Hello to you,
I wanted to end the year with a small gift for you. I have created a winter solstice journal for you to print out and enjoy. I know this is such a busy time. It’s tempting to push through and drop in a heap with a box of quality streets on Christmas day.
This year make a date with yourself on the 22nd December and pause for the winter solstice. With all that is going on in the world, the very least we can do is keep peace in our hearts.
Simply download and print out the booklet below or have it open on your lap top and do the tarot spread and journaling in your favourite notepad.
If you really don’t have time for any of that, promise me one thing. You will take 10 minutes out to go and lie on your bed on the solstice at sunset and if you are really adventurous go outside. No podcast, no phone, no cards, no nothing. Just you and your beautiful self, in the darkness breathing in and out. That really is enough. Let’s not make rituals and spiritual practice another thing to have to do on our to do list. I say doing nothing and resting is the most important ritual of all. (By the way I need to listen to my own advice on this)
For those of you who would like it, I will open the chat for people to discuss their cards with each other here on the substack app. You may want to check in with card meanings or interpretations with the community here. There are almost 600 of you after all.
I’m pausing my newsletter next week to take a Christmas break with family. I’m sending you warm wishes for this festive time. Merry winter solstice, Christmas and a very happy new year to you. I hope you'll find true moments of inner contentment. Oh and if the quality streets in a heap thing happens then big hugs to you. You deserve a good rest and there’s no judgement here. I like the triangular green one the best. You?
This newsletter is free but you can help me become more widely known as a tarot reader and writer by sharing this post with a friend or on your substack app. Simply click share below or highlight your favourite quote and restack it. I’d really appreciate it. My books reopen after a long break in the New Year and you’ll be able to book a recorded reading with me. Hurrah!!
Much love Claire Amritavani
Don’t forget to share and restack
