00:00 - Intro to the video: A Folk Witch In Winter: Holding space for winter with release, rest and healing in stillness and darkness of Midwinter; how can winter with compassion for ourselves whilst culture pushes for us to set goals and new years’ resolutions? Here are my thoughts on goal-setting and manifestation as a witch
01:53 - Being in nature and how does a witch in winter respond to cultural expectations for manifesting your goals in 2025?
04:41 - The land is wintering - so what about New Year and the egregore?
07:08 - Let’s hold space for winter and death mother energy - rest, restore, release, heal, being in stillness and darkness as you alchemise and transform
08:46 - Goal-setting in 2024 and plans for 2025 for shadow work and healing
09:47 - Often you need to excavate to understand what you want
10:20 - Holding space + Wicked (trees resting with faith but humans like goal-setting)
12:00 - If you’re wintering this is for you - give yourself permission to move through it without pressure to goal-set
12:35 - Holding space for where we are at - crafting a process for goal-setting - prepping for manifesting - clearing energy + decluttering (Hermetic principles)
14:51 - Do what is right for you; honour where you are at in your own wheel; ask yourself what you need, be present, try not to resist and hold space for yourself.
Wishing you peace, prosperity and happiness for 2025
