- Reflection, Evaluation, and Adjustment (if need be) of my relationships, spiritual goals, and business / career goals, if I determine that something is unbalanced then I make the changes that I believe are necessary. This process usually includes getting a Reading usually from a fellow Reader though sometimes I will do one for myself as well.
- Cleansing my altar, sacred spaces, etherical body, and home are integral activities I practice, though I do cleansings throughout the year they have a specific focus during the Dark Time. During my reflections, if I have come to determine that I am in a relationship that is draining or that a goal I had set for myself no longer is aligned with my True Will, I will do a Ritualistic Cleansing, or cast a Banishing Spell, or Cord Cutting Rite.
- Releasing those things, people, and circumstances in my life that are no longer aligned with my True Will or Highest Good is an important activity for this time of year.
- Meditation and Trance Work are activities that occupy much of my practice during the Dark Time of the Year. My meditations are not guided, but are instead time set aside for communing with Spirit and allowing messages to filter through. Much of them are focused on self-improvement and reminders of my geas (or life’s purpose).
- Contemplation is something I consistently spend time on, but as with cleansing there is a particular focus during the Dark Time. I actively consider the goals I reflected upon and dissect the “how” and “why” of them. I allow the messages I obtained through my meditations to guide me through my visualizations that will ultimately enable me to become inspired so that I am able to manifest that which I desire come the Light Time of the Year.
- Resting is something I embrace at this time as well. Taking time to “do” nothing and simply be. I stand within the stillness and witness the decay and Death. This allows me to understand the cycle of life and brings me back to Reflection, Evaluation, and Adjustment.
