For your winter solstice
„Winter Solstice,
When the darkest night
makes room for the light
to return.“
Hallo you,
How are you? How does it feel to arrive at the darkest point of the year?
Yesterday, in the early evening, I walked through an already dark Berlin. Fog hung in the air, so thick that I could barely make out the glowing star on the Zionskirche.
The TV Tower, usually so clearly visible from my living room window, had disappeared.
Such dense fog.
I found myself thinking of Frau Holle, and that she surely has her fingers in this, perhaps wanting to make it easier for us humans to finally slow down and come to rest.
The Hermit and the Snake
2025 was not an easy year on any frequency. In the outer world of global politics, and at the same time deep within human beings, down to the cellular level.
Upheaval, clarification, letting go, recognizing and releasing illusions and projections, relationships.
Oh, it can be painful to realize that a vision, a deep longing, belongs to the past, and that you have grown beyond it.
As you know, I know this well. Years ago, I made a conscious decision to initiate my own shedding process.
To befriend the archetype of the Hermit, and to trust that stillness and rest can be medicine.
A medicine that brings clarity, connection, and a sense of being held, and that can guide you through the darkest moments, so that you learn to let the light sleeping within you become a lantern.
So that you can illuminate the path for yourself and for others.
Oh dear, I love her deeply, the Hermit.
To shed one's skin
In theory, this makes deep sense, because this process is needed for the body to grow, and for the outer layer, the skin, to make space for that growth.
It is not a pleasant process, though, because after all the old skin was a comfortable protection, perhaps finally easy to live in for a moment, and even beautiful to look at.
The cosmology and the quality of time of this year have likely invited and challenged you, in many areas, to look at yourself, your essence, and your relationships and work from a new perspective.
To pause, to acknowledge, to digest… yes, and then?
Shedding one’s skin requires the space and time of digestion, the practice and the permission to enter Hermit phases, to come into sensing and feeling, to allow grief for an old identity that may now become clearer.
Only then does emotional digestion take place, and integration can finally follow.
And then, when this tender new skin appears?
Give it rest, darkness, time, and protection, so it can find its way in this climate.
Give yourself time to sense and feel this skin, knowing full well that it has only just been born from you.
Thank you
You did not walk through all of these processes alone, even if it may have felt that way at times.
All of us were engaged in transformation during this calendar year, with what it takes for your authentic being, in all of its power, to finally come into effect for you, and through that, for all of us.
And for this, I want to say thank you.
For your attention and your trust, for reading and listening, for sitting together in Morning Stimmung, in the Moon Circle,
for allowing me to be your channel to the spiritual world, and for letting me inspire you through my passion for frequencies, cosmology, symbols, and ancient knowledge to bring your voice, your truth, into the world.
That means a lot to me.

Outlook
Honestly,
this year it feels to me as if we are being invited to truly honor this darkness and the beginning of winter. In rest, slowness, and simplicity.
Very hermit like, deeply respectful of our still so tender skin.
For me, the Rauhnächte begin, along with oracling, sensing, feeling, and seeing. Being with what is, in stillness and devotion.

If you feel that you are longing for clarity, inspiration, and guidance for your new calendar year,
I invite you to a Mediumship Consultation.
In January, I will be offering four appointments.
With the New Moon in Capricorn, a new Morning Stimmung cycle will also begin on Monday, January 19, 2026.
Also with the New Moon, I am offering two places in The Gift of Your Voice, the three month mentoring program for your authentic voice. You can find all the information here.
From my heart, I send you love, hope,
and trust for these darkest days of the year.
May you allow the beauty in the darkness,
in the unknown, in the suspension, in rest.
May you be reminded that the light
always returns in greater splendor.
Very soon, when your new skin
is ready to feel
the warmth of the rays.
