It’s Giving Mystical — Week of December 26

This week’s episode is an invitation to slow all the way down.

We’re in the liminal days — that strange, potent stretch between Christmas, the Solstice, and the New Year — a time that has long been understood as mythic time, outside the usual rules of productivity, urgency, and linear momentum.

In this episode, Kirsten explores the ancient idea of the 12 Holy Days — the days between December 26 and January 6 — and how they can be used as a powerful contemplative bridge between the year that’s ending and the one that’s forming.

Rather than rushing toward 2026, this is a call to stay with your life.

• Why 2025 isn’t over yet — and why wishing time away robs us of magic

• How the 12 Holy Days can be used as a gentle reflection on each month of the past year

• A simple ritual: giving each day to one month (January–December) — honoring what was, and sensing what’s coming

• The feeling of these days as out of time — sacred, strange, and deeply alive

This week’s cards speak to liberation, momentum, and integration.

• Eight of Swords (Reversed) — breaking free from mental confinement, outdated stories, and self-imposed limitations

• Eight of Wands — sudden movement, energy returning, something real taking shape

• Double Eight energy — manifestation, materialization, spirit entering form

• Temperance (appearing twice) — the reminder to pace yourself, to metabolize change rather than burn out on it

• Three & Six of Pentacles — collaboration, reciprocity, and remembering that your liberation lives within community

There’s an electric “I knew it” moment here — vindication, clarity, momentum — paired with a deeper wisdom asking:

How do I hold this energy without losing myself to it?

When energy finally moves after a long contraction, it can feel intoxicating — like anger, desire, or joy cracking something open.

This episode explores:

• How to ride the wave without getting stuck in the charge

• Why emotional highs can sometimes create their own hangovers

• How to come back to center, nourishment, and ground without dimming your aliveness

These final days of the year matter.

They are not filler.
They are not insignificant.
They are not something to “get through.”

There is a gift at the door — and you don’t want to miss it.

As Kirsten reminds us:

The worst thing is not discomfort — it’s numbness.
We’re here to feel, to experience, to stay awake to our lives.

Let this be a week of presence.
Of honoring who you’ve become.
Of staying open to beauty, mystery, and miracle — even now.

✨ Happy Holy Days. Happy Returning Light.
✨ And may you meet the threshold with open hands.
