The December solstice symbolizes the fight against the intense cold and the light defeating the darkness. It is an ideal mystical moment to attract good energies through rituals. Some of them are:

This ritual is to receive the blessings of winter as a family. According to the site Theseasonalsoul.com, you need a large candle and other small ones, one for each member of the household. Turn off all the lights and stand in the center of the house. Light the large candle with a match and go around the house. Return to the starting point, blow out the candle and take some time to reflect on your New Year's wishes. Relight the large candle and then the small candles. When they are all lit, turn on all the lights in the house and blow out all the candles.
2. Ritual of release and attraction
It consists of dividing a sheet of paper in two and on one side write your resolutions for the following year, and on the other side the obstacles, problems or difficulties that you want to leave in the past. Cut the sheet to change and on the day of the solstice burn only the side of the problems you want to eliminate and as it burns in the fire, visualize the goals you wrote.
