Adapted for Tonya Dee's Courses, this guide offers a magical and meaningful way to welcome the New Year with intention and insight. This Celtic tradition, paired with the Germanic practice of Rauhnächte, invites mindfulness and spiritual exploration during the liminal time between December 26th and January 6th.

What Are Omen Days?

Omen Days are a 12-day ritual practice that bridges the energies of the old year with the incoming one. Each day corresponds to a month in the upcoming year, offering an opportunity to gain insight into what lies ahead and set intentions for growth and alignment.

The 12 nights of Omen Days begin on December 26, 2024, and conclude on January 6, 2025. You can choose to start earlier, such as on the Winter Solstice (December 21), Christmas Eve, or another meaningful day.

This is a liminal time—a potent energetic space perfect for divination, healing, and manifestation. Use this time to observe your environment and intuitively interpret omens, from natural signs to synchronicities.

Preparation: Ritual Supplies

1. 13 Pieces of Paper: Write one wish or goal for 2025 on each piece. Fold and place them in a jar or bowl.

2. Oracle or Tarot Deck: If you don’t have one, Tonya Dee offers collective card pulls.

3. Journal or 13 Moon Journal Book: To record insights and reflections.

4. Fireproof Dish or Cauldron: For burning the wishes.

5. Optional Supplies: Candles, incense, and other items to enhance your ritual space.

   Daily Ritual Schedule

   Each day, follow these steps:

   1. Draw a Card: Use your oracle or tarot deck to pull a card for the corresponding month. For example, on December 26, pull a card for January 2025.

   2. Journal: Reflect on the card’s meaning and how it aligns with your intentions or omens observed that day.

   3. Burn a Wish: Randomly select one folded wish from your jar. Without opening it, burn it as an offering to release its energy to the universe.

   4. Notice Omens: Pay close attention to your surroundings, interactions, and synchronicities. Note down any themes, symbols, or messages.
