A New Dawn, A New You - A Cosmic Shift

As we stand on the precipice of a new era, a powerful cosmic alignment is unfolding. The cosmos is aligning to usher in profound change. With Pluto entering Aquarius and the arrival of Period 9, Fire, in the Chinese tradition, this marks a time of immense power, profound transformation and innovation. The upcoming Omen Days and and 13 Wishes offers a unique opportunity to harness and also tap into this potent cosmic energy and set intentions for the year ahead.

What are Omen Days and 13 Wishes? The Magic of Omen Days and 13 Wishes

The 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany, known as Omen Days, offer a unique opportunity to tap into this cosmic energy. They are believed to hold powerful energy and offer a glimpse into the year ahead. By observing Nature, performing Rituals, and setting Intentions during these days, you can align yourself with the cosmic rhythms and manifest your desires. As each day corresponds to a month of the coming year, allowing you to set intentions and visualize the outcomes you desire.

To amplify the power of these days, the tradition of making 13 wishes comes into play. The 13 Wishes ritual, a German tradition, involves writing down 13 wishes, then on 13 consecutive nights, one wish is burned, symbolizing its release into the universe. The 13th wish is kept as a secret, a personal goal to nurture and manifest. A reminder of your intentions throughout the year.

How to Make the Most of This Powerful Time:

1. Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors, whether it's a walk in the woods, a meditation by a body of water, or simply gazing at the stars. Nature can offer profound insights and inspiration.
2. Journaling and Reflection: Take time to Reflect on the past year. What were your successes and challenges? What lessons did you learn? Journaling can help you process your thoughts and emotions.
3. Set Intentions: Use the Omen Days and 13 Wishes to set clear and specific intentions for the year ahead. Be mindful of your desires and ensure they align with your values and goals. 
4. Practice Gratitude: Cultivate a sense of gratitude by focusing on the positive aspects of your life. Gratitude can shift your perspective and attract more abundance.
5. Embrace Change: With Pluto in Aquarius, expect the unexpected changes and disruptions. Embrace these opportunities for growth and transformation.
6. Learn New Skills: Take advantage of the innovative energy of Aquarius by learning new skills or exploring new hobbies.

Harnessing the Power of Omen Days

The Omen Days, a Celtic tradition, are believed to be a time of heightened spiritual energy. Each of the Twelve Days corresponds to a month of the year, making it an ideal time to set intentions and visualize your desires.

Here's a simple ritual to harness the power of Omen Days:

1. Reflection: Take some time to reflect on the past year. What were your successes and challenges? What Lessons did you learn?
2. Intention Setting: For each of the twelve days, write down an intention for the corresponding month. Be specific. Be Positive!
3. Visualization: Visualize yourself achieving your goals. The more vivid your visualization, the more powerful it will be.
4. Affirmations: Repeat positive affirmations daily to reinforce your intentions.

The 13 Wishes Ritual

A popular practice during the Omen Days is the 13 Wishes ritual. On each of the twelve nights, write down one wish for the coming year. On the thirteenth night, burn all the wishes, releasing them into the universe. I prefer to burn one wish each evening and pull one tarot/oracle card. The first wish is for January, the Second Wish if for February, so on and do forth. I do this each evening until the 13th wish. The 13th Wish is the wish I focus on for the entire upcoming year. The Oracle cards are the messages for each month.
