December- Cold Moon

As the year draws to a close, the Cold Moon rises high in the frosted sky.

Its silver light touches the stillness of winter, inviting us to pause, reflect, and listen deeply to the quiet wisdom that lingers in the dark nights.

December is not only a time of endings, but of sacred renewal.

Honoring what has been while making space for what is yet to come.

Pine, our guiding oil this month, carries the crisp breath of evergreen forests.

Its energy is purifying, gently sweeping away the heaviness of the year gone by, while restoring connection to the resilience of nature.

Blended with Sage for clearing and Juniper Berry for protection, this trio becomes a fragrant shield and a blessing, wrapping us in grounded strength as we prepare to step forward.

The Cold Moon whispers that closure is not about forgetting—it is about carrying the wisdom forward.

Every challenge, every joy, every lesson of this year has shaped you into who you are now.

You are invited to honor it all, then breathe deeply into the renewal waiting just beyond the horizon.

Self-Care Ritual: The Pine & Sage Release

Set the Space: Light a candle or place a small bowl of water by your side to symbolize renewal.

Create Your Blend: Add a drop each of Sage, Pine, and Juniper Berry into a diffuser or diluted into a palm inhalation.

Affirmation: “I honor the past and step into renewal.”

Reflection: Sit quietly and take three deep breaths. As you inhale, call to mind moments of the year that brought growth. As you exhale, release what you no longer need to carry.

Closing Gesture: Write down a word, phrase, or image that symbolizes what you wish to invite into the new year.

Place it under your candle or tuck it somewhere sacred as a reminder.

Let the Cold Moon be your lantern in the night sky, illuminating both endings and beginnings.

With Pine as your ally, you are guided into clarity, purification, and gentle renewal.
