Rauhnacht 2: February, Home and Roots
The second night belongs to February and to the place you call home. That can be a flat, a house, a city, or simply the people around you. It is a good evening to ask what makes you feel safe and settled.
Look around the room you are in. What would you change to feel better here? Often it is something tiny: a lamp, a plant, a cleared shelf. The old custom liked a tidy house between the years, and Nebu, who floats above all clutter, quietly agrees.
🕯️ Tonight’s ritual
Choose one small corner of your home and tidy it for five minutes. Put one object there that makes you smile. If you like, light a candle nearby, but never leave it unattended.
✍️ Question for your notebook
What would make my home feel more like a place where I can breathe out?
