The darkest nights ask for the coziest magic. We lean into Yule and the winter solstice with the Nine of Cups as our north star, exploring how to treat yourself with small, meaningful rituals that fit real life. From fairy lights and tea to bookstore wanders and artist dates, we lay out practical, low-cost ways to keep your cup full when the calendar is packed and the sun slips away early.

We also get honest about tarot study. Temperance makes so much more sense when you see it as balance—time, energy, and pacing—rather than an abstract virtue. And yes, swords can sting; naming the cards we dread turns avoidance into understanding and better readings for others. Our coven’s photo challenges reveal shared struggles and wins, making learning feel communal and fun without pressure.

If you’re solstice-curious, here’s the good news: you don’t need to reinvent Christmas to honor Yule. Evergreens, lights, mistletoe, and even nativity scenes can be reimagined as symbols of life returning. Try intention ornaments you’ll burn on New Year’s Eve, snow collected for offerings, or bowls of snow dressed with herbs like a candle—letting the melt release your wish. Keep evening lights flickering until solstice to welcome the sun back and to remind your spirit that cycles turn.

We wrap with simple invitations: a twilight walk to spot winter signs, a shared cup with a witch-curious friend, a handmade or thrifted gift if capacity allows. Joy is a craft you can practice in small, steady ways. If this episode makes your season feel a little lighter, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs cozy magic, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find our coven. How will you treat yourself this week?
