Dear friend,
The Steam Winter Celebrations are starting today, and The Merry Fairy will be discounted by 20% until January 5th. I had been eagerly anticipating this day because I wanted to release a fresh new update on this occasion, but sadly, I cannot yet get a stable build. However, I am hopeful all the issues will be fixed rather soon, and until then, I made a little teaser for you:
With the next update, I will be sharing a powerful ritual that I will do very soon. It's my own version of what is sometimes called "Rauhnächte" or "The 13 wishes", and I will initiate it on the Winter Solstice, which is happening during the longest night of the year, on December 21. Since I don't know when the new build will be ready for you, I want to share this enchanted ritual now, in case you might want to perform it yourself:
Think about 13 wishes that you hope will come true in the year to come. Be careful what you wish for, because you need to be able to make any one of these wishes come true by yourself. So wish for something that you know you can accomplish.
Write down each wish on a separate piece of paper, and fold this paper so you will not be able to distinguish between your wishes.
Put the 13 pieces of paper in a bowl by the window, so the moon can see them.
On the longest, darkest night of the year, take a wish and burn it (safely! ❤️ ) without reading it
Every night after that, continue to burn one wish without reading it, until there is a single wish left in your bowl.
This is the wish that you alone are responsible for, so read it, and be ready to focus and make it happen!
It's easy to notice that this ritual will carry you across the years. If you start like me, on December 21, you will burn your 12th wish on January 1st, and get to know the wish you are responsible for.
If you consider performing this ritual, here are some tips from me! I always light a simple, tall candle when I think about and write down my wishes. I celebrate those moments of reflection as tiny rituals by themselves - I choose a cozy nook, I may play some gentle music, and I may remove all other distractions. When I write my wishes, I take the time to really understand what is important in the year to come, and what I want to channel my magic on. I tend to focus on small, but important wishes - for example, I wish to obtain a driver's license in the year to come, and for this I need not only to study and practice a lot, but also overcome my fear and shame for having failed my practical exam twice already.
Will you give the Ritual of the Darkest Night a try?
