December 21 Modranecht (Winter Solstice) THis night is dedicated to the female principle. This night is about giving thanks to the mothers, wet nurses, midwives, healers, etc.. Therefore, in the past, gifts were given to mothers on this night. Usually the Raunächte begin in the night of 24/25 Dec. from midnight, but some celebrate the Raunächte already from Modranecht and end the cycle accordingly earlier. We start the cycle on Dec. 24 and celebrate Modranecht as a preparation. You can get a nice book and or a nice pen if you like, or you can download the workbook I created for my online course and podcast to record your dreams and thoughts during the Raunacht days.
