The Twelve Days of Christmas

 
A few years back, I created a Twelve Days of Christmas Spread based on Christian saint and holy days and focusing on these themes:   
·         Beginnings
·         The Christian Seven Virtues
o   Prudence
o   Strength
o   Justice
o   Temperance
o   Faith
o   Hope
o   Charity
·         The Buddhist Four Gratitudes
o   Parents
o   Teachers
o   Friends
o   All Beings
And that makes twelve!
 
This year, I’d like to share my readings for each of the twelve days using Arcana Stones.  Each evening, I’ll post my reading for the following day and then the theme/position for the day after that.  I hope that makes it easy for you to join in with your own twelve days of Christmas readings if you like.
 
(Email me if you would like a pdf of the full spread.)
 
I’ll draw a stone and post my reading for the first day of Christmas tonight.  Here’s the theme:
 
First Day, December 25, Birthday of the New Light (Beginnings).  The calendar has since slipped, but the day to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child was chosen to coincide with the winter solstice, the birth of the sun, when the length of the daylight once again begins to increase a bit day by day.  What is being born or coming to light for me?
 
Stay tuned for my reading!
 
And I hope you’ll consider reading for yourself on these twelve days of Christmas for a mindful transition into the new year.

 

Merry Christmas!
