12/12 Portal

 

Today I will be using one of my most powerful tools, my fireplace. It's the 12/12 portal and I've a list to burn. 

I almost forgot, until I saw a tiktok video. That Witch mentioned today is a waning moon. She said waning moon prepare for what is to come. I had always thought of waning as letting go, culling, banishing. But you get rid of stuff to make room for the new, so I guess that tracks. 

I like the number 12. Twelve is a really good number for quilting. 12 inches makes a nice sized quilt block. 12 blocks makes a quilt. 12 blocks alone makes a twin sized quilt, and 12 blocks with sashing and borders makes a full sized quilt. 

There's twelve months in a year, and 12 numbers on a clock. Our whole lives are ruled by 12. 

So today, on the 12th day of the 12th month during a waning moon, I am letting go of what I do not wish to carry into the next year because I would rather my year be full of things I actually enjoy. Thursday, January 1, 2026 has a waxing gibbous moon and that is the best time to follow up this work with a list of things I want in 2026. That list won't be burned. It will be planted in my garden so my wishes will grow. 

What are you doing today? Blessed be.
