Darcy and Tracy are kicking off The Cosmic Yule Countdown – 13 Nights to Manifest Your Best 2026 — a simple Winter Solstice ritual designed to help you set realistic, achievable goals and carry that intention across the New Year.
They break down the “why” behind Yule/solstice season, exactly how the 13-night jar + wish-burning ritual works (no peeking!), optional tarot/oracle pulls for monthly guidance, and the Night 13 twist: the final wish is the one you’re responsible for making happen in 2026.
✨ Join us LIVE in the Hot Mess Cosmic Express Facebook group on Sunday, Dec 21 at 7 PM to do Night 1 together and raise the vibe as a collective.
In this episode:
Why Winter Solstice matters: the shortest day + the symbolic return of light
Yule basics + how different cultures celebrate this season
The whole point: 13 nights to focus energy on what you want to build in 2026
Step 1: Write 13 achievable goals (wishes = goals with intention)
Step 2: Make a Master List you can keep + review throughout the year
Step 3: Write each wish on a strip of paper, fold it away from you until it can’t be read, and put all 13 in a jar/container
Starting Dec 21 (or anytime before New Year): each night you randomly pull one wish (no reading), then burn it safely to release it
Optional: pull an oracle/tarot card each night for monthly guidance (Jan–Dec)
Bonus tip: keep the ashes if you want to use them in future rituals
Night 13 twist: you open the last wish — and you are responsible for completing that one in 2026
Examples of achievable wishes: health/energy, organizing a stressful area, building a skill, nature time, etc.
Live kickoff: Sunday, Dec 21 at 7 PM in the FB group
Keep goals realistic so you can actually finish the ritual.
Don’t overcomplicate it: consistency beats perfection.
Releasing 12 wishes helps you stop micromanaging… and focus on the one you control.
