of Great Britain many centuries ago tried to joke a lot, laugh and have fun on this night. People believed that the problems voiced in the form of jokes that night would definitely be positively resolved soon. They were sure that the more fun during this period, the more successful the coming year will be.
On the mystical power of a significant period
The longest night of the year in the view of many peoples has mystical power. It has long been believed that the solstice is a significant day. During this period, there is a revival of all the brightest, and the subsequent addition of hours of daylight hours marks the victory of light over darkness.
The meeting of this significant time always took place in a special way: folk holidays were timed to coincide with it. The Celts, for example, during this period celebrated Yule (analogous to the New Year). Slavic peoples on the day of the solstice revered Karachun (the deity of cold and darkness, the lord of winter).
According to the beliefs of the Slavs, on this night, darkness conquers light, and with the advent of a new morning, everything ends happily. With the victory of light comes the renewal of the world, victory triumphs over evil.
In cultures different peoples the time of the winter solstice (the longest night of the year) was considered the most favorable for various rituals and rituals. Many of them, which came from antiquity, can be applied now, since the strength of the longest night of the year has not diminished over time, and people, as before, always have a desire to change themselves and their lives for the better.
The energy of the transition from darkness to light (renewal) helps to get rid of everything unnecessary and attract the desired.
Ritual for getting rid of problems
When the longest night of the year passes, it becomes possible to experience the beneficial effects of the solstice for yourself.
Rites are especially effective at such a time (energetically saturated) as the day of the solstice. You should take advantage of this opportunity, because such a period happens only 2 times a year.
The ritual for getting rid of various problems is especially relevant, due to the fact that the solstice occurs almost before the New Year. Everyone wants to move into a new stage of life, leaving failures and difficulties behind. And it is precisely such a period that can help in this: the energy message sent to the Universe during the ritual is a reliable tool in solving problems.
It is necessary to carry out the ceremony in solitude, after the sun has gone beyond the horizon. What is it? You should light a candle and, peering into the fire, think about the troubles and problems that interfere with life and which you want to get rid of. At the same time, say the following words: “I drive away darkness with fire, I save myself from oppression. The night will pass - it will take away my problems with it. As the day increases, my life will be filled with happiness. To be this."
After these words, the candle should burn for some time in a safe place, and before going to bed it should be extinguished and the ritual completed with the following words: "Let everything that you wish come true."
Conclusion
December 22 is such a long night! It can help to do many important things: to meet, make up, think over and make wishes, analyze the past and think about the future...
Night from 21 to 22 December - New Year, Slavic New Year. On the evening of December 21, the universe begins to die. According to ancient beliefs, everything perishes - stars, planets, the Sun, the Universe itself. Our ancestors were afraid of this. They were afraid that the old Sun would perish and the gods would not create a new one. Therefore, the gods were helped with the help of 120 lights. In all ancient religions (Slavic, Indian Vedic, Greek, Roman, Celtic and others) there were 120 gods. 48 gods of the inner circle (in humans they are embodied by 48 energy meridians, 48 elements of gene records, 48 moral qualities etc.) and 72 gods of the outer circle (in man they are embodied by 72 archetypes of the collective unconscious, 72 life situations etc.) - together amounted to 120. The same number of Archangels in esoteric Christianity, and ruling spirits in witchcraft grimoires. To help each Deity, a candle was lit (option: a splinter, a bowl, a fire), in total 120 lights were obtained. Helping the gods to create a new universe, and lighting the fires, the ancestors wanted their wishes to be fulfilled in the new universe. Therefore, on that night, it was necessary to think of 300 to 500 wishes. How? First, they formed a picture: they mentally saw their desire already fulfilled. Then they really wanted it. And then they sang the names of the gods until the desire and the picture went into space. And so 300-500 times. In the morning, everyone was already very tired, both with fear of the end of the world (what if the Sun did not rise?), And exhausted by making wishes. And when the Sun rose, exhaustion was replaced by fullness of strength, fear - by joy. "Hooray! There will be a New Universe and our desires will come true in it.” A powerful holiday began, which lasted until December 25.
... Somewhere on December 21, between 22 and 23 hours local time, a black funnel appears in the sky, which begins to draw everything into itself. Around 01:00 the retraction stops and all the worlds become dark. Somewhere at 01.25 the Universe begins to be reborn from the funnel, and by sunrise everything is back to normal.

December 1st was Winter Fairy Day. The Slavs, like other peoples of the Eurasian continent, have a concept of fairies. Fairies were conceived as elemental spirits of the element Time. And since all the other elements appeared from the elements of Time, the fairies are endowed with power over them. The legend recorded by ethnographers says that the Fairy of Winter on this day can
easily meet in the forest as a rider on a white horse. She can even stop, talk to a person, find out his desire and fulfill it. Slavic magicians knew how to call the Winter fairy with a ritual. Also on this day, gifts for the Fairy were brought to the forest and in the field. It was believed that whoever takes the gift will easily survive the winter cold without loss.
December 4 is the day of the Great Mother Zarnitsa. Zarnitsa in ancient Slavic mythology were considered independent sentient beings, spirits, which is confirmed by the constant appeal to them for help in conspiracies and whispers. On this day, magical

December 21 is the day of the winter solstice, after which astronomical winter will come in the Northern Hemisphere. This day is considered the shortest of the year, so the night from December 21 to 22 will be the longest.
01 What is the winter solstice and when is it?
The winter solstice is an astronomical event when the Earth tilts away from the Sun at its maximum. On the day of the winter solstice, astronomical winter sets in in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet. In 2017, the winter solstice will occur on December 21 at 19.28 Moscow time. After it, the day will gradually increase, and the night will decrease.
According to astronomers, on this day the Sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest, describing the shortest arc in the sky. Over the capital of Russia, the Sun will rise above the horizon at 8.57 and set at 15.58 Moscow time, the daylight hours will be 7 hours. For example, on the day of the summer solstice, June 22, daylight hours in Moscow last 17 hours 34 minutes, RIA Novosti writes.
On the day of the winter solstice, the height of the Sun above the horizon at noon will be 11 degrees. It is reported that on December 21 at noon one can observe the lowest position of the Sun above the horizon in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth.
03 How was this day celebrated in ancient times?
In Rus', a special ceremony was associated with this day. The bell ringer of the Kremlin, who was responsible for the chimes, went to bow to the tsar. He proclaimed that the Sun turned to the summer: the day is increasing, and the night is decreasing. On frosty days, our ancestors made gifts to each other, went caroling, jumped over the fire, danced round dances.
04 What beliefs are associated with this day?
The winter solstice was used to judge the future harvest. If there is frost on the trees, then there will be a rich harvest. In Rus', they said: “At the winter solstice, the bear in the den turns over - it turns from one side to the other,” and also “According to the bear’s desire, the cold winter lasts: the bear in the den turns to the other side - in winter, half the way to spring is left.”
The spring equinox is a unique natural phenomenon, when in all countries the day is almost equal to the night.
In 2017, the spring equinox was March 20. On this day, the Earth, rotating around its axis, was in such a position in relation to the luminary that the sun's rays fell vertically on the equator. During this event, the Sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern.
The spring and autumn equinoxes are considered the astronomical beginning of the respective seasons. The time interval between two equinoxes of the same name is called a tropical year, which practically coincides with the duration ordinary year. These two phenomena should be distinguished from the winter and summer solstices: the first indicates the beginning of astronomical winter, and the second - astronomical summer. During the summer solstice, people can observe a long day and a short night.
In 2017, the winter solstice begins on December 21 at 19:28 Moscow time, when the Sun enters 0° Capricorn. In Bishkek it will be 22:28.
According to signs, what the weather will be like today, it will be like this on December 31st. , then it is quite possible that the New Year's Eve of the Kyrgyz people will be snowy.
Light day will last 6 hours 51 minutes, the night of December 22 - 17 hours 9 minutes. After that, astronomical spring will come in the Northern Hemisphere - daylight hours will begin to grow.
Solstice occurs twice a year - in summer and winter. This is an astronomical event - the Sun on this day is at the largest angular distance from the equator, and, accordingly, the height of its location is minimal for one hemisphere of the Earth and maximum for the other. This leads to phenomena such as the longest and shortest daylight hours of the year.
The phenomenon got its name because of the location of the Sun in the sky - for several days at noon the luminary is at one constant height - it stands, hence the solstice. The winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere usually falls on December 20, 21 or 22, which is the shortest day of the year.
Celebration traditions

The ancient Slavs celebrated the pagan New Year, better known as Kolyada, among the Germanic peoples - Yule, among the Romans until the 3rd century - Sol Invictus. From oak or pine, people kindled a ritual fire, which symbolized the rebirth of the Sun. The main decoration of the festive table was a loaf in the shape of the sun.
In Scotland, it was customary to launch a solar wheel - "solstice": a barrel was coated with burning tar and allowed down the street. The wheel symbolized the sun, its spokes resembled rays, and the rotation of the spokes during movement made the wheel look like a luminary.
In Christian churches that have switched to the Gregorian calendar, Christmas is celebrated these days. Orthodoxy uses the Julian calendar, according to which the date of Christmas coincided with the winter solstice two thousand years ago, but has now shifted half a month later.
