The 13 Holy Nights is a window of time between December 24th and January 6th. It is a very special time when the veil between the worlds is thin and messages from the divine are easier to receive. This process is a way to capture those messages by setting time aside each night to reflect, journal, meditate, and pull an oracle card or two. Each night represents a month of the coming year and the information you receive on each night sets an intention for the corresponding month. The first night sets the intention for the entire year to come. I learned about this process in my Qigong training many years ago and I have been practicing it ever since. Along the way, I have shared it with friends and a few years ago set up a website to share it with a larger community, www.13holynights.com.

Each night during the 13 Holy Nights I spend time reflecting on the year behind me, the year ahead, and the day. I light a candle, read poetry or other inspiring writing, and I pull a SoulCollage® card from my deck as well as a couple of cards from my many oracle decks. This year I used Steven Farmer’s Power Animal Oracle Cards and The Power Deck by Lynn Andrews. I also decided to pull from my unfinished SoulCollage® and complete the card adding that energy to my Holy Nights journey.
