A New Year

There are so many wonderful traditions from around the world for celebrating the New Year. At the same time, there are those who remind us that the change of the calendar is arbitrary. Perhaps New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day don’t carry the power and meaning we give them.

I disagree. Even though the dates on our calendar don’t correlate our New Year with an astrological event, our New Year has power because we, the citizens of the planet, have agreed to give it power.

Think about it. Every nation of the planet rings in the New Year at midnight. We celebrate with resolutions, intentions, divinations, a kiss, and a song about friendship. That so many of us do this with the intention of creating a better year makes the New Year a very magickal time indeed.

What kind of magickal New Year celebration did you do? Is there more you want to do this month to help make 2015 your best year ever?
