Rauhnächte - Journal

"Rauhnächte" are the new Advent: In contrast to the four weeks before Christmas, the time between Christmas and the arrival of the three kings offers space for contemplative retreat and reorientation. In the hustle and bustle of the end of the year before the holidays, there is hardly any time for contemplation: Christmas aperitif, drinking mulled wine, buying presents and so on. The rough nights, on the other hand, fall in the quiet time between Christmas and New Year. In this very special week between the years when time often seems to stand still. They are the 11 days and 12 nights that lie between the lunar year with 354 days and the solar year with 365 days. They begin on the night of December 24th and 25th and end on the night of January 5th and 6th. These nights have been considered special and magical since Celtic times. With the Rauhnächte journal and card set you can use this special time to close out the old year, let go of issues and consciously start a new cycle.
